In this FERAL episode, Allorah and Kitty meander into the world of witches' familiar spirits and magical pets. What is a familiar spirit, exactly? Is it really the modern idea of a familiar or something else entirely? We'll explore Medieval Witch Trial documents and hear some of the accused witches' confessions about their familiar spirits, as well as learn what the Bible has to say on familiars. And we'll debate whether a familiar can actually be a magical pet or not.
