Unicorn hair, a whimsical and mythical concept that has captured the imagination of many. This mystical mane, said to possess magical properties, has become a symbol of fantasy and enchantment. The allure of unicorn hair lies in its vibrant and iridescent hues, shimmering like a rainbow in the sunlight. Its soft and silky texture is believed to hold the power of transformation, allowing those who possess it to channel their inner magic. However, in the depths of the sea, a different kind of enchantress emerges – the sea witch. With her dark and mysterious powers, she harnesses the energy of the ocean to create her own version of unicorn hair.

In contrast to the vibrant colors of the mythical creature, the sea witch's hair radiates a dark and ethereal beauty. It shimmers with hints of seafoam green, midnight blue, and deepest black, reflecting the depths from which it originates.
What a Witch's Familiar Really Is
In this installment of Practical Magic, Lisa Stardust explains witches familiars—the pets psychically connected to their witches. Always remember that magic is for believers, but this column can also simply serve as a guide to getting in touch with yourself — magically or not.
The relationship between witches and familiars runs deep. Familiars (or imps) usually are small household pets that serve as a witch’s companion. According to legend, familiars are sort of like guides, who take the form of an animal on Earth. They are loyal guardians and protectors to witches, who are sent to assist them with magic.
According to The Hoodwitch Owner and Creative Director, Bri Luna, “Familiars are not just pets, they are our truest friends and confidants. They hear and see it all, they understand and know us better than we may even know ourselves.”
Familiars are psychically connected and can telepathically communicate with each other in times of need. Magic practitioner Nina Kahn felt this way about her hamster, Bagel. “[He] became a true familiar to me,” Nina says. "I adopted him in my late teens from a friend who could no longer care for him, and immediately felt bonded. I could easily read his emotions, and he communicated with me in so many different and meaningful ways.”
Bri adds that her cat “has protected me in more ways than one. His energy is calming and very soothing and he has very unique colored eyes (orange). Just looking at him, we both understand each other without ever using words. He knows all of my moods, he enjoys watching me do tarot— at one point he even pulled cards but now he just likes to sleep on them.”
Familiars are also healers and magical practitioners in their own way. Tarot reader, witch, and color magic practitioner Sarah Potter says that her cat, Polly, “psychically chatters to me all day long and sometimes even crashes my client Tarot sessions. Because of her good sense about people, her advice is always on point, too. Polly insists on being a part of every ritual. which is why I never keep her out of any magical work I am doing.”
Psychic Stephanie Ulrich (AKA “The Snake Channeler”) receives downloads from her snakes, which are known to be super intuitive creatures. Her snakes share pivotal insights about clients during readings. Stephanie translates the messages with her clients that the snakes are telling her and lets her clients know all the pertinent information that her snakes want to share.
So, how does a witch meet their familiar? Well, they just sort of find each other. They choose to be the other’s familiar, and enter a mutually beneficial relationship.
Tarot reader, host of This is Your Magic podcast, and author Michelle Tea met her cat serendipitously, after waiting for the right familiar to “choose” her. And, “it finally happened three years ago when my cat Birthday Rainbow walked into my house, laid down and never left.”
Witch, psychic, and host of The Glitter Cast podcast Renee Watt further explains, “there is a correlation between wishing for an animal companion and having it manifest for you in serendipitous ways. Dreaming about a pet or feeling as though it communicates with you in psychic ways are also indications that you've got a familiar by your side.”
Can any animal be a witch’s familiar? Sort of, yes! Insects, cats, mice, rats, toads, ravens, and dogs are traditionally familiars. However, it depends upon how the witch and the animal connect. Sometimes two spirits (that being the witch and the familiar) want to work together and find an affinity in each other. This means that it won’t matter who the spirit belongs to, as it’s a fated meeting that draws them together as one.
Every animal has its spiritual significance in the magical world. But if we're being real, many witches have cat familiars by their sides (the tropes are true!). The reason that most witches have cat familiars is simple: According to Bri, “cats have been long admired and revered as sacred from the days of the great goddess Bastet. They remember this information and their energy and presence offered is indicative of this.”
Remember all of this the next time you play with your pet. They are the gatekeepers, protectors of your magic, and will bring you clarity. Plus, they’ll prove their loyalty by never leaving your side.

Reviews for "Unicorn Hair: Transforming Your Look with Enchanting Colors"
1. Jessica - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with Unicorn Hair Doya Sea Witch. Firstly, the color did not turn out like it was advertised. It ended up being a dull and faded shade instead of the vibrant and bright color I was expecting. Additionally, the dye was extremely messy to work with. It stained everything it came into contact with, from my skin to my bathroom tiles. It was also difficult to apply evenly, resulting in patchy color. Overall, I was not happy with this product and would not recommend it.
2. Mike - 1 star - I cannot express how much I dislike Unicorn Hair Doya Sea Witch. The consistency of the dye was terrible; it was thick and gooey, making it a nightmare to apply. It was nearly impossible to evenly distribute the color throughout my hair, leading to an uneven and unattractive result. Furthermore, the dye stained my scalp and skin, and it was incredibly difficult to remove. I had to scrub vigorously to get rid of the stains, which was painful and time-consuming. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this product at all costs.
3. Samantha - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Unicorn Hair Doya Sea Witch, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The color did not turn out as vibrant as I had hoped, and it faded quickly after just a couple of washes. The dye also left my hair feeling dry and damaged, even with the provided conditioner. The scent of the dye was also quite overpowering and lingered in my hair for days. Overall, I was not impressed with this product and would not purchase it again.
