Some people think that you find witchcraft when you’re looking for something that you don’t have in your life. That thing you can’t describe but fits you perfectly once you seek it out. But I think witchcraft finds you. It puts things in place, runs books or titles across your phone, haunts you in your sleep and finally when you’ve had all you can take, you open the door. And it’s not scary, or strange, it just feels like it was right there the whole time.
If you’ve been called to practice magic, then chances are there were signs and signals long before you realized what the heck was even going on. Maybe you’ve dreamed about things before they happened, or maybe your empathic abilities were shining bright as a kid, bringing your moods up and down. We’ve probably all had one or more of these experiences. So read on to see, were you born a witch?
[This post is mostly just for fun… because we are really all natural witches]
You heard people talk in your head before they spoke aloud
Ever hear someone say something before they say it, just to announce the answer out loud and have them look at you like you shocked the Hell out of them? Then they swear they didn’t say it out loud. It’s because you heard it in your head first.
You knew something was going to happen just before it happened
Maybe it was just a gut feeling, or a heightened intuition, either way you called it, and it happened.
You got a sick or gross feeling around someone and later learned that person was trash
Everyone LOVES person X, but you always got a horrible vibe around them. Later on you hear that they did this really nasty thing, and you’re all like, I told you so. Boom.
You had dreams about things that didn’t happen yet
Dreamed of the house before you moved in, of a visit that didn’t happen yet, or a trip in the making. You are basically a walking psychic.
You had imaginary friends (ghosts) and talked to them as a child
You had all the friends. Only all the friends were dead. But that either didn’t bother you, OR you didn’t realize you were the only one playing dress up and tea with your dolls.
You could step into a room, and it could really bring you down if it was depressing or lift you up if the mood was right
Hop into a room or space, and you immediately pick up the vibe, good or bad, and it can really affect your mood. Sometimes for a while too.
When a song plays you really feel the lyrics
Maybe it’s not a pop song, but when the lyrics play the notes speak directly to your soul.
You are well liked by animals
Go to a friend’s house and her cats are all over you. Even your neighbor iguana sits on your lap. Animals know a witch when they see one.
You were drawn to natural things as a child like being outside, playing with rocks or bugs
You liked to play outside but it was overkill. Not only that, but you walked around barefoot, collected rocks or just felt the Earth over being inside anyway.
You never really felt like you belonged
There was always this eerie feeling that you didn’t belong. Now I know we all kinda feel that way but you’re particular, like something was missing…
You lived in your imagination and made up stories and could visualize them as a kid
Imagination was your jam. You always made up wild stories with vivid imagination and could see every single detail in all its glory.
You liked to read and could see the images play in your mind like a TV show
Reading is still your favorite hobby. And you can still play out every scene from all your favorite books in your head.
You said things about dead relatives to your family members that you have never met
You knew Great-Grandma had dark brown eyes and wore a pink cardigan to church even though you never met her, and she died 8 years before you were born.
You talked to trees and plants
Trees seem alive to you. You can feel their spirits and sometimes like to walk up to them and give them a high five.
You feel called to the ocean, rain or a specific element
The ocean is a special place for you. Its mystic energy pulls you in, and you can’t ever get enough.
You have a natural aversion to helping people
You always volunteered to babysit the class pet, help your friend move, or just be an ear when someone needed a cry.
People seem to tell you their darkest secrets for no reason
The grocery store checkout lady spills the tea on her divorce, or the lady you babysit for vents to you about a long stressful day at work. People seem to open up to you, and you don’t really know why.
Graveyards never bothered you
Maybe it just seemed more like a natural ending to things than a big scary end all. Either way even when you were a kid, visiting the cemetery was never even a thrill.
The moon has always been a big deal
Were you fascinated with the moon as a child? Spend nights staring at the stars? Or was astronomy your favorite subject?
