Are You a Magical Natural? – 11 Signs That You Have Inherent Magical Abilities
Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Tess Whitehurst, author of Magical Housekeeping, The Good Energy Book, The Art of Bliss, Magical Fashionista, The Magic of Flowers, and the new Holistic Energy Magic and the forthcoming Magic of Flowers Oracle.
Something funny about being born with magical abilities is that you often don’t know it—or at least don’t fully realize the extent of it—because you assume that everyone else is having the exact same experience you are. It’s a natural assumption, because it’s all you’ve ever known! If you’re an empath, you think everyone else can feel other people’s feelings. If you’re an animal communicator, you think everyone else can tell what her dog is thinking. If you’re a master manifester, you think everyone else can visualize something and watch it miraculously appear within a matter of hours or weeks. Consequently, you may imagine that you’ve got to practice harder in order to develop your magical abilities, while it actually may be more important for you to realize and embrace the abilities that you already have. Then, once you do that, you can wield them consciously and learn to express them in even more wonderful ways. With this in mind, here are 11 signs that your magical abilities are perhaps more potent than you previously thought.
Please keep in mind that everyone’s magical abilities are different, so these need not all be true for you. Even one or two will indicate strong magical proclivities.
- You love magical and metaphysical book and supply stores. Clearly, you sense the energy and power of things like incense, crystals, candles, spiritual writings, and crystal singing bowls. Otherwise, you wouldn’t find anything of interest at these stores.
- You notice recurring patterns. Does it seem like almost every time you look at the clock, you see 11:11? Or 4:44? Or 12:34? Or maybe you go through times when—almost every day—you see a single hawk circling high in the sky, or dream about being able to breathe under water. These are messages from the spirit world coming through. As a medicine man or woman, you’re a bridge between the worlds of spirit and matter, and you’re being called to interpret and heed the messages you receive.
- You think about someone, and then they contact you. As a magical person, you are especially tuned into the interconnection between all people, places, and thoughts. So someone crosses your mind while you’re in the shower, and you get out and find that they just called you. Or you start wondering about that question you emailed to your friend, and then you check your email, and there’s your answer.
- You are an intuitive cook. Maybe you start with a recipe or maybe you don’t, but either way you frequently end up with a dish or a meal that no one has ever prepared before. And it’s (often) awesome! This is a physical mirror of your spiritual ability of sensing exactly what is needed energetically in order to bring about the reality you desire.
- You can sense what a cat is about to do. Have you ever met a neighborhood cat while out for a walk and known absolutely, without a doubt in your mind, how to approach in order not to frighten him away? Have you thought to yourself, for example, If I take one more step, he’s going to dash, but if I squat down and look at my fingernails like I don’t really care, he’s going to approach…And then you were right? Yeah, you were tuning into that cat’s consciousness. And yeah, not everyone can do that.
- You somehow know the tone of voice to use to get any wild animal to look at you and pay attention. Have you ever seen an owl or a deer and said, “Hi buddy!” or “Hey you,” in a certain tone of voice and had her calmly look right at you? Like you could just think about your intention to connect and then you could somehow connect? Again: not something everyone can do. Humans speaking to wild animals=not usually successful. They usually err on the side of caution and flee.
- You are really picky about color. You might like every color in the rainbow, but only certain very specific shades seem to nourish you at any given time. Color is energy, so this points to your ability to sense nuances of energy, and to know how that energy interacts with everything else.
- You can tell when someone’s lying. You just know. How do you know? You don’t know…Until now, that is: it’s because you’re magical. You’re awake to subtleties that fall under the radars of many people.
- You perceive plants as having personalities. And now you might be thinking, Wait, not everyone perceives plants as having personalities? No, my friend, they do not. Crazy, right?
- You crave the feeling of walking barefoot on grass. For you, it’s not just a warm weather amusement, it’s (sometimes) an actual necessity. This is because a part of your magic is your attunement with the Earth. Walking barefoot or sitting on the earth is literally a communion with your Divine Mother and a way of receiving her unconditional love, healing, and support.
- You prefer hiking or walking in nature quietly, even when with a partner or group. You may even have decided you don’t like walking in nature with others, because their idle chitchat irritates you. And talking on your phone? Never! It misses the whole point of listening to the wind and birds, and feeling at one with with the nurturing presence of the natural world. Mother Nature is just so alive and sacred to you, you see no reason to listen to anything but her.
