How to get a familiar

Well then, is official. I do not know if they are only spirits out if they can be living animals. I've heard from a mod(I think) that it can be either, but yet again, I hear that it is only spiritual. What gives? Lol

It can be both. Personally I found a dark fairy and I also have a og. The physical dog helps me with picking the right offerings to certain deities and the fairy helps carry my messages to the other side.

Familiars don't have to be spiritual they can be physical.

Thank you so much everyone! I know it's a bit late to give my thanks but still all your posts were very helpful! Thanks!
