Most witches' familiars are remnants of the holy animals of pagan deities, demonized as people continued practicing pre-Christian folk magic and religion. Cats, for example, are holy to the Nordic "witch goddess" Freyja, and Egyptian Bast. #FairytaleTuesday 🖼: D. Zemba
A depiction by D Zemba of Freyja's chariot being driven by two massive tabby cats, with three things of stained knotted windows: one is behind Freyja like a halo, the left one showing a boar and bird in a field, the right one showing the remains of a battle.

Legend has it that those who favorite/like this picture will be visited by the Candy Witch on Halloween. Image by Emmy Cicierega.
A woman in a purple dress and witches’ hat with long brown hair sits side saddle on a flying broom. She uses a wooden wand to cast a spell that causes a shower of Halloween candy to appear from small explosion in air. She has a gentle but knowing smile on her face and to her immediate left is a white owl perched on her broom who appears to be startled. The image seems to radiate magic.

Necromancy is fairly common practice in Nordic myth and folklore, at times involving völva like Gróa, offering her expertise to her son Svipdag should he ever need it, even after her death. Moms: not even death can stop their love. #WyrdWednesday 🖼️: W.G. Collingwood
W.G. Collingwood's depiction of Svipdag listening to his mother Groa giving prophecy and he listens intently; she looks intently as fire rises and smoke surrounds her. All in classy black and white.

Necromancy is today the dark art of raising the dead, and while that has always been true, prior to the Enlightenment necromancy was a specific type of raising: raising spirits or the bodies they were bound to in order to speak with the dead. #WyrdWednesday 🖼: S. Rosa
Salvator Rosa's depiction of the Witch of Endor summoning Samuel's spirit; Saul and his sons cower on the floor, while the old woman, strangely nude except for her half-worn wind-swept toga, rubs some herbs while Samuel looks judgmentally at Saul. Demons surround her in the wind, looking like animal skulls and birds.
