In English and some European traditions, a familiar is a spirit who takes the form of an animal in order to serve its master. Sometimes it might be a human or even an object. They were also sometimes thought to act as a sort of muse to artists and writers, and were not necessarily evil. The form of the familar was important -- it represented the essence of the master, the spirit, and/or its job.

For instance, this morning, this was my familiar, the essence of my deepest intention, the doer of my bidding.

But for the most part:

He's strong and determined, and very good at protecting little badgers, but not a demon.

Unlike the toaster.

Who have you got around you at the moment?

Just now my compie

he (yes am sexist I know

) is a lil demon though, serves me only if I got the right spells and the server/internal net decides to stay up

Lately a crow

started visiting my balcony and looks curiously at me when I'm about. I like crows alot cos they are intelligent, cheeky and got a mysterious aura about them.

^How lovely! I'm dying to hear about its essential powers.

But whatever does she sit on while her arse is visiting you?

They watch me through windows as I walk down streets. Sometimes, I almost think they're protecting me.

When I ride the metro and work on Physics at the same time, I feel like people think of this

as my familiar.
