In European folklore and folk-belief from Medieval and Early Modern periods, familiars were supernatural entities believed to assist witches and cunning folk in their magical practices. They appeared in various forms, often as animals or humanoids, vividly described by those who claimed to encounter them.
Whether serving witches or cunning folk, familiars were perceived differently, with some seen as malevolent and others as benevolent. Familiars were thought to provide protection as witches embraced their powers.
In the 20th century, magical practitioners, including Wiccans, incorporated the concept of familiars. While this charm connects to historical magic, its contemporary use reflects a nod to the Neopagan traditions.
It's essential to note that this item is 100% sterling silver, susceptible to tarnishing, a natural occurrence with silver. Tarnish may result from factors such as acidic perspiration or contact with chemicals like perfume or cleaning products.
Please consider removing the charm before bathing or swimming.
