Hello! I actually understand 1ac if anyone needs help. The second part is something a witch's animal is known as.
I have answers for 12a and 8d but they don't make sense.
12a is Elderly relatives transfixed by Brussels body, one serving Europeans.
?o?c?a?e
8d is move fast, with bravery at last, daring to find source of spirit (6,6)
I think I have the second word (= bravery). The first: ?h???e
What I've put makes no sense at all. Thanks!
