Signs You’re A Witch

1. You are tuned in to the earth

Image source/ devianartDo you feel at one with the earth and with nature? Witches belong to the earth and have a particular connection to the earth and the nature around them. Witches are born from nature and so you will feel as though you are intertwined with the earth around you.

2. You are influenced by the moon

Image source/ riseofthelanetsWitches are creatures of the moon. Do you feel a powerful sensation when you gaze at the moon or feel influenced by the pull of the moon? You may feel like your body is aligned with the moon's cycle and the beauty of the moon will completely mesmerize you.

3. Are you intrigued by natural forces?

Image source/ natureforceDoes everything to do with the universe, the stars for example, and the workings of the world intrigue you? This could be a sign you are really a witch. You may crave deeper knowledge about the earth pr the universe and want to deep into the depths of its knowledge.

4. You are wise and seek more wisdom

Image source/ BBCWitches are very wise beings. But they also recognise there is always so much more wisdom to be sought. Do you have a deep wisdom which you yearn to keep testing and to keep stretching your knowledge? This may well be a sign that you are really a witch.

5. You adore nature

Image source/ woodlandpicsEverything about nature feels like home to you. When you see the sea, you feel a pull towards it. When you see a forest, you want to be in the depths of it. And when you see hills and mountains you years to be on the top. This is how it feels to be a witch...

6. And you are emotionally linked to it

Image source/ naturesfinestIf you are a witch not only, will you love it, but you will feel an emotional connection or even a spiritual connection to the sea, to the trees, to all things nature. It will feel like you are interlinked with nature so that you are filled with a powerful emotional connection to it.

7. You have a connection with animals

Image source/ PinterestWitches love animals...and animals love witches. If you have a connection with animals that seems beyond the average, it could be a signal that you are a witch. Perhaps they come to you out of everyone, and you feel that you have a deeper connection and understanding with them.

8. You feel powerful

Image source/ supercolorWitches are, of course, powerful beings. Do you have an inner belief or a feeling that you are powerful? That you could make things happen if you wished to? Perhaps you feel an inner strength or power that exceeds your physical body or physical capacity.

9. You are an old soul

Image source/ deviantartWitches have been around for centuries and centuries, they also have a powerful connection to one another that transcends life and death.  So, if you are a witch, you may feel as though you have experiences or knowledge which extends your own life and experiences.

10. You have a talent for healing

Image source/ effortfreePerhaps you feel pulled towards the vocation of healing or you feel as though you have an ability to heal or to help people heal or even to nurture. This could well be a sign that you are really a witch, and you are blessed with a natural sense of healing.

11. You have inner peace

Image source/ PinterestWhen you are a witch, you may feel as though you have a kind of inner peace. You enjoy your own time and are very happy alone and comfortable with silence. You may feel very comfortable in yourself and feel certain about who you are and what you stand for.

12. You do not feel as though you are the same as other people

Image source/ picpediaBeing different from everybody else is far from a bad thing. And, if you are a witch then it probably feels like at times you are not the same as everyone else you know, perhaps you even feel as though you are slightly on the edge of society - an outsider.

13. You are fascinated by death

Image source/ ITworldDo you have a fascination with death? Perhaps unusually so. Or a sense of intrigue about what happens after death. If you are a witch, you may be much more interested in this subject and feel a draw to know about it, to discuss it or to spend your time pondering death.

14. Your energy comes from yourself and nature

Image source/ PinterestAs a witch, your energy will come from yourself as well as nature. If you are a witch, you probably collect energy from the earth and are charged by the power of the earth. Most likely, you're an introvert and so you keep up your energy stores through your alone time, rather than from other people.

15. You enjoy collecting things

Image source/ theogmCollecting things can be a habit of a witch, whether it is collecting interesting buttons or shells from the beach. They often enjoy creating different collections from things that stir interest inside them or are perhaps sentimental for one reason or another.

