Am I a Witch?

So, here we are, asking the all-important question: “Am I a witch?” You feel a little different, right? Maybe you find yourself irresistibly drawn to a witch’s altar supplies or enjoy lighting incense to change the vibe in your home. Perhaps you’ve been known to lean toward tarot or other forms of divination to get a glimpse of what the universe has in store. If the smell of burning sage bundles soothes you or different crystal jewelry somehow makes you feel better, you’re certainly not alone. And let’s not even start on your deep connection to the moon. If you relate to any of this, it’s possible you just might be a witch.

But don’t jump to conclusions just yet—being a witch isn’t some mystical destiny you’re forced into. It’s a path you choose. Sure, some people are born with a natural connection to witchcraft, with that ancient knowledge passed down through bloodlines, but anyone can dive in. So, the question isn’t about birthright. It’s about what feels right to you. Once you decide, I suggest reading occult books about witchcraft and related topics. Yes, you will probably need altar supplies and other things.

What Is a Witch?

Let’s clear up some confusion. A witch is, at its core, someone who uses energy—be it physical, spiritual, or metaphysical—to make things happen. You’re not some magical being who was just born with power (unless, of course, you’re a mythical creature, in which case, I’m jealous). Witchcraft is something you study, learn, and choose. It’s all about choice, remember?

And while there are countless types of witches, you don’t have to be a specific one to practice the Craft. Whether you’re into Wicca, paganism, or something else entirely, it’s about what aligns with your soul. Witchcraft is a path, and it’s yours to walk—if you want to.

Signs You Might Be

So, are you a witch? Here are some signs you might be. If you hate being stuck in crowds, you’re not alone. The energy in large groups can feel like a chaotic, swirling mess that leaves you drained. It might give you a headache or make you feel ill, but once you get some quiet time, you’re good again. If this sounds familiar, you’re probably more sensitive to energies than most.

Also, how’s your intuition? If it’s on point and guides you when you’re making decisions, that’s a witchy trait. We witches are all about that gut feeling. And if you’re drawn to the mysteries of life, like the other side, you might just have the witchy itch. We often feel a connection with those who have passed, sensing their presence through a thin veil between worlds. We also tend to feel at home in nature—whether it’s the woods, a garden, or just lying under the stars. Nature, to a witch, is home.

Physical Signs You Could Be a Witch

Let’s talk physical signs for a second. Sure, witches don’t wear neon signs, but there are some clues. For instance, if you tend to wear black more than other colors, it could be because black helps you draw energy for magical workings. But hey, it’s not like you don’t enjoy red or deep green when the mood strikes.

Witches are often drawn to silver over gold. Why? Because silver is connected to the moon, and as you might guess, the moon is a huge deal in witchcraft. Silver is soft, subtle, and reflective, while gold is, well, loud and flashy. It’s all about that quiet energy.

And let’s not forget your collection of oddities. Strange sticks, feathers, shells, or random stones? Yup, that’s witchy. You’ve probably accumulated these items because they feel right to you, as if they carry some kind of energy that you can tap into. The more witchy things you collect, the more you’ll realize they all connect you to the world around you.

More Clues You Could Be a Witch

Are you a people watcher? If you’re constantly observing your surroundings, noticing small details others miss, you might be a witch. Witches pay attention to everything—the sounds of nature, the textures of plants, the way the energy shifts in a room. We also know when to respect boundaries, sensing when someone needs space or when they need comfort.

If you’ve always been drawn to people who march to the beat of their own drum, you’re in good company. Witches find the most connection with those who are unique and unapologetically themselves. We’re not about blending in; we like the unusual.

And don’t even get me started on storms. If you feel an electric thrill from the thunder and rain, that’s another witchy sign. Storms are a reminder of the raw, untamed power of nature, and if you’re excited by them, you’re definitely vibing with that energy. The moon, too, feels like a spiritual companion. You’re not sure why, but when you catch sight of it, something deep inside you stirs. Witches and the moon? It’s a relationship that runs deep.

After Realizing “Am I a Witch?”

So, you’ve asked, “Am I a witch?” and found yourself nodding along to a few of these signs. Now what? Honestly, that’s up to you. If you want to dive deeper into witchcraft, there are many paths to explore. Whether you’re curious about Wicca, Celtic traditions, or Native American practices, start by researching. You don’t have to have all the answers now.

The next step is simple: study. Learn about the Craft. Read books. Take in knowledge. This journey doesn’t require you to rush. Don’t feel pressured to immediately start manifesting magic or conjuring spells—sometimes the best magic is in the quiet moments of discovery. The Craft is a journey, not a destination.

You could even connect with others on the same path, and if that feels right, explore formal initiation. Some witches treat it like a degree. But take your time. It’s your path to walk, after all.

So, Are You a Witch?

By now, you probably already know the answer to the burning question: “Am I a witch?” If you feel connected to nature, energies, and the mysteries of the universe, then—yes—you might just be a witch. The most important thing to remember? Witchcraft is a path you choose to walk, not a label others put on you. It’s about what feels right to your soul. So, if the Craft calls to you, follow the signs, take it slow, and most importantly—enjoy the magic. You might just be exactly where you’re meant to be
