What Is A White Witch? 15 Signs You Are A White Witch
This article is re-printed here with permission by Insight State’s Editorial, originally written September 7, 2019.
White witches do not cast spells to do selfish things for themselves which would involve intentional harm to others. Rather, white witches are those who practice benevolence and goodness in all they do.
List Of 15 Signs You Are A White Witch:
#1 You Are Opening Up To Your Spiritual Powers
You feel you have psychic powers, your hands offer relief to others in the form of hands-on energy healing, your ‘clairs’ are opening, you often think of someone and find the person gets in touch, you manifest what you were thinking of, and you ‘know’ things intuitively.
All these signs show that you can be a white witch.
#2 You Have Ancestors Who Were Medical Herbalists Or Healers
Many cultures believe that the gift of being a white witch is inherited and can only be passed down through several generations.
Of course, in today’s world, it’s almost impossible to know whether any of our ancestors were healers as our recent ancestors, much like ourselves, never claimed and cultivated this white witch gift.
#3 You Feel Called To Help Others
Fueled by compassion, you often find yourself offering to serve others.
From helping with a task at hand or offering a shoulder to lean on, you are a sincere helper. Occasionally, you may even be too quick to put other people’s needs before your own, however, it is always driven by the impulse to serve and give love.
Actually, for you, simply coming to this Earth and living life is not your goal. You want to help create a positive change in global consciousness which is in fact what the whole world needs.
#4 You Are An Introvert
White witches are multi-dimensional beings, so if you’re of the white witch archetype, you may have a hard time navigating the 3D realms, that may cause you to withdraw into yourself so you can visit the realms of consciousness where you feel most at home.
#5 Your Energy Is Positive
Your body/mind/soul energy is positive. When trouble looms, or you feel blue, or it’s a terrible day, you see beyond that.
Moreover, you understand that we must experience negatives in order to appreciate positives. Maybe you feel down or sad sometimes, like everyone else, nevertheless, it just never leaves you permanently marked.
#6 You Have Vivid Dreams
Some dreams will give you ideas about what may possibly happen.
You think that whenever you do this, this is a coincidence, however, it is because you can access information from your spiritual guides much easier than others.
#7 You Hear Voices
You hear voices and whispers, but there is no physical source.
You’ve ruled out mental disorders, therefore, it’s likely that you have clear hearing (clairaudience) abilities.
Note – it is up to you whether you develop this ability further by delivering the messages to those they are intended for, or whether you shut-down this ability.
#8 You Sense That You’re Meant To Participate In The Global Shift In Consciousness Which Is Currently Underway
We can all feel it, this impending shift that many spiritual teachers have talked about for decades.
But white witches don’t just feel it, they feel it pulling them, like a magnet, towards leadership positions which help facilitate this transformation of human consciousness.
#9 You Feel A Strong Connection To Nature
White witches understand “the web of life” – that everything on the physical plane is deeply interconnected through the web of Spirit.
Nothing embodies this understanding better than nature, how it nurtures us, and how we nurture it in a mutually dependent relationship.
#10 You Capture People’s Vibes Instantly
White witches tend to have levels of empathy which are much higher than the average person.
Note – the term ”empathy” refers to the ability or capacity to imagine oneself in the situation of another, experiencing the opinions, ideas, and emotions of that person.
When they are with people, even if they do not read their facial expressions or know them very well, they can still determine what vibes they are letting out or how this individual feels.
That is why you might find it incredibly daunting to hang out with individuals who tend to dramatize every event, or who are constantly sad.
#11 You Have A Well-Developed Intuition
Intuition is also known as a strong hunch or gut feelings. Your body, everyone’s body, is actually an antenna.
It is sensitive to energy. Every individual can tune into their intuition, however, most people choose to ignore it.
You don’t make decisions logically, although you do consider that your way is logical. You have learned that your intuition has guided you well throughout your life.