16. You believe in magic

Image source/ blog.grantedNow of course, as a witch, you HAVE to believe in magic. After all, a witch contains a magic of their own. It may not in such an obvious way or the kind of way we see on movies. But magic can occur in all different kinds of way. But it is very important to believe if you are a witch.

17. You rely on your intuition

Image source/ Northern Territory NewsIntuition as a witch, is second nature. The intuition of a witch is super string and will guide them on their path, telling them who to trust, or what is the right thing to do. This is why the saying listen to your gut is so important. Sometimes intuition is the best advice you can listen to.

18. Your dreams tell you things

Image source/ PinterestSome people have very strong or vivid dreams. But they may not be random. They may tell your things - things which are about to happen, or perhaps your dream will involve something that has already happened and shed some kind of new light on the situation.

19. You believe in the art of divination

Image source/ forbesOf course, divination, is a witches art. And, if you are a witch, you will find that you have a real talent for divination, prediction or seeing the future. Maybe you can read tarot cards. Or maybe you can gaze into a crystal ball. Maybe you even just have a very strong sense.

20. You've had supernatural experiences

Image source/ Early to riseNot everybody believes in the supernatural. But until you have your own supernatural experience it can be easy to dismiss. As a witch, you may have noticed that you have experienced a few. It could be anything. Maybe ghosts, or objects moving, or a strange sensation that someone is with you...

21. You are constantly curious

Image source/ lifemagCuriosity is a great thing, to question things means that you are always open to learning new things and changing your perspective. It can lead to you having a very open mind. Witches are inherently curious about life...about people...about experiences.

22. You are interested in history

Image source/ awesomejournalWitches have a deep interest and sense of history as we have previously mentioned. And witches are deeply interested in where they came from historically and the different context of witches, as well as a thirst for historical knowledge in general...

23. You may feel a pull to return 'home'

Image source/ pillaicenterWitched often feel a strange sensation that they want or need to return home. However, this home is an otherworldly part. It may be somewhere they've lived in the past. Or somewhere in the stars. There is always this feeling that they belong somewhere out there.

24. You have physical characteristics akin with witches

Image source/ astrologyblogNow, we are not talking about the green warty witches you see on movies. That is not what being a witch means. But you may have certain marks and symbols on your bodies, for example a cool shaped birthmark. Perhaps it is a symbol belonging to the witches.

25. You experience visions

Image source/ PinterestDo you ever experience strange visions? Perhaps these visions you have are very clear. Or perhaps you cannot even make out what is happening in them. But this is something that witches experience. It may be a flashback from the past or it could be a message or a future vision.

26. You are highly empathetic

Image source/ healthlineWitches are highly empathetic, more so than on average. They are very tuned in to other people's emotions and have a very high emotional intelligence. This makes a witch a very good friend who will always know what you need at the right time. But it can be very emotionally tiring.

27. You are interested in astrology

Image source/ fineartamericaIt makes sense that as a witch, you would be highly interested in astrology. So, if you have a burning desire for and to learn astrology, or you seem to have a natural talent for astrology, this amongst other things can be a sign that you really are a witch.

28. You hate crowds

Image source/ stantolerAs we have seen previously, witches enjoy time alone and being alone. So, it makes sense, that witch's hat being in crowds. It can interfere with their sensitive energies and very finely tuned connections to the earth around them when there are too many people.

29. You are more affected by toxins

Image source/ citywireToxins are present in lots of things, processed foods, alcohol, junk food... They are everywhere in today's world. If you feel as though toxins affect you more than other people, as though your body does not agree with it. This is because a witch is very connected with nature and their body's do not react well with toxins.

30. You FEEL like a witch

Image source/ PinterestOften, deep down we know things. Especially when it comes to ourselves. So, if you feel like a witch - who's to say you aren't. It probably means that you ARE a witch. We know ourselves better than anybody else. So, if your gut feeling tells you, you are a witch...then you are a witch.

