Developing your intuition | One skill every witch needs

Today we are chatting about one of the main skills a witch needs to know and learn: Intuition.
We will cover what intuition means, how to know if your gut feeling is always right, how intuition develops, and what ways there are to strengthen your intuition. We shall also discuss how you can learn to trust your intuition and use it in everyday life as well as in your witchcraft practice and spellwork.
This video is part 1 of a mini-series for witchcraft beginners and advanced witches, that want to broaden their practice and horizon, discussing the often used term of intuition (you might have heard of intuitive witchcraft or reading tarot intuitively before). But of course, being the skeptical witch that I am, I will also be discussing it from a scientific, psychological aspect that hopefully is valuable to the muggles or other spiritual people too :)

As a trained nurse of 30 plus years I often would get a warning regarding a patients condition without any obvious reason. I and many other nurses use our intuition all the time and are usually right. I’ve never thought about it before but I think most healers use their gut feelings alongside the scientific training.

"grab yourself a snack and drink or start folding your laundry"

me, already sitting here with my snack and drink while folding laundry: "well apparently my intuition is pretty damn good!!"

My problem is that my ‘gut feeling’ I really indistinguishable from anxiety or silly worries. I get ‘gut feelings’ even when just going into my kitchen when it’s dark and there is never anything wrong. I find it very tricky to tell what is irrational fear and what is important. Edit: That being said, I have pretty good intuition for using herbs in witchcraft.

As an autistic witch with depression and anxiety this video is actually so so helpful. I've never been good with intuition but this video encourages me to keep trying

[DevonExplorer]

That was really interesting. :) Many years ago I was out with a new boyfriend and the thought came into my head that this man was going to hurt me badly one day. I brushed it aside but unfortunately, my gut feeling was right. I'd assumed that it meant a physical hurt, which I couldn't believe, but instead it was such a bad emotional roller coaster and I got badly burnt to the extent that I had a mental breakdown and needed counselling. After that I got into the habit of writing everything in my diary completely truthfully, no matter how shame-facedly, and that had the unexpected outcome of trusting myself completely. I haven't looked back since and my intuition has always been spot on, thankfully.
Interestingly, I remember reading that when Ted Bundy committed those terrible murders, there were some girls who got away and didn't get hurt. In each case they said they had a gut feeling that something was wrong and didn't get into his car. Just goes to show how important it is not to brush aside our feelings!
Thank you for another fab video, Bex. Cheers. :)

thank you for mentioning how neurodiversity and mental illness can affect things, and i'm extremely happy to hear you move on to say that stuff like that can be worked around and worked with. i haven't been into witchy content much till recently since the late 00s and those books used to be very ableist about the whole thing. you really brightened up my day with this!

In the fall of 2020, my husband was getting ready to go to mass and was going to take the kids along. I said "don't take them, y'know, b/c of the virus", my gut said something bad would happen. Not 10mins later he calls me to say he was in car accident and that leaving the kids behind was a good idea.

A month ago I was getting my sons ready for school and told my oldest to take his bike, it was already sunny and warm. Ordinarily I would've driven him along with his younger brother who is in Pre-K. My gut just said "he needs to ride his bike." On the way to taking my youngest I had a head-on collision on the passenger side, right where my oldest would've been sitting. I would be watching my goddaughter later that day and had my extra carseat in the back. When my son got home he was glad I made him ride his bike to school.

I always listen to my intuition. It comes with a feeling and a thought, "don't go there, " "take the red one, " "these things are linked." I used to have precognitive dreams most nights as well, but motherhood has changed my sleeping patterns.

One of my major complaints since my early teens has been receiving so much (often unrequested) advice from others that I can't hear my own mind. I've been working on making my intuition speak more loudly... and on paying closer attention to what it tells me.

[MarisasMoonlitCreations]

Hi Bex, you know I’m very scientifically inclined as well, but I always listen to my intuition. Every time I didn’t, the situation turned out for the worse. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. Sending warm greetings from Nyc xoxoxo 😊💕🌸

[RoseNewland]

I love how you incorporated science and logic into this! My father is a scientist and my mother a spiritualist so I grew up hearing these kinds of correlations. It really helps make sense of it for me. I love how down to earth and knowledgeable you are! I definitely have always been one to trust my gut. But can see instances in my life when past experiences have influenced that intuition.

[bernalove]

Oh, how many times have I NOT listened to my intuition and regretted it. I'm wiser now! Thanks for the intuition discussion!

[laura]

I can attest to depression dampening intuition, my thinking becomes very slow and muddled and I have a very difficult time making decisions and the smallest of tasks seem nearly insurmountable. Also anxiety makes it very difficult since I'm always afraid and can't really trust my own judgment there. Being mentally ill for me is being trapped in a prison of my own making where everything seems overwhelming and threatening and I'm just exhausted all the time no matter how much I do or do not sleep.

Ich bin Ergotherapeutin und eine Hexe und liebe dieses video! Danke dir 🥰♥️ bei meiner Arbeit mit Klienten benutze ich häufig meine Intuition 🤗 deine Videos sind sehr entspannend und interessant für mich ♥️🫶🏻✨

[mariachijazmin]

I’d say yea because of how I grew I didn’t listen to my intuition which was much stronger when I was a child. Finally had a spiritual awakening and now I’m getting in tune with my own intuition again:)

[Sailingvoodoochild]

Oh, wow, I caught that little part about some cannot remember their dreams. Thank you for helping me feel validated. I very rarely remember my dreams and I have aphantasia, I really suck at being a witch. 🤣🤣. I believe that is 1 reason I enjoy your channel more than others, it is more based on science and more aligned with my beliefs, thank you for being awesome.

I discovered Terry Pratchett over quarantine and am obsessed, with all of it, but very specifically the witches. So much of what Tiffany and Granny W talk about in regards to their practice rings so true for me.

[earthmamma]

You’re such an awesome, beautiful person. Thanks for all the tips, and information. Love from Missouri, USA

[deeh]

I loved this so much! I lost touch with my intuition over the course of my marriage, and have been slowly working on it since the divorce!
Thank you for breaking this down!

[notreallyhere]

My intuition used to be so sharp and on point! I always thought it was my superpower. Lately, it got so weak. I am very upset about it.

[weepingdruid]

Fantastic video, thank you!!💕I can’t count the amount of times I’ve ignored my intuition and then something happens. I really need to listen to it more often.