Tip – to test out your intuition, next time you have to make a decision, place your hand on your solar plexus (found in the pit of the stomach) and become aware of the feeling in your body when you consider each choice laid before you.
#12 You Have Had A Mystical Experience
Have you had an NDE (near-death experience)?
Perhaps you have experienced something which you cannot explain, possibly miraculous healing. If you answer yes, then most likely you have cured yourself first.
Upon healing yourself, you emerge from your unwellness with a better ability to cure others.
#13 You Feel You Must Give Something Back To The World
From an early age, you have felt the need to give to humanity, especially to those in need.
Others come to you for advice and you are the one who is always there to help.
Occasionally you lose your own sense of self in this giving process and are looking to find balance, to find yourself within your calling.
#14 You Are Content With Alone Time
While many people constantly need to be surrounded by other humans or crave attention, you are happy to have time by yourself.
You love people, but you are content spending time alone. As a matter of fact, this solo time is what typically “recharges” you as it gives you space to connect more deeply with your inner world.
#15 You Are Self-Aware
White witches are not only aware of their emotions, but also their actions and thoughts, and how those things affect both the people around them as well as their outlook on life.

Most of these apply to me but not all of them…. does that mean I could be a different type of witch
It says all these signs say you may be a white witch so maybe you are if you have a majority of them im thinking
What if all of this that was said abt finding out if your a white witch or not is true and that I’m a white witch but what if it also isn’t I’m goin threw my spiritual awakening and I was told by my aunt who is a witch and spiritual that I’m very gifted and have a gift she said I might also have a couple she also said I’m very strong and powerful she said I was born with it then I was told by another witch the same thing. I can’t wait to find out more abt myself.
I’m definitely a white witch and have experienced all the above, even an out of body experience! I also love nature and Myself time and I also pick up on people’s vibes!
I have some really weird dreams! Some have actually come true!
Apparently this runs in the female side of our family, my great Nan was a healer and could see Ghosts! Hope you find this interesting?
Gem Xx 😊
Ancestors always play a huge role I’ve been learning
I have had every single thing on the list. I am sitting here with my mouth wide open. Who am I?! I am so blown. I had a reading today and was told I am a witch. Life is crzy!!!
I am right with you. I’ve always known and have been having experience from a young age. Didn’t know where to start with the white witch of me, but have been actively studying meditation, earth, medicine, light work and healing. Pretty much everything always felt different. Is that you? Our group is going to open up a section for light white witches.
I had this dream where I was in a house and I had this horrible presence i.could feel it is that a bad sign?
I’d like to get involved in becoming a white witch, I need to practice feeling energies from other people. I strongly believe in the Supernatural paranormal phenomena.
Hi Violet!

Next program starts Feb 19th. Hope to see you there.
All of this make complete sense to me my grand mother is a witch and my mother was a healer I can read ppl from a mile away and I’m also a healer and I never knew exactly how I got these powers but always knew about my grandmother being a witch she has always openly told me she is. I have really vivid dreams like I dreamed that my brother got shot and died and I told him and he asked me why did I tell him that and at the time I felt like I could save him from it happening but no it happened so o felt like if I told my dreams they would come true. I had another dream of my daddy getting shot in the head I keep it to myself but I came to realize that the dream was telling me that he was sick and going to pass and for me to be prepared. Ppl always ask me if I’m a witch I guess I am I was born into this craft 100%.
I need some more understanding of myself. When I was a child I was able to see peoples auras. My mother always used to tell me that I would tell her I could see different colours surrounding them. I don’t see them anymore and I can’t remember at what age it stopped. From a very young age I’ve been able to see the dead, I still do now and I’m 26. Wherever I go I can feel the departed and I can feel the good/bad vibes of these spiritual beings when I enter another persons home. Sometimes they appear to me as a sort of mist/smoke and other times there as clear as another human being. I have a very strong intuition, 9 times out of 10 my gut feelings are right. When people I love and are close to have passed in the middle of the night I have been restless and have a terrible gut feeling before knowing of their passing. I’ve had countless dreams where they’ve turned out true or have happened at a later date. There’s so many things I’ve experienced throughout my life and I just need some understanding of what I might be? Any advice or feedback will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Seems like you’re highly intuitive and/or clairvoyant.
