Category: Familiars

A familiar is like an ally, an agent of sorts. A spirit, that because of your connection to the force it lives in has taken an interest in you. They work on the law of sympathy, that energetic connection. No spirit is superior or inferior, and knowing your familiar is the best way to maximize your relationship. It is also a way to learn more about yourself, because you attract what you are kin to. By deliberate intent, by making something your concern, your focus attunes you to the energy. The more intent the more attunement, until it’s like standing in their world.


“The way to kill a man or a nation is to cut off his dreams, the way the whites are taking care of the Indians: killing their dreams, their magic, their familiar spirits.” William S. Burroughs

  • Familiar Companions

    Familiar Companions

    Familiar spirits is not unlike the term kindred spirits. It’s even sort of like the concept of soul mates. It’s basically the idea that birds of a feather flock together.

    Connection with a Familiar

    The Kami is one kind of familiar spirit. They do form bonds with humans as is evident in Japanese legend. The Kami are a sort of elemental spirit, but rather evolved. They tend to draw their energy from plants and want them to thrive. They also tend to like children, as do fairies, and this…

  • Identify Your Familiar

    Identify Your Familiar

    If you want to avoid confusion, identifying your familiar is helpful. If your familiar is a Kami, they tend to be sort of organized so they are good at networking. If your familiar is a Fairy, they are more free spirited, attuned to the raw pulse of life, and understand the primal desire in life. Kami…

    Law of Sympathy with Familiar Spirits

    We can perhaps call a familiar spirit if none have noticed us, and we can also select as well? One might not have the qualities I’m looking for. Yes, actually. If you want to connect more with say a primal force, you can open yourself to storm spirits. The progression of a familiar bond is…

    Experiencing Your Familiar

    I won’t go into familiars as a phenomenon. Today, we are discussing working with them. There are a lot of theories for how it’s possible to do this, but first I will just go into the experience of it, and how to do it on purpose. To summarize what familiars are, this is a spirit…

    All techniques to work with your familiar are ways of triggering right temporal lobe access. Now, from my earlier explanation, it sounded like the hemispheres mirror each other, yes? Well, they do in a very literal sense, so let’s start with the “Magic Mirror” technique. You get a mirror either of the old fashioned style…

  • Individual Familiars

    Individual Familiars

    Familiars all have different temperaments and talents. So your familiar may have inclinations that make it unsuitable for some types of information retrieval. If it’s “not a people person”, it won’t recognize psychological information you might ask it to learn. It will try, but the feedback it gives you would be distorted. My own right…

    Working With Familiars: Automatic Writing

    Ready for another technique to communicate with your familiar? This one is known as automatic writing. It’s more subtle, but is in some ways easier than the magick mirror which is more generally called scrying. With automatic writing, the set up is the same. Focusing your inner attention on the familiar, and working out your…

    Working with familiars isn’t just information gathering. Besides information gathering, you can ask your familiars to undertake “advocacy” for you. Your familiar is a part of the same field of consciousness that you are. Just as you can sense other peoples emotions and states of being, so can it. And just as they can senses…