31. Halloween Is Your Favourite Season

Image Source / WikipediaThis doesn't have anything to do with the gimmick of dressing up as a witch (though of course there's nothing wrong with that), this is more to do with the veil between worlds being thinnest during Halloween - which means you might be naturally drawn to this time.

32. You Have A Pet

Image Source / WikipediaWitches often have familiars (but not always), and traditionally they were seen as supernatural entities that would help a witch do her bidding. Of course, in modern day, it may just be that you have a cat, dog or any other pet that you feel a great connection with.

33. You Do Tarot Readings

Image Source / WikipediaTarot readings and witchcraft are not the same thing, so not all tarot readers relate to witchcraft - but those attuned to being a witch are likely to also be drawn to the tarot, too, as a way of exploring answers and deeper meaning behind things. Tarot can be done alone, too, so it doesn't have to be readings for others.

34. You're Drawn To Crystals

Image Source / WikipediaAgain, it isn't that people who like crystals or use tarot are automatically witches, it's more that understanding and collecting crystals might be because you're attuned to their natural healing properties and enjoy learning more about the natural world.

35. You Meditate

Image Source / WikipediaIn this day and age, meditation is a key tool to help people relax and focus. For some people - such as witches - it can also be a great way to help clear the mind, relax and focus on grounding themselves, such as before rituals or spellwork.

36. You Have A Deep Love And Appreciation For Everything

Image Source / WikipediaThis doesn't mean you have to like everything and every one, it just means that you have a big heart and can open it up (as well as your mind) to everything going on around you. It means you can be more aware and appreciative of daily life, whether that's respect towards the environment, or people - or both!

37. You Have A Connection With The Dead

Image Source / WikipediaThis isn't anything to do with Ouija boards or being able to talk to ghosts, it's more to do with your connection on a different level. Some people may be aware of certain smells or sensations around them, or maybe feel like they've received signs in dreams.

38. You Follow Moon Cycles

Image Source / WikipediaWe've already mentioned the connection to the moon, but how meticulous are you about following moon cycles? Maybe you have a map, or chart out all the cycles, taking notes and never wanting to miss what's going on. You may notice your moods shifting with these cycles, too.

39. You Keep A Journal

Image Source / WikipediaJournaling is a unique experience, and for this reason, witches and non-witches may do it differently - or even not at all! But if you're someone who likes to note everything down and keep journals, it could also relate to witches liking to keep grimoires or notes about their herbs, crystals or anything else.

40. You Try To Live Naturally

Image Source / WikipediaYou make a conscious effort to try and get all natural ingredients, such as essential oils, growing your own herbs and shopping locally and from environmentally-friendly shops. You may also try to avoid materialism as much as possible and try to put focus on what's important.

41. ... And You Love It!

Image Source / Becoming MinimalistFor some people, natural living can be a choice but a difficult one. Someone might make sure to live naturally and in an environmentally-friendly way, but not particularly enjoy it. But for you, you love it - you have a passion for it, and it's something you enjoy.

42. You're Drawn To Helping Or Healing

Image Source / WikipediaYou may feel a natural want and need to help someone in need. You may do what you can on a daily basis to heal others, whether actually through something you try like healing crystals, or simply through talking and listening. You feel like this is a calling for you.

43. And This Might Apply To Your Career, Too

Image Source / WikipediaHelping, healing and witchcraft don't have to be pastimes or hobbies - it can all translate to what you choose to do as a career, too. You might put your natural gifts to good use by going into the medicine or healthcare field, or maybe counselling or social work.

44. You Feel A Change With Every Season

Image Source / Simple WikipediaSeasons are all amazing in their own individual ways - we all have our favourites, but there's no denying they're each beautiful for different reasons. You might be particularly attuned to each season, and specifically the changes in season. You're extra-aware about the seasonal changes, and may even experience mood changes to go along with it.

45. Children And Animals Are Drawn To You

Image Source / WikipediaHopefully you're a fan of children and animals, because this would be a shame if you weren't! Children and animals have very innocent minds and more 'pure' thought patterns in terms of seeing it and saying it like it is. So if an animal or kid is taking an extra-special interest in you, it might be on a deeper, spiritual level.

