You may be a natural born witch and not even know it! Many people are born with a lot of natural magical ability. Some people are aware of their ability, but many are not. There are many religions, such as Wicca that teach real magic in one form or another. However, you do not need to practice any particular religion in order to learn how to develop real magical ability. The first step is to determine your level of natural ability. The next step is to learn how to develop it and make the most of it.
Here’s a quiz to help you determine your level of natural magical ability. Answer the following questions to find out if you are a natural born witch:
Do your watches or clocks always seem to run either slow or fast?
Do electrical things seem to act strange around you?
If yes, is it more noticeable when you’re emotional or when discussing certain topics?
Have you ever just “known” something, even if there’s no rational way you could know it?
Have you ever had dreams that came true?
Have you ever “seen” other people’s past lives?
Do you have unusually good luck with certain things?
Do things seem to happen just because you want them to?
Do other people seem to do things because you want them to?
Do you often know what other people are thinking or feeling?
Do you often find a great parking space, even when a parking lot is full?
Do you often know who’s calling before you answer the phone or look at the caller ID unit?
Do other people seem to feel a need to touch you?
Are children and/or animals attracted to you?
Do people seem to fear you, or feel intimidated by you for no apparent reason?
Do you have a “green thumb”?
Did you have any kind of “imaginary” friends as a young child?
Have you ever seen or felt the presence of ghosts?
Do people seem to be either very attracted to you, or very repelled by you?
Do people seem to stare at you for no apparent reason?
How many “yes” answers did you have:
1-5 You have a small amount of natural ability
6-10 You have an average amount of natural ability
11-15 You have a very high degree of natural ability
16 -20 You are exceptionally gifted!
This survey does not determine how powerful of a witch you are and only is a guideline for assistance.
Natural witch characteristics are much disputed. Firstly some doubt the existence of them. Some disagree over what characteristics should indicate natural witchery and lastly some are of the opinion that they are irrelevant to the Craft given that it is mostly about study and practice anyway. However, I do believe that natural witch characteristics exist and, if spotted in someone who has not had the opportunity to learn about Wicca or witchcraft, can really open up possibilities to an individual that has a true calling in life. You have likely found this article as you are experiencing things around you that you cannot explain so I have put together some of what I believe are the strongest indicators to give you a guide of what to look for.
1) Some natural witch characteristics may not always strike you as being such at first as they are more often associated with the psychic realm. You may find that you get random predictions of the future come to you, strong senses of the feelings and thoughts of others and most commonly of all, psychic dreams. This can be a bit frightening at first as there is often no one to talk to this about and you will feel a little out of control. There is nothing necessarily unique to being a natural witch in this, but there will often be a strong trend for clairsentience.
2) Again in the psychic realm, you may find that you are a natural at divination techniques. Be they the tarot cards, runes or astrology, you will find yourself drawn to the energies given off by undertaking these practises and will be able to almost see the 'charge' surrounding the powers at work. This is an excellent way to becoming familiarised with the use of tools and to appreciate the value of cultivating a connection with them. This will stand you in good stead for using witchcraft tools during your spell or ritual work.
3) Another good indicator of natural witch characteristics being present is that it runs in families. It doesn't have to be in the immediate family however so it could include aunts/uncles, cousins and of course long gone relatives. If it does run in your family, it will of course be easier for you to understand what is happening and you are likely to find your true path at an earlier age.
4) Another natural witch characteristic that I put a lot of stock in is being affected by moon cycles. Natural witches will often find themselves restless and excitable leading up to, and including, a full moon before they learn to recognise this for what it is. When they are on their path to learning the Craft this will start to make more sense and it will become an energy that the natural witch can channel and put to good use!
5) Natural witches are often drawn to either the sea, gardening or both. It is a love of nature and of feeling quite at home and in yet awe of its power. You may also find that not only do you have an affinity with nature but can work exceptionally well with it.
6) Another natural witch characteristic is to be drawn to animals and to be at home in their company. You may feel that you naturally understand what they are trying to communicate or it may be that you identify with their connection to the world around them and the way in which they've adapted to their environment. You too will be resourceful and unafraid of nature but will also be able to sense danger approaching in the same instinctive way that animals can. You will almost be able to feel it in the air. Many witches and warlocks go on to choose their name on the basis of their close alikeness to a particular animal, feeling they share similar traits.
7) You may not have started to experiment with any spell work as yet, but a strong sign of natural witchery is to be an intuitive worker. You will have seen this in they way you have felt all through your life, be it school or your job. The natural witch will have an instinct on how something should be done that is apart from thought processes and certainly doesn't take the shape of words or logic. It just comes to you and you instantly know what you want to do. Some have even described this instinct as like another limb that you can flex at will. From this follows a very independent personality type and you may even prefer working alone. This is not because you are incapable of working in a team (and you may rediscover the joys of this if you join a coven of like-minded people) but simply because you find it more effective to follow your heart and get the job done your way!
8) The last natural witch characteristic I will include is the tendency to be able to channel healing energies. Your touch can be very soothing and comforting to others in need and if you chose to develop this skill, you may be able to work in psychic healing. I feel that this can often come from a very resilient part of the natural witch's disposition. Having the strength to fend off life's trials, you have an abundance of energy left to share and can offer this to others in their time of need.