Hi! I could relate to your post! I work in board & care homes , doing hair. There are time that I will come to do a haircut in a client and I feel that it will be the last time that I will see them ! It is very apparent to me! I feel sad, but do my best job and then send photos to their family. Love my work, but that is the down side. I am a White Witch as I have been told by a very powerful and insightful man I spent 7 years with. Thank you for your post! Shelley
Yes I feel the same way. When I just have a feeling around family members or my husband. They always tell me they wish I hadn’t told them. So it’s hard for me to even warn them or tell them what I saw/feel might happen. Sometimes I even call my mom or whoever is keeping my kids, just to say don’t let them out of your site especially near the water. Just Because I get an overwhelming feeling of dread/ something bad happening near water.
hi, i also feel the points mentioned above. my ancestors were part of healers group.They also helped people from bad ghost,diseases etc.I have power of touch and voice.This is what people say that no matter how bad/in pain they are, they instantly feel good when they meet me, talk to me. Also when i see someone suffering from pain , i get visions of herbs to help, i am not a doctor , but i can tell the cure by looking at person and listening to his/her voice etc
Yeah, these all apply to me, especially the NDE one, it still scares me and now I have Thalasaphobia (a fear of deep waters) I also looove nature and alone time, like reading a book under a tree is the best. I also love to be friends with everyone, like the staff at my new school I’m trying to get to know them. I was bored so I looked this up, but now I think I could be a white which. Cool
All of these describe me! Plus my grandmother was a medicine woman. I have found it to be increasingly draining to be around people especially if I touch someone I can feel what they are feeling! I don’t know where to begin to strengthen my gift. I just recently told my husband of 16yrs that I felt as if I was a witch he told me he already figured I was and is supportive of me strengthening it. It is so taboo in society!
All the points made in this article have applied to me. Since I was 7 years old, I have been seeing shadow figures appear in my room. I’m 19 now and I can control when I want to see them. I subconsciously communicated with my great grandmother, whom had passed when I was 3, in a dream when I was 11. Since then I often know when a loved one is going to die because I’ll dream of them then they’ll be gone the following week. My ability to sense energy is, so strong that I’ll already know what kind of people to avoid in public places, parties, or family related events. I can also sense when someone is wishing bad on me because I’ll see a shadow figure following me. Usually, whenever something bad is about to happen, I’ll hear someone calling my name but no one would be there. When I’m deeply connected with a friend, partner, or family member I know when something is wrong with them even when they don’t tell me. Also whenever I was 9 I slipped into a coma whenever I was really ill but I woke up after two days. My out of body experience was so vivid I saw myself sleeping then I began to wonder around, but i fell into darkness. The screams of agony and pain were so excruciating I woke up. I can also control my thoughts and emotions around other witches. My ex boyfriends mom is a witch and she hated me. I don’t know if she was intimidated by me or if it was because she could never manipulate me, but I think she knew I was a witch. I told her about my dreams of death and she became wide eyed and she never tried getting close with me. She also hated she could never sense what/how I was feeling. So she didn’t “approve” of my relationship with her son. I don’t know any of my ancestry, but I know there’s no possible way I’m capable of doing these things by nature so I looked into it and I did some digging and found my way here.
How can you keep from ppl reading or feeling your energy?
I have most of these feelings , I have for many years .. I am an empath and feel everything .. I’ve been drawn into this since my twenties . And I go so much with my gut feelings and senses with people etc and situations.. I am learning the tarot cards now it’s been drawn to me for years . But my life has been so up and down .. only now at 59 I’m doing it ..