So, what did you discover? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Most of these apply to me, I’m so absolutely intrigued by everything magical and things that can’t be explained, I love hiking, animals, being in nature and walking barfoot, but I believe I have the ability to control the weather, mostly by strong ish emotions,but very occasionally by command. For instance, when I was little, I believed i could talk to the wind, I loved it when it blew, sometimes I would want it to blow stronger or less and it would do as I wished. But, it wasn’t until recently that I’ve noticed my ability. A couple of examples, are twice at achool, the weather called for rain around the time in would walk home, but when I stepped outside it was bright and sunny, and it was that way all the way home, soon after I got home is when it started. Another time, I had a friend over, and I didn’t want them to go, the only thing I could think of to keep them to stay was if it were to rain, soon before there patent arrived it was raining and soon after they left it became partly cloudy. Then today, it was sunny, but I was starting to feel tired and anxious so I decided to lay down, soon after I realised I was getting a headache, it started to strom, thunder and lighting. Later on,it was still cloudy because I still had the headache, and my mom mentioned the strange strom, now it’s still cloudy and I still have a headache. My friend knows I can control it through strong emotions, but I think they don’t actually believe me, I honestly don’t know what to do, and if it’s real, or just a coincidence
U was told onore than one occasion by several mediums that I am extremely gifted even to some it was stated that I was gifted in a most powerful way and still another said I was a master manifester and yes most of these apply to me I have experienced insights understandings about future events I knew Obama would be president the first time he appeared on TV I knew Trump would win against all odds I have known for some time that we are in a global transformation I have warned padters of impending dangers only to see them ignore the warnings and watch churches split or die but now I seem to have difficult manifesting things in my on life that would effect other’s lives for the betterment of community there are blockages from my earlier child hood that I cannot see clearly I am looking for a true mentor but cannot seem to limited one
Let’s see…9 out of 11….I have many questions…I was raised with my fam telling me “u r doing that thing again you do..” I frequently felt I was walking a line to damnation for something I was born doing. I didn’t cultivate it…over the last couple years I began thinking…if I was born different is it my fault?…I have druids and shamans in my fam history as well as bishops…I am so confused yet feel I am heading down a right path..slowly but I hv no idea to where..
@ Christine-
My name is Krystal. I am intrigued by what you said. Being a Christian, I’m torn between what I’m taught and what I feel. I possess some of these abilities as well as others and don’t know what to do either. Does researching and engaging to find answers lead me to a life of damnation? Or am I meant , like you, to pursue this inclination? I have a unicorn charm in my car. I instantly loved it and had to have it when I saw it in the gift shop at work. It says: “ Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” It made me wonder whether I’m not so wrong for believing. Would love to inbox you and hear more about your experience(s)
One time on holiday I went to an Arabian horse show and one of the first events was a horses competition. They ran around the ring but none of the horses seemed to come to my side. On one of them I quietly started making this noise that I make to bring my dogs over and it came over to my area and stared me in the eyes. That horses later went on to win. I’ve always loved animals and felt a connection to them, especially dogs. I’ve also always been interested in the supernatural and as a thirteen year old a lot of my spare time consists of binge watching tv series and a lot of these are about the supernatural, Are any of these things signs?
Also every time one of my exes broke up with me I knew it would happen in the morning, each time it was from reading into one sign. I’ve always been an over thinker and paranoid but generally my instincts are right,
From the picky color one until the end, and the attraction to magic stores, they apply to me.. I’m only twelve years old right now, these traits may not fully apply to me yet. I do often dream of odd things.. I dreamt if two elements, water and air, in my dreams. Now, this could simply be a coincidence, but.. who knows?
I’ve never seen or been near a store that sells magical items, but I love with stories that have magic. Does that suggest anything?
