-- Mat Auryn, best-selling author of Psychic Witch, Mastering Magick, and The Psychic Art of Tarot

"Madame Pamita has given us an in-depth look on how to benefit and learn from our animal familiars. From a historical viewpoint all the way to our current disconnect with animals, she gently teaches us what is, and what is not, a familiar, as well as how to find and commune with your own. Included are spells and recipes for many different needs, sections on how to use animal offerings, and guidance on how to exchange energy with your familiar. I highly recommend The Witch's Guide to Animal Familiars to anyone who wishes to experience the joy and challenges of working with a familiar, whether wild or domesticated. I truly believe this book will take your magickal practice to the next level."
-- Christine Cunningham Ashworth, author of Scott Cunningham: The Path Taken

"Madame Pamita offers readers the gift of better acquainting ourselves with the other-than-human beings with whom we share the planet. This love letter to the animal and insect realms offers so much to everyone--not only those building a magical practice. You'll find animal history, behavior, and lore; traditional healing ways, regional superstitions, and folk beliefs; and fairy tales and mythology, not to mention many creative magical rituals. For anyone longing for a loving bond with nature, here you will find a path to that sacred place, strewn with beauty, to inspire a truly enchanting connection with the natural world."
-- Deatra Cohen, herbalist and co-author of Ashkenazi Herbalism

"Madame Pamita invites you to talk with the animals, walk with the animals, and commune with them. Animal familiars are a blessing, and Pamita addresses them as such. She'll teach you how to curate relationships with your familiars and even how to call on them for assistance. She offers warm advice and skillful spells to help your bond with your familiar become as easy as breathing."
-- Melissa Cynova, author of Kitchen Table Tarot and co-host of Cardslingers Coast to Coast podcast

"Madame Pamita's The Witch's Guide to Animal Familiars explores a wide range of the possible kinds of relationships, partnerships, encounters, friendships, and more that are possible when working with animals and animal spirits on this plane and others. She also gives excellent guidance on how to attract, approach, and commune with these wonderful beings. The book offers useful directions for working with insects, amphibians, reptiles, and fish, which are often underrepresented in this work. Most important, The Witch's Guide to Animal Familiars has a consistently deep-hearted and respectful perspective on the beauty of collaboration with our animal kin."
-- Ivo Dominguez Jr., author of The Four Elements of the Wise
