Modern-day witches are a very real thing and just as some people see religious signs and symbols which draw them to certain religions, the same goes with witches. Having done a ton of research about modern-day witches my eyes have been opened to a whole new world. I found a world of peace, kindness and support. Most of us know that modern-day witches exist but how did they know that they are witches and how can you tell if you are one? I have compiled a list out of all the research I have done. Looking at this list I think it is safe to say that nearly every woman in my family might be a witch.
So without wasting any more of your time with boring introductory mambo-jumbo, here is how to tell if you are a witch:
You read emotions very well
Can you walk into a room and immediately sense what has just happened or what is about to happen? This is a very strong indicator that you might be a witch. Not only are you able to accurately read the emotions around you but you are able to sense the emotions of people you might not even have seen for weeks. The overpowering sensation that you need to phone your friend because you just know she is crying. You can read the emotions of everyone around you and sometimes, this can help you predict what they might say next.
You feel energy
Now this doesn’t just mean that you can feel the difference between temperature changes. I am referring to a buzzing in your hands and feet, feelings of fingers pressing against your back, buzzing sounds in your ears. Sometimes a flock of butterflies flutters from the soles of your feet out the top of your head. Over time ,this is energy that you can learn to read and use.
You need nature
Nature solves all of your problems. Feeling down? A walk will sort you out. Had a tough day? That’s nothing a trip to the beach can’t solve. Having marital problems? A hike through the forest might change your mind. If nature is all you need to be at peace then you might be a witch.
You’re a collector
You are a collector of the odd and arbitrary. As a witch you might find yourself collecting pebbles, feathers, leaves, shells, unusual objects, anything old and cats.
You are extremely observant
Walking into a full room of people and you see the dancing, you hear the music, but you also notice the angle of the one lady’s head as she enters the bathroom. It is odd, maybe something is wrong. You saw the bartender secretly brush away the cockroach as you walked past and you definitely noticed the way the music gets one notch louder every 3 minutes.
Weather
The vibrant force of nature makes you want to jump up and down with glee. You adore a thunderstorm and the ocean is best when it crashes at its loudest. Even the most subtle change in weather makes you feel like the world makes sense. You don’t particularly have a favourite season because each comes with something special that you love.
Strong Intuition
Your intuition is hardly ever wrong. And the feelings are nauseatingly strong. The overpowering sensation that you must not turn this corner now. This is your witchy intuition giving you advice and I strongly suggest that you listen to it.
Bizarre Attraction
The bizarre attracts you and peculiar or different people fascinate you. You tend to surround yourself with people who have strange jobs and unusual hobbies. Often you aren’t even sure how you met these people; they sort of just came into your life.
Femininity
For this I will use a quote that perfectly describes it.
“Your femininity isn’t defined by fashion and trivialities. It wells from you like an inner strength. It’s not pretty.” – psychicelements.com
Having most of these traits could mean that you are a witch and, if interested, you can learn to work with them. However, at the end of the day you can choose who you want to be. After watching witches talk about finding their paths and after reading countless interviews it is evident that witches are drawn to becoming witches from when they are young.
It is something they have always known about themselves and I have learned that not all witches have the courage to wear the tag openly. Witches are nothing to be afraid of; they are not evil, not mad and aren’t going to hurt you. They just see a different way of life and choose to rejoice in living that way.
On a more personal note, the first time I met a witch I was 15. We immediately hit it off and from that day I just found myself surrounded by more witches. Entirely by chance, witches were attracted to me and I was attracted to them. If you were to ask anybody in my family they will tell you that I have always been attracted to darker arts etc. It can be really difficult coming out as a witch because witches are so misunderstood. Very few people take witches seriously because it is not something that is taught to younger generations and the media has witches depicted the worst way. Now, I have a group of witches that I can talk to and have discussions with. It is a happy place. Although I am sure the people around me probably could have guessed this a while ago already, I am a witch. I am coming out of the broom closet.
If you are a witch and are struggling to come out about it, I found this video that can help you through it:
Also, keep your eyes peeled for I will be uploading a video about my journey of discovering my witchyness.
Peace Out Witches.
A very special THANK YOU to my editor: Theo Ledwaba. This post would have been terrible without your help.
