Witches ???

Question

hey, how do you know if you born a witch? I have very wierd abilities and i was wondering if that is part of me being a wich? any answer helps, thx i need to know this

Answer 1

I was also born with certain abilities and was naturally "drawn" toward witchcraft.  I have  been a practicing witch for over 30 years now but no, I was not "born" a witch.

I not only follow Witchcraft but also the Native American path.

Witchcraft/Wicca is a life path, like any other religion you place your faith in.  This is not to say that all who have abilities turn to some form of Paganism.  I have known many Christians who have abilities and believe that they are God given.

As others here have said, ALL of us are born with some abilities but most choose not to use them, ignore  or fear them and they gradually fade.

Be assured that you are no freak of nature because you were "blessed" with certain talents.  There are many good books on the market these days that can help you better understand and fine tune your gifts.

Best of luck to you.

Answer 2

I thought I must have been born into a long line of Wiccans.

Alas, I was wrong.

You didn't say exactly what your "weird powers" are.

Answer 3

if you can see auras, youre most likely pyschic not a witch.

Answer 4

try them out if you do, I've seen ghosts so I believe in witches too

Answer 5

I'm going to be real with u. witches are real but ur not born one

what ur explaining is not magical powers but that u have a higher sensitivity to the norm. i have premonition sometimes to the point were i can finish the other person conversation  or see someone action before it happens but im not a witch more then likely ur not either but if u mess with voodoo, or withcraft then yes ur a witch but if do not mess with any of these types of magic then no, ur not a witch, u may be psychic not jean gray or miss cleo type but still psychic there are still parts of the brian  that we do not fully use and maybe ur using that part that not everybody has access to

Answer 6

WOW ! I never knew that I didn't exsist. Aughghgh....just scared meh' self. LOL!!  Wicca and Witchcraft are 2 seperate things. Witchcraft is a practice. I'm a solitary Witch. And I'm proud of who I am. I don't worship satan...that's a Christian pantheon and to believe that there is a devil is only to create it and thats more scary to me than anything. I'm happy just following my belief of Love and Light and creating positive energy and to leave that bad stuff alone. Nothing against Christians....to each their own. Alot of my friends are Christians and I love them all to death. People just need to be more open minded. Different paths we take in life just lead to the same place. And I believe that all people bring into this world certain gifts. Does it make you a witch? no...but it doesn't hurt if you can use your gift to help others...just makes ya  A better person. Thats A nice feeling.

Answer 7

There are no witches. Witches do not exsist.

Answer 8

Witches are fictional.

∴ You are not a witch.

Q.E.D.

Re Addit Info: If you were talking about the Wiccan sort, you're obviously clueless, since witches in the neopagan sense are made by choice, not born, and they most definitely have no supernatural abilities. Hey, it may be a cool religion but it's just as fictional as the rest of them.

Answer 9

Abilities don't make anyone a witch. They make them people with gifts. Serioius study, dedication and practice in Witchcraft make a witch.

Answer 10

Being a witch is a choice not a genetic quality.  However, some people may be born with certain talents that lead them to be drawn to witchcraft or folk magic.  You didn't explain what your "weird abilities" might be, but I would ask you to honestly examine yourself and try to find a rational explanation before assuming they are paranormal in nature.

Edit: Thank you for letting us know what "abilities" you were speaking of.  Though I don't know if Deja Vu is an ability really, unless you are having Deja Vu b/c of what seem to be precognitive visions.  Seeing auras is interesting, make sure when you are seeing them that there is no reason for you to be seeing something like a trick of the light, reflections from mirrors or water, or anything like that.  Can you do it at will?  Be totally honest with yourself about all this because if you start going around saying you can see auras and it turns out to be something explainable you will not live it down.  Again though, none of this makes you a "witch" unless you want to be one.  Lots of people of many religions explore new age subjects like auras.

Answer 11

Their is no such thing being born as a witch. Sorcery is something you learn and it can go to extravagant lengths.

