How does one know if they are a natural born witch?

[Hina Munir]

Hello all! As stated above, I'd like to know the signs that someone is a natural witch. I've always been curious

Thank you!!

[Gerhard Botha]

I would say if the person have a long crochet nose, bad skin, have a black cat as a pet, fly on a broom, is all good signs, that person is a natural born witch

Hello Hina.

Yes, I see Gerhard has joked about this but having 'met' you before I know you are asking a serious question. 

Before offering an answer, can you please explain something about what has caused you to ask this question; perhaps you could give your definition, your understanding of who or what is a witch. You say you are curious but I think there is more to it than that. 

If there is some aspect of this that you would prefer not to discuss on the forum, remember you can send a Private Message. If you send me a PM it will be seen only by me and the administrators (who have to be aware of such message traffic.)

Over to you, Hina.

Hello Hina,
I've just picked up this post, I'm not on the site too often. 
Your question depends on your definition of 'Witch'. Traditionally Witches were wise women who knew about herbs and nature. Some of them made connections in the otherworlds and some learned to control their 'Chi' or life energy, merge with other energies and so cast spells by way of Magick. Magick is the art of changing consciousness in accordance with will.
I am an esoteric guide, I don't like the word teacher as we are all students. I have been described by a Druid as a 'walker between the worlds', by a Hindu as a 'Mystic' and by others as a male witch!
I knew I was different at an early age, I saw the Faeries and talked with them. I felt the presence of Spirits, and I 'knew things'.
As I grew older I found that bad things happened to people who crossed me, or whom I disliked. I found that by exercising my will and amplifying my intent I could influence people and events, but I stress do no harm as there can be a heavy price to pay, not just in this live but in the future lives too.
So your question. 
You may find you're either very popular, or not really liked.
You feel different.
You know things but you don't know how.
Things happen around you.
You feel attached to nature and the natural world.
You enjoy solitude.
Animals are happy to be with you and gravitate to you. Especially birds.
You feel you've lived before.
You are sensitive to energy, especially earth energies.
You have premonitions and lucid dreams.
You feel you don't belong.
People will either shun you or come to you for advice.
Just because you have one or two of these traits doesn't automatically mean you're a natural witch, but if you can identify with more than 60% you may just be one of us.
But the big question is..................Do you want to be?

[MOONBEARSPEAKS]

So you see Hina, as I said before, this is a serious subject. Being a witch, practising as a witch carries an inherent responsibility. It is not just something to be treated casually or whimsically. 
I have known Johngefnir for a few years and can assure you of his integrity as both practitioner and teacher.
I agree with John,  the big question is..................Do you want to be?   

[Skytiger]

Did you ever think witches are normal, and those who demean and/are scared of them are still searching for truth and understanding?

[johngefnir]

You could be right Skytiger. We all have some witch in us. Who amongst us has not tried to make the rain clouds disappear, made the slow car in front turn off or stop by thinking, or wishing it, made someone turn round by staring at the back of their head?

No one is a natural born witch, you can be born a sensitive, clarevoyent, etc. But, being a witch is an interest, it takes work.

Yes to become a practicing witch it takes devotion, practice and sacrifice, by that I  mean sacrificing your time, your energy and parts of your life to enable you to work properly.
If you have ever looked at the sky and wished the clouds would clear. If you have ever tried to change something by your thoughts. If you have ever 'willed' something to happen. If you have ever looked at the Full Moon and asked for something, then your tendency is towards being a Witch.
Remember Witches are not the evil, hook chinned, warty nosed hags of the Fairy Tales. True Witches are wise, and help people. They use natural remedies and their 'Spells' use the law of attraction. True Witches do not meet in covens, but rather are solitary and keep themselves to themselves. You must seek out a Witch, they will not seek you.
Witchcraft is not a religion, it is a way of life, there is no hierarchy, there are no high priests, priestesses or priests, just Witches.
We are generally happy, good natured people who mean no harm to anyone. In fact it is in our code not to harm anything. But remember the rule of three.
Blessings to you all.
