You feel as if you are not living the life of the person you were meant to be. You are drawn to… something. You can’t quite put your finger on it. Have you ever considered the possibility you were born to be a witch? Here are the telltale signs that you are a natural witch.
Being a witch doesn’t mean you have to practice witchcraft or curse people. You don’t have to announce to the world that you have now taken up the mantle of a witch. You could express it in the smallest of ways: become aware of the moon cycles, grow herbs, and begin to live a more natural, greener life. No one has to know that you are growing into the true expression of the real you: the witch that is desperate to emerge.
A witch, quite simply, is a wise woman. A woman in tune with the earth and her soul. She may have psychic abilities, or feel that the dead are existing close by on another plane. Dark places hold no fear, creatures of the night seem like friends. Animals and babies are drawn to her. A witch knows that the world is a crazy mix of positive and negative. Not black or white, but shades of gray. She does not accede easily to authority. She believes that everyone has the right to do as they want as long as they harm none.
15 Signs You’re a Witch
- You feel it. As you read the words above, you just knew the idea of being a witch resonates with you. It’s as if you suddenly tapped into a certain knowledge of who you really are.
- The idea of being a witch causes you to feel as if you are reclaiming your heritage. It’s a connection back through the female line, way back to your ancestors.
- You have a strong, well-developed intuition. You just know stuff. You follow your gut feelings and they are rarely wrong.
- You aren’t fazed by death. Those who have left their bodies are right here in spirit and have simply returned to be part of the whole, as we all are.
- Your femininity isn’t defined by fashion and trivialities. It wells from you like an inner strength. It’s not pretty.
- You know that your sexuality connects you to the cycles of the earth. Its raw power has an energy you can use. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.
- You believe in magic and things you cannot see. Energy can be manipulated and used for good as well as bad. You feel the energy pulse through and around you.
- You can neatly determine the atmosphere of any place or gathering. In certain places, you feel a connection as if you have been there before.
- You are attracted to the bizarre and fascinated by people who are different.
- You like to wear black and prefer your clothes to be made of natural fabrics.
- You like your food fresh, not processed. Processed food tastes dead.
- You understand that the deeds you do are returned to you, threefold. You believe in karmic law.
- People like to tell you things and share secrets, worries, and their inner thoughts.
- You prefer cats to dogs – mostly. You like all animals generally, it’s just that you admire the couldn’t-care-less attitude of cats.
- You like making connections between the past and present. You feel that the past is embedded deeply in your being. You feel the pain endured by your ancestors keenly. In fact, you may even experience unexplained flashbacks – from previous lives.
Now You Know You Are a Witch
So, you feel this extraordinary connection, this power within – what are you going to do with it?
You can connect with others like you. Witches love technology so the Internet is like a second home to them. Find groups of like-minded people, confess you are new at all this and you’ll be welcomed into the fold. If you are lucky, there may be a gathering (a moot) near you. Go along, you’ll be surprised how friendly people are there.
You can research. You can read about witchcraft (witches are renowned for their extensive collections of witchy books). You can teach yourself about the things that fascinate you.
Focus on one particular aspect of magical work. Perhaps you’d like to learn tarot or develop your healing skills.
You could decide to be a solitary witch. One who practices alone. Turn your home into a magical retreat. Create a witchy garden. Grow herbs. Make potions.

I for one hate technology and prefer solitude 🙂
Ok.. I need counsel.
I love all animals and most like me. I go fishing and I swear the kids seek me out, then proceed to talk my ear off.. (I can be in the middle of nowhere. No one would believe me except I left my husband on the other bank & the kid literally followed me all the way back..) or in a store and the next thing I know an elder is telling me their life story. Babies stare and smile. (I'm not much of a baby or kid person. So anyone that knows me finds it funny)
I've grown my own herbs for a few years now. And this year was the first time I've actually taken a vacation sort of speak.. And bam!!! Crystals & charkha.. Stones of all sorts like an addiction. Oh and the beautiful pendulums.. (stones that can speak!)
Return home and coincidence after coincidence hit me like a ton of rocks. Still a bit freaked.
Not quite sure what to do next. But do know that I need to be safe about it.
You are perfectly safe, Ann, you are simply being offered road signs along your journey. Children and animals are attracted to those with a clean, happy energy field. And you are drawn to crystals for the same reason. Carry on exactly as you are, remain open and the opportunities to explore further will present themselves to you.