Answer 12

witches have natural abilities, it shows up from a baby onwards the strongest time is at age 17. The abilities run in families,witches can be solitary or within a coven.

Answer 13

How weird are..? I personally dont believe in that. I think someone would be just too jelous and having evil ideas. Otherwise you are not a witch

Answer 14

I think that you may just be spiritually intune and that is why you can see peoples auras.  I am being serious regardless of how others feel to answer your question.  I think that you may be getting deja vu because you may be reliving events from past lives.  I think that you should focus your energy on contacting your guardian angels and spirit guides for help in figuring out your powers and maybe finding more out about your past ives would help with the deja vu.  

I think that you said witch becausethese things are seen in movies and on tv shows to be powers of a witch. I think it is more your spiritual growth that is giving you these powers.  Try contacting your guides and angel. They should be able to help you.  Good luck. you can email me if you want to.

Answer 15

What does the rest of your family believe? As far as faith, are they christians? Or what? That would help to answer. Also, just to make sure, have you been to the doctor about aura seeing? There are some neural problems that cause aura seeing. If its not that, and ur sure its auras it is possible that you have some gifts of sight. This doesn't mean you are a witch but it also doesn't mean you aren't. msg me on yahoo and I will give you some info =D And if it is a gift of sight, be prepared for more stupid answers from ignorant people.

Answer 16

I do belive in witches. But your little "gift" isn't really a witchy thing. Becoming a witch is a choice, you can't born as one.

Answer 17

Agreed with Foxfire.  

Witchcraft is a skillset that is learned.  You are not born with all the knowledge of a witch, or of any other trade for that matter.  These are things you learn as you grow, and while you may be born into a family of praciticing witches, you would still have to study and practice to learn the craft yourself.

Some people are just naturally good at learning so they pick up on things quite quickly, whereas others may require more study (I'm sure you've seen this in school with classmates - there's always the one that gets good grades with very little effort and study it seems.)

Now, as far as your "weird abilities" - we really can't answer this question for you since you don't say what they are.  

If I were to guess, you are speaking of some kind of psychic abilities.  In which case - we are all born with a "sixth sense".  However, it is not our society norm to nurture and develop this sense - in fact, we are often scorned and ridiculed for using it, so most people tend to tune this out as they grow.  Some people's extrasensory perception remains quite open and  functional throughout their lives.  

For those who have tuned it out in their lives, well, anyone could choose to access and redevelop/strengthen this sense if they wanted.  But it may take a lot of work to get it to function properly again.  Just as if you were in a car accident and couldn't walk for quite some time, you would have to go through some sort of physical therapy to "re-learn" how to properly utilize you leg muscles to walk.

Edit:  Okay - no - extrasensory perception does not make you a witch.  Though many witches do work on developing their sixth sense in their practice - there is more to witchcraft than utilizing your psychic abilities.

Answer 18

Is this what the future holds for the world?  This generation of kids believes in witches, mermaids and vampires.  If that's the best that generation has to offer the world is doomed.

You can always use your awesome witch powers to stop me from answering.  Better yet there are girls who keep asking how to be turned into mermaids, maybe you can use your powers to help them.

Answer 19

You were born a psycic.

it's a mixconception that psycics see the future.

there are different levels.

Some are empaths, I am.

Some see auroa's, like you

Some are claivoyants, or mediums.

There are people who aren't wiccan but practice witchcraft.

But for the most part it is a religion.

You can use your gift to really help people.

Answer 20

A witch is a person who studies and practices the Craft.  The people that I know who were born into witch families may have had the advantage of early acceptance but they still had to learn and hone their skills like everyone else.

Answer 21

Seeing auras is not a weird ability.  Seeing spirits is not a weird ability.  We all have abilities but most people have shut them down because they were told they couldn't.

Actually none of the abilities people have make them a witch.  I choose to practice witchcraft and that is what makes me a witch.
