I'm not sure if its just me assuming, but has anyone else seen someone and just had a feeling that they are witchy? I don't know how to explain it but most have a distinctive feel to them.

I would also like to mention not being understood or loved by humans but knowing there is something out there that loves and understands you and takes care of you, being misunderstood by people, others feeling intimidated, wanting to control you...I believe that means that you have a deep connection to what is not human...to spirit. I'm in my 40s and only now attempting to accept who I am. I would also like to mention seeing signs that tell you something about other people, seeing images in the natural world...I believe you are seeing tree spirits through your imagination. Now if the world would only make more space for this rather than destroying everything in the name of power and control.

Witches and Wizards will also associate themselves with those that they admire and ignore those that might bring them down. Just as they would with frequencies. They won't dwell in places or associate with people that contradict thier intention or powers.

i am a wiccan and im glad she posted that witches are just like anyone else.

[AstroMen]

The majority of witches and wizards are left handed while a few are right handed. Either way, they are very creative and have a psychic quality in them. Some can see images while others hear voices or sounds. The elements or forces of Nature tend to respond to them as if like gaurdian spirits. A large amount of them love Nature and are Earth worshipers. To them, the Earth is a living planet, along with the Sun Moon and other planets.

my mother practices this stuff. I didn't know much about it but i know it was evil. evil spirits would torment me during those years i lived with her. I was always scared to sleep. the second i moved out and into a christian home, i've felt so safe! I believe God allowed me to see that side because i probably would've foolishly followed my mothers footsteps if nothing bad happened. It was a terrible time of my life but I'm grateful I got to see the true evil that is witchcraft. these evil spirits can pretend to be good, so even a "good witch" can be fooled and not know the true spirits that they are talking to.

I have thought for years now that my grandmother is a witch. She's a Presbyterian of the Christianity religion but I truly think she's a natural born witch and doesn't know. Then, when I thought about her mother, I believe she was too.

There are too many signs. She loves nature, animals, lots of books for healing with natural remedies, herb garden, regular garden, oil lamps, stashes of birch bark, tons of candles, she even has several trees on her property that have medicinal uses like Spruce, Cedar and Pine and lastly, wild plants/weeds she let's grow wild in certain areas that have medicinal properties.

Essentially, the only thing she doesn't have I wand, at least, not that I've seen.

Her mother was about the same but she also had a lot of bells, one which I borrowed recently for cleansing negative energy in my home. That's what made me think about her.

I think people can see that everything is energy. We are all alchemists! The title “Witch” is confusing for me. When harnessing our God-given power, True magic is Love. Be the alchemist that you are! We are on the cusp of the Aquarian age, the age of truth. Peace, blessings, and protection for all. 💕💕💕

[sable]

I was always told by others I barely knew that I was a witch based off some my beliefs and conversations. I now found out they run in my family. I am looking into it all and I now know I am a witch.

My mother has always been into witchcraft and spirituality. I remember once as a child I had decided to try out this ritual I saw on the internet.
I had hidden myself behind the staircase, and set everything up. Halfway through the ‘ritual’ she came rushing in and started panicking at me ‘what the hell have you done ??’ I still have no idea how she knew what I was doing, and I don’t believe it was a ‘Mothers Instinct’. Over the next few weeks she had burnt a lot incense and would chant with me.
I’ve always seen things I cannot explain, especially as a child. I wish I could experience these things more often.

[AstroMen]

Some can see ghosts, others can hear them, but all can sence them one way or another. And like the living, they are not afraid of them unless the ghost appears to be malefic or hateful. Yet witches and wizards can understand them. Take the movie: A Haunting in Connecticut. People say thats a scary movie while witches and wizards claim it to be a sad story with a happy ending. (I cried to that movie)

[AstroMen]

Alot of witches and wizards can say alot without saying a word. They speak a language which all creatures speak, all crytals understand, and all plants can respond to. They are always aware of thier environment and always have a gut reaction to it along with time, space, matter, and energy. You can even say its "psychic" I prefer to call it divine observation and responce.

[gwenjohnson]

The Bible says there is no "good witch". PERIOD!

[CARPETMAN]

I've known quite a few witches and it's amazing how they delude themselves. They say I'm good and yet they join a coven and covens only have one purpose. To accomplish things that one person can accomplish on their own and like it or not that is usually something bad. One of my best friends in my life was a Satanist eventually he asked me some questions about my life and seem concerned that I wasn't judgmental of him and his life choices. He is no longer a Satanist but noticed my life and the fact that I try to do good two others and just live my life out in peace notice the effect that I had on other people and decided to mimic it. Last I heard he was studying to be a minister I don't think this says he's a good or a bad person but I do believe it says that he thought that he needed to move away from being a Satanist saying was being a good person to actually just being a good person. If you could be a good person and a Satanist he would have already done that but in order to become a good person he felt like he had to make a change and no point did I even asked him to make a change or push him toward it. Because I didn't do anything for him I was just living my life. But if you think you're going to live your life as a witch doing small manipulative things to those people around you and that's what witchcraft is manipulation you are wrong manipulation doesn't accomplish good things because the people aren't really making choices that are their own

I usually look for telltale signs, sometimes the very obvious symbolic ones, such as tattoos and adornments. Met a lot of very pleasant people this way, and have had great conversations. Then again, I'm also researching witches for a book I'm writing.

[mariahcraft]

I’m a witch, my family has some witches. ❤
Nobody would ever guess I am, I grew up in a small town. So witches were always assumed to be bad. So unfortunate!

[Vshokri]

Blessed be, And merry meet, and animal healing, interest in properties of herbs and stones, ... And the fact some cook potions, and some use heavy make ups, looks for these things.

[lynnvryett]

She makes it sound like everyone who talks about such things about helping animals, crystals, and helping others are obvious witches. "Hey, I grow herbs."
"Really? Then there's no SHADOW of a doubt YOU'RE a witch!"
"No uh...It's just a hobby of mine."
"...Oh..."
hahah.

[AdaDevoda]

:O Omg, when I talk in conversation I ALWAYS talk about healing, helping animals, crystals and their properties, not judging others and about life!

[Starlight_Silver]

I don't greet people that way except in writing, but then I don't really hang around any witches or attend pagan gatherings. I have had witches say that to me here and there, but not frequently. The easiest way to tell if someone is a witch is that they often wear pentacle jewelry or crystal jewelry, but with the crystals it can be difficult to tell a witch from a New Ager. Witches also usually wear more black clothing and sometimes go for the goth look.
