Witches are men or women who use the energy of the universe to accomplish what they desire to do.
The Old Religion is the magic of Nature itself. It is the essence which binds all things together.
Are you a Witch?
Let's take a look at the signs and characteristics that you may recognize within yourself.
Witches, don’t create or fix problems, they work with nature and energy to bring things into alignment.
You Are Connected With Nature
This is one of the most revealing signs. Witches work with the energy of the magic of the earth and nature. They align many of their practices to the lunar and solar phases. Have you ever felt unexplainable energy on a full moon or new moon?
Have you ever felt more at peace in nature—deep in a forest or near a body of water—than inside a crowded place?
Feeling at peace in nature says a lot about that you.
You feel alive and your senses are essentially heightened when you are in nature.
You Have Rituals
Rituals can be anything from smudging your environment on a certain lunar phase or feeling the need to ground yourself with the soil beneath your feet.
If you use herbs regularly or use essential oils simply because you have a natural tendencies to do so, you are likely connected to the Earth’s energy.
You Communicate With Animals
You already know if this describes you.
Animals are drawn to you and are you drawn to them.
You may have discovered that many animals find you and you find them during your lifetime.
This is a good sign.
Your Intuition Is Strong
Have you ever felt the vibes and energy from people, places or situations?
This may be because you are likely in-tune with universal energy. Trusting your intuition means you have a strong feeling in your "gut." This extra sense often leads you to the right answer about a situation, the right path, person, or thing whether present, past, or future.
You Have a Familiar
In the Dark Ages, "familiars" were taken more seriously than they are today and were actually thought to be demons by Christians.
Pagans and Witches however, have a much different view, and often refer to their household animal compnaion as their familiar. Familiars can be your cat, dogs, rabbits, wolves, toads and frogs, owls, or other wildlife.
What Is a Familiar?
Familiars are special animals that connect with the Witch they are drawn to and they tend to be smarter, deeper and more attuned with you.
You Collect Natural "Tools"
Rocks, shells, feathers, precious stones, crystals, abalone shells, or natural anomalies. If you have collected these items over the years, you may have been collecting them to "do work." Learning how to use them will often require the guidance of an experienced witch or research by you.
You Have an Understanding of Herbs
Herbs are very important to witches. Herbology is simply the use of herbs to cure or treat physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or psychic ailments.
You're Introverted by Choice
Many Witches stay busy and avoid distractions and negativity for peace of mind, protecting or keeping your energy positive and healthy.
Some people can be energy vampires, and Witches much prefer to be in peaceful environment, away from chaos, negativity and mindless activities.
