About this episode
Laylla and Chelle explore the enigmatic world of familiars. With a blend of historical lore and modern musings, they dive into the mystical origins of the familiar spirit—those magical helpers of old who often appeared as animals and aided witches in their magical practices. The witches then shift to a playful debate on whether your modern-day cat (or any pet for that matter) qualifies as a true familiar or just a furry friend. Tune in to unpack the essence of familiars, both in the witch trials of yesteryear and in today's living rooms. Whether you're a seasoned witch or a curious newbie, this episode will enchant you with insights and maybe even a spell to connect with your own animal ally!
