Warm greetings @maddy 😊 Welcome to the forum- thanks for your question! While I don’t personally use a familiar (a creature/demon bound by contract) in my practice, I know it is a subject that has come up quite a few times here in the forum. There are many witches who choose to call upon outside presences in their practice- from familiars to spirit/power animals, to guardian angles, to deities, and more! You can find some helpful advice about the difference between pets and familiars (as well as some tips about forming a contract with a familiar or connect with a spirit animal) in the following posts: → [Familiars and a Pet](https://forum.spells8.com/t/familiars-and-a-pet/2943) → [Familiar Spirits and Power Animals: What’s the Difference?](https://forum.spells8.com/t/familiar-spirits-and-power-animals-what-is-the-difference/587) → [How to Find Familiar/Spirit Animal?](https://forum.spells8.com/t/best-tips-on-how-to-find-your-familiar/1081) Good luck and blessed be, Maddy! 💖 ---

There’s a book that I’ve heard is good, called [The Witch’s Familiar](https://smile.amazon.com/Witchs-Familiar-Spiritual-Partnership-Successful/dp/0738703397/ref=sr_1_30?dchild=1&keywords=familiar+spirits&qid=1635766274&sr=8-30) by Raven Grimassi that explains just what a familiar is and how to get one. By the way, I’m Amethyst! LOL! Welcome to the forum! I hope to chat with you more soon! ---