46. You Love And Respect The Darkness

Image Source / Times of IndiaNo, we don't mean the band (although that's fine too), we mean the actual darkness. In witchcraft, this all depends on your beliefs of white/black magic and good/dark magic. It doesn't mean you practice dark magic, but you can have an appreciation for it, as well as respect and fear.

47. You're Very Drawn To The Elements

Image Source / The Singapore Women's WeeklyEarth, air, fire and water - you may have a favourite, or be drawn to all of them. Elements are vital to nature, and when you're someone naturally drawn to nature anyway, the elements will likely draw you, too. When you're connected to a single element in particular, you just have a gut instinct over that connection and it makes you feel better for being around it.

48. You're Superstitious

Image Source / Simple WikipediaIt doesn't have to be to the extreme, but it could be little everyday things, like tapping on wood, not putting new shoes on the table, or not walking underneath a ladder. You feel like you don't want to mess around with those superstitious forces out of your control.

49. You Feel A Bit Weird Around Mirrors

Image Source / WikipediaThis isn't because of some body image issue, but more because of them believed to be portals or doorways to other dimensions. Especially at night, you might find yourself covering up mirrors in your bedroom because they make you feel uncomfortable - like someone is looking back at you from a different plane...

50. The Paranormal And Supernatural Are Your Biggest Interests

Image Source / WikipediaIf you're all up in that paranormal stuff, fascinated by the supernatural and spend your time learning more about myths and legends through books and TV shows, as well as your own research, it's obviously an important pull for you.

51. You Love Storms

52. You Dress In Dark Colours

Image source / Cats.orgBlack has always been the ancient symbol of the mysterious female and the tradition of wearing grey is linked to wisdom.  Your wardrobe cries out these two colours and you feel most comfortable in them, as if they are an extension of you.

53. Past Life Memories

Image source The Epoch TimesYou sometimes feel scarred for being different and you are aware you may well be as you may have memories or images of being cast out, drowned or burned, all because you are wise and wild.  You don't conform to the masses as it goes against your beliefs.

To you it's not a coincidence. You seem to know things intuitively.

55. You May Have Ancestors Who Were Healers Or Medical Herbalists

Image source / Herbal AcademyMany cultures believe that the gift of being a white witch can only be inherited, passed down through several generations.  In today's world, it's difficult to know whether our ancestors had those powers as many of them may have kept them quiet for fear of retribution.

56. You Feel Called To Help Others

Image source / VoxYou feel fuelled by compassion and often find yourself offering to serve others. From helping with a task or being a shoulder to lean on, you are a sincere helper. Occasionally, you may be too quick to put other people's needs before your own but you have an impulse to give love and support.

57. You Are An Introvert

Image source Peter HaasWhite witches can be multi-dimensional beings so if you are of the white witch archetype, you may have a difficult time navigating the 3D realms.  This could cause you to withdraw into yourself in order to try to visit the realms of consciousness you feel most comfortable in.

58. Your Energy Is Positive

59. You Hear Voices

Image source / Medical News TodayYou think you hear voices and whispering although there is no one around.  You've ruled out any mental disorders so you feel confident you have a clear hearing (clairaudience) gift.  You know it's up to you to decide whether you want to develop or shut down this ability.

60. You Capture People’s Vibes Instantly

65. You Could Be Divorced Or Widowed

Image source / Which.co.ukIf you were widowed or divorced during the witch trials, you would be more likely to be accused of being a witch.

66. You Believe In Ghosts

68. You Are Left Handed

71. You Have Lots Of Candles

Image source / Heater TipsYou may feel uncomfortable with visitors to your home as they may be judgemental as they look around.  You always light candles, lots of them,  for positive energy.  Many years ago, tall pillars would have held candles but you tend to light yours in glass holders.

72. You Grow Herbs
