A familiar is most commonly an animal that helps you on your magical journeys. They help you find items, help you cast spells, are good friends, and so much more!
If you have a familiar spirit according to the Bible, it means that you are into witchcraft.
Technically you don't summon a familiar, a familiar chooses the person in which they will work with. This is for better energy flow and less controversy or arguments.
In the 17th century, a familiar referred to a supernatural entity or spirit that was believed to assist witches or sorcerers in their magical practices. Often depicted as a small animal or demon, familiars were thought to help with spells, provide guidance, and even act as a conduit for dark powers. The concept was common in witchcraft trials, where individuals accused of witchcraft were often said to have a familiar that aided them in their alleged maleficence. This belief contributed to the widespread fear and persecution of individuals accused of witchcraft during this period.
Most likely, the first (and most well-known) familiar would be a cat, but really any animal could be a familiar. During the Burning Times, any animal that was commonly seen with the "witch" could be a familiar, or any animal that seemed to be doing "suspicious" things- listening to a conversation, say, or perhaps a dog that bit at a townsperson. Also, if an animal was injured (say, it's a cat that got caught in a trap) and then the "witch" turned up with an unexplained injury, that was supposed to be a clear sign of witchcraft, and a sign that the witch was using the familiar to do that witchcraft.
The proper name for witchcraft is Witchcraft with a capital "W."
