Natural witch characteristics are by no means set in stone and because of this, it’s a topic that causes a lot of disagreements! However, it is an area that interests me as I was aware of some of the signs from an early age so I thought I would put together a small, but by no means complete, list of some of the most popular giveaways.
1) Psychic dreams. This of course will link in with those with psychic abilities, which takes us in a different direction to witchcraft but this is very common with natural witches because of their intuitive personalities.
2) An affinity with nature. A natural witch characteristic that runs through just about all natural witches is that they feel at one with the world around them. They are not good at being cooped up and tend to be fond of all outdoor pursuits from walking to gardening.
3) A close understanding of animals. The natural witch will often be able to understand animals and themselves have quite an animalistic approach to life in some ways. What this means is that they are flexible, able to adapt to the changing environment including the seasons, often highly attuned to danger signs around them and also are affected by moon cycles.
4) Natural witch characteristics will often run in families. But this doesn’t mean that it has to be a parent. You may discover that an ancestor way back was a witch!
5) An aptitude for divination. Again we crossover with the psychic realm but this can also make the natural witch much more adept at using witchcraft tools in general. There is an instinctive ability to work with them.
Having said all of the above it is important to also recognise that nothing will be achieved without hard work and practise. But if you have found that you have one or more of the above, you may find that witchcraft is your true calling :)
Thank you for your blog-- it is very insightful & entertaining. Being a natural witch (4th generation) can feel like a curse when you are young. I'm now in my 30's and have really begun to embrace my calling. It is a whole new world of self-acceptance and love.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments :)
I totally agree that it's tough journey being a natural witch. Not only is it isolating and scary to feel different but I also think it can put a lot of responsibility on young shoulders. You can feel that there are things you can do but you daren't risk trying them!
I'm so glad you are embracing what and who you are though. It can never be too early or late for that!

im still confused and scared im 14 and have all these characteristics but i dont know what to do am i crazy?
ReplyDeleteHow about being visited by a familiar, such as a black cat, etc.?
ReplyDeleteI have a question, so I have all of these characteristics but on a Sunday night I got really mad at my mom and I went to my quiet stop and I wish that there was a tornado and then the next day a tornado hit our state in Platteville! One day at school I got very mad at my science teacher and I wish there was hot rain pouring down at a town called Riverdale at that same time, and when I had a class field trip it started to thunder but when my class and I got up the hill my science teacher said that the storm was moving away and I said back to him, "nope, it is going to come our way in a bit and then the storm clouds where over us and I out smart my science teacher who is a scientist and nature and animals love me and my dreams come true and I can see my dogs spirit which he die a few months ago and I'm still sad about it and I get very emotional when I hear about animals being abuse and hurt and nature being destroyed I cry. So does this mean I'm a natural witch? Please reply back
DeleteYes you are. That's what real natural witches do. We have the power to wish up things without ever even hearing about witchcraft. We speak things into being. We bring on karma to others too. Natural witches are chosen and it is a special gift giving you strong abilities. Real natural witches have real powers and don't have to do spells. But you have to learn how to control your anger because it will cause bad things to happen that you didn't really mean. Your happiness will also cause things to happen. Only real natural witches can do what you can do because we are chosen by a higher power not made. And there is a lot more to real natural witches than what is written in this article. Some people who think they are natural witches aren't. You are though. People who really have the gift don't usually tell everybody that they do though. And you shouldn't tell everybody either. You see I am anonymous. That's because I'm an adult and I know better. So keep this gift to yourself and use your gift to protect the innocent and yourself. : )
DeleteI hv most of these charisteristics. But I am not afraid. I love to be with animals and nature.wen my dog is not feelin well, I can almost sence it. I hv had many phsychic dreams, and a lot of deja vus.and also some of my aunts hv beem witches too
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for some answers for quite sometime now. I've been feeling weird for a long time. some of these signs always existed in me throughout the childhood. the dreams started when I was 16. I have lucid dreams and they come true in a few days time. some are absolutely insignificant and some are nightmares about the important events. the nightmares are scary because the reality is always worse than what I dream. also, since the past two years, I've been spotting numbers in pairs. for eg whenever I look at the time, it's 05:05, 10:10 and so on. it freaked me out the other day when the number sequence of my answer sheet was 708708!
ReplyDeleteI would have brushed these things aside but recently I dreamt of my own death- like an out of body experience. a week later my grandmum passed away suddenly and I've always been told that I'm exactly like her, especially by my mum. it's scary now. I'd really like to know whether it's my subconscious playing tricks or is there some answer to all that I'm experiencing. I'd be grateful if someone helped.
p.s: I came to a town called Salem two years ago for my studies which I never thought existed. I never applied for the uni here, just got a call from them. could it be another coincidence?
