In this episode of Feed The Fairies, we welcome fellow fairy-firkler, Daniela Simina to the show for a discussion about familiars! Daniela grew up apprenticing to her grandmother, a traditional fairy seer, in Romania and is the author of the Pagan Portals book Where Fairies Meet, as well as the forthcoming A Fairy Path and Fairy Herbs for Fairy Magic (find out more here). Even better than all of those things though: Daniela is also the kind of person to fuck around and find out, and in case you hadn't noticed, we dig that around here!
And today, just as a special Halloween/Samhain treat, we're fucking around and finding out with a conversation about familiars. We talk about everything from some of the modern ideas we've seen floating around about familiars, the various kind of familiars mentioned in the early modern witch trial records (among other sources), the dynamics of witch/familiar relationships, witches and otherworldly hierarchies, main character syndrome, and some very important What Not To Dos.
What can I say? It's all going on in this one, folks! So, sit back, relax, and let us come in your ears for a couple of hours about familiars.
Oh, and definitely do not forget to feed the fairies.