Perhaps you could try doing some energy healing? Next time your husband has an achy neck, shoulder or back, just rest your hands lightly on or above him. If you feel the need to move them to manipulate the energy, then do so. Learn about energy healing, crystals and all that interesting, witchy stuff.
i am 14 yrs old but ive know stuff move stuff with mind and can tell you what ur thinking freaks people out and heard my mother was a witch but passed and i am half good and half evil
My abilities scare me a lot of times because they are on point. But for some crazy reason I attract other witches to me and want to be around me all the time and I have to cut them off to get rid of them because some of the things they say scare me..Why am I this magnet for witches that come around me and tell me they are witches..and then I find myself giving them weird advice to heal themselves or rid of evil spells and I don't know where it comes from I never studied or read witchcraft books..can someone help me with some insight please.
Vera, I suggest you begin doing some research. Real witches aren’t supposed to go around scaring people or offloading their mental health issues on to you. So get yourself a good book. Try anything by Lisa Chamberlain. If you make yourself aware of what witchcraft is, then you’ll be able to protect yourself against negativity.
I've always liked Tarot. I remember when we were little kids with my sister – we were always playing with the cards. At one point I actually seriously considered becoming a professional tarot reader, because all my friends asked for a the occasional reading. That dream, however, is on hold for a bit, as I recently went to receive an actual reading from a professional clairvoyant, which revealed that I still have a lot to learn. It's not as easy as I thought! But I will not give up, and you shouldn't either! There are plenty of free resources around the web that are constantly building my knowledge on how to read the cards properly. For the "hard facts", I use learntarot.com – a great website to start, and from there read a few books on Tarot… the rest is practice. A lot of practice! Of course, it's not just "reading the cards", you have to also employ your intuition. It greatly helps to go and get a reading from a professional Tarot reader, but that's not always a possibility, as renowned Tarot readers' fees are usually quite high (speaking from personal experience here). Not to fear! (self-promotion linked removed) Whatever you choose to use Tarot for, I am sure that you will find that it not only offers great insight for your everyday life, but the cards are also a great way to spend your time. Thanks for the great article, good luck and bless you all!
I dunno what i am, but have had abilites since childhood , as i grow older i have got stronger in all of them i can minuplate people things and good and bad angels if you know what i mean….i have used my abilties for good and bad…at a cost.. im flying blind just by doing what i want…i dont know where my power sources actually come from or where, a hand reader touched me got scared said i have nephilim blood and kept asking me to use me to do her ritual stuff with her, i worried about that so didn't. I can also heal people and animals. i get premonitions, i can sense others like me, i have power of seduction and i can astral project to people where they are by thought…too much crap to list… just looking for guidance what do with this.. i stand out like sore thumb can mingle in any crowd anywhere.
I just learned this weekend that my great-great grandmother was a practicing witch and that my grandmother was told by a psychic that she was burned at the stake in a past life. This new knowledge makes sense to me and now, suddenly, I am starting to understand why I am the way I am. Now I'm not just a weirdo. I have always been able to sense good or bad people or situations. I just know within a couple of minutes of meeting someone if they are good or bad and I've only had 1 or 2 slip under my radar.
When I was young, I could hear peoples thoughts. Not everyone, and not consistently. As I grew older, that ability faded, replaced with feeling people's loneliness and skin hunger. I'm not particularly beautiful, but men keep trying to own me. (doesn't work out well for them) it's like I bring ask their insecurity to the forefront, and then they accuse me of casting spells on them to make them obsessed with me. Lol, even if I knew that spell, by that point I just want then to go away.
I can manifest my reality, if the need is great enough. It is exhausting, and I think I'd break if I tried to do it too often. I can see outcomes, and know which path to choose to make that come to pass. I just have no drive, no passion, like I'm missing something vital
Hello so I’m new to this but ever since I was little I had this thing where I could sense someone was pregnant or I was able to see like a past life. As I got older it started to fade. I have this weird habit of collecting rocks that are pretty or unique I started doing it in high school. Also animals and kids like me. I could just be sitting and kids or animals go up to me. What could that mean? Or what should I do?
Ok so I didn’t put my real name because my family i christian so if they found out i was researching this they would think it was the devil or something. But i just want to know if i am possibly a witch or if all of this is even real. I definitely have a very strong connection to animals, they always seem to end up right next to me even when i dont call for them. Ive even had people comment on how much animals like me. Also i feel at home and almost free when im in nature, i cant explain it but i just do. Lastly i think ive had interactions with ghosts or whatever, because ive had things move without me touching them, my room is always colder than anywhere else in the house, and ive seen things and heard things in my room in the middle of the night when i wake up. Oh and also i have had several times when i have a dream about something and then it comes true, and i lucid dream a lot. Could thess things mean im a witch? Or am i just crazy??
Sweet Dixie, there are no evil witches. There are witches with bad intentions but not evil. I too can transform energy. Be careful that the negative energy does not consume you.