I have same experiences like u have, dreams, certain coincidences like when I pick up the phone it will ring eventually with the person in my mind will call or txt me, I can understand animals too and whatever I say they happen, my mom once told me that my dad was like that too I experience these things the night he died I was the only one in the family knew that he died coz he appeared in my dream, after 7mos there's a black striped cat that came into our house and stayed for 8yrs and we haven't seen his body if he died or what happened to him, that made me realized that we might be witches even long before we are born, just embrace the gift its a blessing its our extra guidance in life we are not doing harm to anyone just happened that we are born with it no effort :)
Deletei truly believe that i hold all the charactoristics of being a natural witch, i would like to know how to pratice my skills though, i'd love to learn more on this, to me this is very intriging. its something not just anyone can have, it makes me feel honored to be this way. just to say, i have the ability to tells ones near future( within the month) just by them telling me thier dreams, or from my own dreams...one friend said her dreaam was she lost something small, that she cared for and the only thing left to remember of it was steel cage. her dream, as she says had no pitures just the cage, emty. and as she told me this i thought of two mondays and her hamster she would get the next day, which was a monday,i warned her of this. as it was that monday she got the pet and by the next monday the pet was sick and passed away, therefore her emty cage and all the rest.
ReplyDeleteI have all these characteristics always have but i want to learn control and not be afraid of my psychic abilities and dreams when they get tense. Im.16 and would like a teacher since my parents refuse to teach me and tell me to ignore it. They dont even let me get books to learn and are afraid. I have had this since i was a kid and am tired of being afraid of what i know or who to tell.
ReplyDeleteJust came across this site and it's all very interesting. But I have some questions, that I'm hoping someone here can answer.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone had anything more physical happen? Like more than just the premonitions or dreams? Such as, (just for an example) thoughts happen? Like, you'll think of something (good or bad) and it happens right then and there? Or, I don't know...Do you. I don't even know how to ask this.
Ok. So say you're half skeptic, half spiritual. You're not exactly religious but you believe in something. Then you pray for something, when you don't pray very often. But then every time you pray for something it comes true/happens really fast. Even though you feel really guilty about it afterwards and feel like a huge butt for even praying for such little things in the first place. Like the whole, "I'm not worthy/I don't deserve good things" kind of thing. You know? Also, has anyone else here had any pretty vivid dreams about...something. Maybe, "past-life" kind of something?? That maybe involved some "witchy/witchcraft" type stuff in it?? Anyone? And what about spirits? Anyone else feeling, smelling, hearing or seeing anything strange?? Whatever thoughts, opinions or adv. Whatever anyone here can come up with would be much appreciated.
U are a witch powerful one enough to make things happen just because u said it or think about it, some witch practitioner have to cast a spell but for u its effortless hehe, but got to be careful though u never know whom u will come across coz they might have powers like u instead u against them ur curse will go back to u so be careful.
DeleteI am clairavoyant and clairaudient I can hear through all the noise if something is bugging me I can tune into it, say a fight happened with a boyfriend or he is cheating,,, I have heard it even found evidence from the other womans friend or better yet heard words of slander and then a day later in argument those same things came out of his mouth to my face in a fight. So i know its real. Better yet I just cast a renew relationship spell and I had such INTENSE feeling of emotion, I added his photo and also chose to anoint the candles with olive oil and my blood not in the spell but once cast I had THIS HUGE surge of tingling warmth and energy fill my body i looked through my sincere pleading tears and the flames of my candles were reaching up higher to the sky I new my spell was cast. 3 hours later of no returned calls and besides one text saying he was done... he was at my door step coming in to lay next to me... OH MY i new i had the intuitive abilities it runs in my family but spells and actually seeing a result, I am not by any means an experienced caster...?
ReplyDeletemust be natural
Well be careful in casting spells girl especially love spell :) I'm just not a fan of it hehe
DeleteI have thing jappen to me you won't even magine. I get migraines and headaches when storm is close to me. I effects on radios,cars, weed whackers, lawn mower seem to act when I'm near these things. Plus sometime I know something bad about to happen.
ReplyDeleteSince I was a child I've always been more intrigued by nature and animals. Cats especially are more prone to me. For example a friends pregnant cat that never let anyone touch her, jumped on my lap out of nowhere. Another thing since I was young, when people would critize me something mildly bigger would happen to them. I never meant it with harm just with how they made me feel. Recently everything I think, if it comes strong from within me, something happens as if I'm being protected by those harming me. I've always suspected some kind of wicca in me. I do however believe I'm a witch. I also firmly believe every witch has a natural feeling and is more drawn to the more ordinary.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but some of you are just psychic. A real natural witch has real powers. We can make things happen not just know things before hand or have psychic dreams. And we don't have to practice witchcraft unless we chose to. We get our gift by divine means from a higher power. Goddesses visit us to reveal our powers to us. The reason you didn't know about this is because real natural witches aint talking about having powers. So if you don't have the power to make things happen with a thought or a wish you aint a real natural witch. We can change the weather. You psychics and nature lovers haven't been chosen to be given that kind of power. People who make themselves witches aint real witches either. We are chosen. I cant stop being a real witch if I tried to.
