Spell for Summoning a Domestic Familiar 🐾
“A domestic familiar is an animal that stays with the Witch, provides magickal assistance and represents sacred nature. A Familiar is an animal you have a psychic connection with, or one that will help you with magick. A domestic familiar is sacred, a representation of the Goddess and God in living form. As a Witch, or as a Pagan, you have a heritage of a connection with nature, a spiritual connection with animals. Your pet is not necessarily a domestic Familiar, so don’t think that you can force your hamster into magickal service for you.”
“You can’t just go buy an animal and assume it will help make you a stronger, more powerful Witch. They can be rescued, found or borrowed (an occasional visit from your neighbor’s cat might have more meaning than you think), Domestic Familiars can be a pigeon you feed every day, the dog you’ve had since you were a child, or a cat that visits at dinner time. As long as the animal is willing, it can be trained as a domestic Familiar.Your domestic Familiar will find you, when you are ready. Don’t think that you can hide a dog from the landlord, a rat from your parents, or a cat from your children. If you don’t have an animal in your life who may become your domestic Familiar, you can call one. But remember, it’s their choice to reveal themselves. You’ll know instinctively.”
The following is a spell I have devised and will try myself. (Note, I have taken some of the spell wording/following chant from modern media but honestly if the words work and the intention is in your heart, then it’ll work, whether you heard it on a show, read it in a book, or are using someone else’s words, your intentions must be pure. Then all you have to do is believe.)
Few pieces of paper & pen/pencil📃🖋(I say a few, for mistakes, we know it happens, lol)
Utensil to write in the dirt with (twig/opposite end of pen, etc. *writing with your finger is also acceptable👍🏼)
A mixture of the following herbs:
Sage: Healing, Protection, Wisdom, Wishes, Health, Immortality
Blessed Thistle: Spiritual Aid, Protection
Horehound: Mental Powers, Protection, Healing, Exorcism
Shepherd’s Purse: Spells & Rituals, Healing
Agrimony: Protection, Sleep
Yarrow: Divination, Psychic Powers, Courage, Love
Wormwood: Calling Spirits, Divination, Love, Protection, Psychic Powers
Dandelion: Calling spirits, Divination, Wishes
Spearmint Leaf: Augmenting Power, Healing Love, Luck, Strength, Sleep
Alfalfa Leaf: Magic (also, random, but used for: anti-hunger, as well as money/prosperity magic)
Bay Leaf: Visions, Dreams, Healing, Psychic Powers, Repels Negative Energy
White Willow Bark: Divination, Healing, Love, Protection
Kelp: Travel Protection (so your Familiar arrives safely😉)
Catnip: Friendship, Happiness, Joy, Love, Beauty (dont worry, if you dont want a cat, this is mainly for Friendship, Happiness and Joy, yes it can be used for cat magic but if you want a dog or a fish or reptile, this will still be good because you are trying to form a bond)
Sea Salt: Purification, Protection
Copy this sigil onto the paper📃 and into the dirt you stand on.🌱
Sigil Meaning: “My Domestic Familiar Will Find Me”
🙌🏼Repeat the following chant as you imagine your familiar finding you. (If you have a specific animal preference, picture it. Imagine your Familiar finding you and what kind of bond you want to have. Be clear that this is for your Domestic Familiar…you don’t want just any spirit showing up.🤷♀️)
“Spirits of the forest*, I pronounce my intentions to thee. I ask my hearts familiar Come forth and seek me and equals we will be. Not master and servant but familiar to familiar, to share our knowledge, our spirit, and our traits. To guide one another in this journey. Come forth sweet familiar, and equals we will be. So mote it be.”
*You may change “Forest” to, “Earth, Air, Water and Fire”~ if you do not have an idea or preference of what kind of Familiar you want. For example if you would like a land animal (cat, dog, rabbit, etc) you can use Forest/Earth, if you’d like a bird-Air, Fish- Water, Dragon (more like a reptile/lizard, sorry, we dont get cool dragons like in Game of Thrones, lol)-Fire, and so on.
*if you want an insect I’d research the correct element that is associated, could be air, could be earth, etc.. Always, Always do your research! No one is perfect and sometimes people get things wrong, but researching does help when you’re unsure!
Seal the spell by the corresponding action. For example, again if you have a *preference of animal, you will dispense the herbs in one of the following ways:
Earth- bury the elements🌱
Air- Throw them to the wind🌪
Water- Dispense in a body of water💧
Fire- Throw the elements into a fire**🕯
🔥**Always remember Fire Safety~especially since you’ll be outside, for this I’d say bring an ashtray to burn the paper safely and once the flame is completely out and the paper is ash *do not burn your fingers*, throw them to the wind**🔥
*If no preference of animal, choose the way that speaks to you most and dispense the herbs in that way.
☆Also, please be reasonable about what you ask, as well as reasonable about what you can keep in your home. I’m sorry but I can’t help you explain to your parent why you need a comodo dragon as your familiar…and also, sorry but, you will not have a unicorn, talking animal that tells jokes, or a hippogryph showing up, so again, keep it reasonable.😉
Once the spell is complete, let the spirits work, let the spell do its work~ keep an open heart and mind, understand your Familiar will not just appear instantaneously, give it time, understand there is an instinctual process and response and your Familiar will come. Something inside will tell you this is them.
🌟Remember when you do find your Familiar/your Familiar finds you, this is your equal, treat them as such, Never harm your Familiar. Do not force your Familiar to engage in magic with you, they know what they need and sometimes what you need. They will participate at will, but when they do you will know why they are you Familiar, you can just feel it in your heart.🌟
Listen, observe, Pay Attention to them. And your bond will be incomparable.💞
BLESSED BE, BELOVEDS. I WISH YOU ALL THE SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN YOUR JOURNEY TO FINDING YOUR FAMILIAR! PLEASE SHARE YOUR STORIES AS WELL! I’D LOVE TO HEAR THEM! 💐