Hello evryone. This may sound strange, but I have had experiences that relate to witches. The wierd thing is I am a black guy. I have accelerated senses, I grew up with punk, skinhead, metal, goth and Industrial. I can heal myself with a touch. As another person posted, aminals and children always approach me. My dreams are lucid and very clear. I can hear movement. I guess I'm the oddball but I knew Wiccans back in the day.
I love cats. They are drawn to me as I am to them. We just get each other. I have healed so many and my veterinarian told me he never knew anyone like me who could make animals at death’ door live. I know when they are sick before there are any symptoms. I know what people think. I know everything my husband thinks and right now he is staying with me but he will leave me if his mother dies and leaves him her money. Otherwise, he will stay with me. I have known everyone who would be trouble for me as they were hired in my former middle management job. I hated it, by the way. I know everyone’s feelings and can really see right through just about everyone. This is a blessing and a curse. I want to pursue this and I want to make this a positive experience. I am a very positive person but I am riddled with anxiety, mostly if any of the animals I share my home with are sick. I have a chrinically I’ll 2 year old cat and I think about her most of the time. I have kept her very healthy and no one believes she is sick. Help me get on the right path. I believe birds tell me things and always have. Animals show me signs. I go to nature when I need an answer. They never let me down. Help me! I want to go further.
Okay so I love animals and they always love me….even if they don’t like me at first they warm up to me over a short amount of time….and babies and little kids are always talking to me or smiling at me….and I’m not much of a little kid person but I love babies….and I am attracted to crystals I personally find them very beautiful and if I could I would have a lot of them and with the words above I got this feeling like all of this describes me and I I’ve always been drawn to supernatural things and I believe in magic and. Things I can’t see…my friends think I’m weird but it’s just how I am. I love he weather but although I hate tornadoes but I love feeling the wind. I love looking at the moon and I feel attracted to it like it’s beautiful. My mother once told me that we have people in our family that were accused of witchcraft and either hanged or burned at the stake….she mentioned the Salem witch trials. She has never really been a fan of the super natural but I have….I have always loved the supernatural beings that I have heard stories about and I’ve never been scared of horror movies and stuff like that and I’m the only one in my family who isn’t, and for some reason I love to wear black clothes. I don’t think i have physic abilities but I have known myself to predict certain things like my friends brother got a job and I said he’s gonna get fired ….and not a month later I think….he got fired and I was like woah….and there have been other things I have somewhat predicted that I’m not going to speak of….and there are certain things that I just know and no one has to tell me, like I just know it and it’s weird cuz there’s information mostly about love or boys feelings that I just know. People do tend to tell me stuff and share secrets and I don’t know why…somebhave just come to me about their problems ….there’s probably more but I can’t remember
All that you speak of is very familiar. I had a substitute teacher who read my tarot, told me that I had “the gift” and gifted me a deck of tarot cards. I love all animals…actually picked up a raccoon that I accidentally hit with my car, laid it in the passenger seat next to me and drove him home. He kept looking at me on a dazed way…I just kept speaking to him in a soothing voice. When I got home, I walked around to the passenger door, picked him up and headed for the front porch. Halfway across the front yard, he jumped out of my arms and ran off. I’ve been told by so many how crazy I was to do that…that the raccoon could have viciously attacked me at any moment. I guess I wasn’t thinking about anything except that I’d hurt him and wanted to help. There are many other stories I can tell, but for now I will leave it at that and probably read a few of the books on your list. Thank you.
Do you have any advice for 14 year old witches? i know i am one, i have a clairvoyancy gift also and i have connected with everything you said. where do i start? what books could i read? What advice do you have?
Hello I'm Jackie I'm. Lost IV always know there something different about me iv learned alot an something there an I just can't pity finger on but reading the 25 signs an wow first let me tell u a little about my self my name is Jackie winglewich this the most crazy winglewich was passed down by the women in my family I could tell more if u like about it I'll can't get rid of for nothing crazy the crazy thing is I pasted it down 1 of my daughters that's a nother story IV live a amazing life crazy but u would like to think it's made me who I am an I live who I am things happen to me that is out of my control wild things I'm a dog person but what gets me the most is my birthday witch is 07/13/1979 an I was born on a Friday the 13th an my last name is winglewich can u please help me an tell me what u think it all mean s an finding a peaceful life
I have read all this and most applies to me- kids are SO attracted to me, I love crystals, cats, i have wanted an herb garden for a long time, the more time i spend indoors the sadder i get, and if i want something to happen that isn't tiny, it'll happen. I am that person who is always right, and gives great advice… And yet, I don't know if any of that really counts. Because, as much as i want to, i dont believe in the magical side of this, just the natural side. So i can only count myself as half witch. I'll say I'm a witch, but i guess i'll accept that 'witch' means something slightly different to me.