Blessings 🙏
I have all of these….
Well I have a lot of these, was blowing my mind as i read it. The reason I found this website is because ppl more and more ppl, who don’t even know each other keep calling me a witch
One person caught a glimpse of me in the dark not pitch black but light from afar, and he told me when I turned and looked at him i was black and he walked over to me and asked me to stick out my tongue, so i did and he said. “yep, you got a black spot on your tongue too.”. Now that scared me, still scares me. I never thought of myself as an black witch. I’ve never ever REALLY ever wanted to hurt anyone. So can you tell me what was/is up w that? Or was it just some crazy ol man fooling around??! Does anyone have any ideas or where i should/could find some.
I mean there was a couple of times where I’ve said some not good things about a couple of ppl in different situations they weren’t connected to each other and it just do happened what i said really did happen so I’ve learned not to say bad things about ppl i watch what i say and how i say things now. But I never thought I was a witch
. What do I do?
I feel like I can pick up on everyones emotions and it drains me even when I don’t want to know what they are feeling. I take on anxiety, depression and loneliness. I feel like I am suppose to help everyone and that is what made me want to be a nurse. Sometimes when I focus on something happening it comes true like jobs, passing college, getting the guy I wanted. And too many times to count I have had intuition not to go down a road that I didn’t know was closed, felt if someone was going to show up at my house that I didn’t know was coming, and knowing that I was going to get a job before I was even offered it. Sometimes I think I can even feel further in the future and prepare myself for it like if a loved one dies or maybe getting a divorce. But all these things have made me want to be secluded and stay away from people, sometimes even my own family. I am glad to read this article and see some other people feel the same things I do. I haven’t learned to focus my energy and control the feelings that I feel or if they are someone else’s. I am working with crystals, candles and aromatherapy.
I relate. I too have gad these experiences. Dreams that come true, like picking lottery numbers. For telling future events and past experiences in such detail that I started using it as a bar trick to make money. I know what the warming feels like. The tingling and warm ness that rushes over when I’m either manifesting something into existence or seeing into someone’s past. My father could do the same…
Thank you for explaining that if you are feeling called to help others and feel a strong connection to nature, you could be a white witch. My friend has been wondering what kind of witch she is as she’s developed her skills and abilities. I’ll be sure to mention this to her since she has these two traits in spades as well as a few of the other ones as well, so I wonder if she could be a white witch.
Oddly I’ve always known that I was different, I know things, feel things understand everything… Everything on this list I am… I know I am a witch.and I have known for some time.
I also have everything on the list I also died when I was a baby 3 times I am in my 50s and it is stronger than ever I am so happy I have been talking to my guides to help me find people like me
Ok I had to look this up. My grand mum and great grand mother were herbal healers. I see things before they happen in vivid dreams. I hear whispers of things that are to happen. If I ask a question before I sleep, I will see the answer in writing and it comes true. I have had an encounter with a spirit who visited me once when I was in distress. He spoke to me and comforted me then disappeared. That I still don’t know who it was.I was motionless during the encounter and before I could ask what his name was, he vanished. Sometimes I think it is my guiding spirit or Jesus. My siblings call me a witch because my dreams all come true. I am also able to sense peoples vibes and have a well developed intuition. I don’t doubt my intuition because it is always right. I have had dreams of healing people. I work as nurse healing the sick and I try to bring joy to my patients but I think I have some abilities that I don’t see in others. What could I be? I’m I a fairy, a witch or a reincarnation of a light worker? I don’t understand. Also, people that are sad and dramatic send me off running. I also say prayers to protect my energy because sad and toxic people drain me and make me tired. So tired that I have to take time away to recharge. Any idea of what my abilities are?
I am witch I know this but only recently I have embraced it fully I feel created from earth I have dreamt I am being hung as a witch 2 different times and last year fell to the ground and died for half an hour. I am still here and more witch than ever..thankyou to earth and heaven for my existence.
