It is the Great Lord of the Fields and Fens, our God, that gives the knowledge of your Familiar spirit. There are many ways to have the great God reveal to you your Fetch-beast’s face, but I shall impart to you one of the best I know. It will be difficult, but so is anything that has value.
Begin by preparing yourself, and by making offering and prayers to The Horned One. You must ask him for this boon. In circlesteads, or at the base of great oaks, make invocations and leave offerings. Share the Houzle, and make petition for what it is you desire. Keep this up for many days.
Then withdraw yourself from the presence of people, and come to some deserted place, particularly a forest. You must not eat for an entire day and an entire night. Then, go into twilyte sleep, and do the crossing rite. Hallow a circlestead, invoke the presence of the Horned Master, and sit within it. Face north-ways, and meditate on your own personal character, and your own self. Continue this for a long while.
Then, you must enter into a great inner silence, of considerable time…not less that 2 hours. You must achieve a great feeling of “otherness”. At this time, do not think about the purpose of this rite…just let your feelings grow.
When you feel that the power is strong, invoke your Familiar thus:
“Fare thee forth, Cunning Puckerel
Come to me now
That there may be strength to our union
That I might increase in your power
By the power of the Old One
This must be! Ka!”
Make an offering of mead or ale at this point, by holding a cup of it up, and reciting a toast to the Horned Master, and your fetch-beast. Drain half of the cup in one sip, and pour the rest out on the ground in front of you.
Then, get comfortable, and begin to chant, over and over,
“Robin, Dark Master, send forth my fetch…”
And at this point become receptive, as you chant, and let the vision of the Puckerel rise in your mind’s eye. Be cautious! The puckerel’s animal form may appear in actuality, or maybe in a vision. But either way, be receptive with both sets of eyes. Allow the beast’s image to rise into your awareness. Do not make it, or choose for it to. You must not deceive yourself here. Allow it to come to you. Be passive.
When you sense it, whether or not you see it, attempt to communicate with it. You should be in a fine state of Twilyte sleep by this point. You may have the urge to lie down and recede further from the world. This is fine, as long as you stay aware. You may leave you body and find yourself somewhere else…this is good, too, because in these kinds of experiences the Fetch is often found.
Either way, try to communicate with it, and ask it for a name, or for any
information that it may have for you. From this point on, you are bound to it, and its natural species.
When the communion is complete, call it back to your inner self by saying “fetch fly back” or some other words. It will dwell in your chest, when you need it or when you summon it. The chest is the place sacred to them.
Say out loud “Consummatum Est!” and leave the site. Within a day, you should have a Houzle to honor the Puckerel, in which you worship it as your Cunning Ancestor and teacher, and as your companion, and you invite it to share in your life and power. Make many offerings to it, and to the Red Horned One, who makes these things possible. If you ever have need of the Familiar, and you certainly will, summon it with the Hex-Threads. It can aid in any work of Witchery, and in fact, it will make them twenty times more powerful. Pay
attention to it!
