How do I find my Familiar?

Some say you have to talk to a Shaman to do a spiritual journey with you, others say just meditate and your familiar will appear to you 4 times.

I'm not exactly sure myself and am planing on searching my own familiar when I'm ready.

I've had it both ways. My Spider totem just came to me, years ago, when I was just starting out on the Path. More recently (but still quite a while ago), I got into Harner-style Shamanism and met my two power animals that way.

Well honestly,i haven't got mine yet but i think you can use some sort of location spell

There are spirits that deal with this specifically if you are into that route. There are plenty on both the left and right hand paths. Not to mention Faye. I believe you can create your own if you feel the urge. There are books on creating your own entities and since a familiar is essentially a witch's assistant, I see no reason why you can't anoint one. Personal story time: I did not think I was going to get one until my mother's dog died (we were very close). I made an emotional plea to Anubis (the universe) and asked if he could be my familiar. I cannot see things yet so I was unaware if anything had happened. Until later that day at my local shop I had my Tarot read. Afterwards he asked my wife (who can see) if I knew about the giant dog following me around. I had chosen not to bring up the incident during the reading at all. So when he was able to describe him to my wife I was a bit shook. She was hesitant to tell me about it before since she was grieving and thought that might be the issue. After that, she told me everything.
