Familiar


 * Familiars are enchanted
 * creatures who follow and
 * guide new witches to protect
 * them while they learn the
 * Craft. While they are often
 * cats, other animals, like
 * dogs, rabbits, horses, and
 * snakes can be familiars as
 * well. Familiars are naturally
 * attuned to the seasons
 * and phases of the moon and
 * can be helpful in teaching
 * the young witch a
 * heightened awareness
 * of her environment.