I am most close to the supply stores, plants have personalities, animals pay attention with a few chosen words, I despise wearing shoes cause if feels like part of me is missing and I can tell when cats are going to bolt, but I can’t tell what to do to make them not. The only one that really isn’t me is the going in silence to nature, I can’t do the silence. Whenever I try it feels like a bombardment of emotions, not only negative, along with greetings and warnings, I’ve fainted next to a pond because of it. I have to have some form of music going, not rock or anything, like harp and lyre music, things like that. It slows the attack of feelings and emotions everything to a manageable level and gives me time to control everything around me. I called a doe to my side more than once, just to be there as emotional support. It’s scary without the soft harp to calm the storm, and everything surrounding sings along to my music
I’ve been more interested in supernatural things you know like witches warlocks wherewolfs fairies and ect…. nothing more…..and I have seen 11:11 before I woke up one day and I saw 11:11 on my pillow and since that day I never forgotten about that and I have weird dreams all the time there not just any ordinary dreams there lucid dreams and I’m also very interested in animals ect…,it finds me more intrigued to walk in a Forrest because it seems more beutiful to me then anything else it feels like I’m at home it feels like I’m at peice can you please tell me what do to?
Sorry for comment again but I also walk barefeet outside all the time I love being out in the rain there’s just something missing about me that hasn’t been complete or something apart of me is missing and I seem to like the dark better then the light and if I tell someone no one believes me they all think I’m crazy
7/11. Is that good?
Well, I got into magic at a very young age. Now I can control it.
I have been described as nieve or should I say green if your from where I’m from I probably like that label better because its shots fired at the color green or those who favor it clearly calling that specific color out like eww Iyou suck most say I’m different I’m not what I appear to be never adapted to my surrounding always maintained but I’m not..I wa approached by some random folks that generated my most recent awakening I am now more of a believer but not all the way convinced have more questions someone pleas assist.
Ahhh…okey
i have always felt drawn to magic. nature has always had a sentient quality to me, as if the earth could feel. intuition runs in my family, especially through the scilian blood. yet everytime i think of a situation, it’s as if my mind wills it to happen, but it happens as free will, of people’s own accord. not of my asking or my mind willing their minds. i often will forget about said situation until it happens days or months, maybe even years later. when i get an overwhelming urge to talk to someone, they die. i will say to myself, “i have to talk to ____, i don’t know why, it’s important that i do” and the anxiety of it will not go away. that’s how i know they are headed for danger. dreams of the future are common, but another quality i feel i possess is healing. for some reason, ever since i was little, i always felt as if i could heal things. i felt myself harnessing energy and pushing it to another person when they are in needed and they always get better. my thoughts on my magical abilities have been in the back of my mind as long as i could remember, before i could even recognize the fact that i seemed the only person who feels this way. it was never a magic that needed spells, but only energy. as i begin to understand this, i want to learn more on how to harness this. any reply i am able to get on this, i am very grateful.
patterns are yet another thing i’ve forgotten. i see 555 too often. my foloeer account always drops down to that number and it appears in other’s usernames, billboards and signs. i just saw 777 today in the follower account of someone every close to me. something has always drawn us together, and i believe whatever entity it is, it intends for us to stay connected. i am unsure of the message trying to be conveyed, and i often hear the same sentences and words over and over again throughout weeks. i try to keep track of all i see but whatever my destiny is, i see it unclear and i believe i’m to use whatever powers i feel i possess to seize it.
Seven of them apply to me.
I’d like to believe I’m connected to mother nature in special ways. I’d like to know how to talk to her, if you will. Just to let her know I love her and make a promise we will look out for each other when needed. Most times I feel her in the wind. The rain. I can feel her most nights when I stargaze. I’ve felt at times that the elements are a gift to me when I need it most. The first snowfall, rains and storms. Thunder… anyway some of instances when things happened to me. After a breakup with some toxic people I didn’t feel safe around I asked for protection. The next day one got fired and I didn’t have to see him anymore. This kind of thing happened several times. One time I just wanted a day off work so I wished a water pipe would break and flood the store. I got a call in the morning not to come in because a pipe in the water heater gave way and the store flooded. I know when people are not ok. I help if I can. I lucid dream alot. I can breathe under water and fly and bend my dreams to my will. I feel music and poetry deep enough that at times it makes me cry or smile in some secret inside joke between myself and the artist. There are times I can see the current in the wind and air around me. The nights are my time to feel alive. I like to stand outside and look for shooting stars. I have a way with children. I know how to talk to them and I understand what they need. Many times my empathy for people endes in hurt and destruction for me. I give too much and I get used up. Then I have to pick myself up and start over again.
i used to sing while i was walking through the woods and i would always lose my scarf to the wind, it would just spin around me though, and when im angry light bulbs tend to explode, so i always thought something was wrong with me, now i think i know why
I seem to think that every one of them applies to me as I sometimes get told off for being quiet when hiking and for not wearing shoes or socks.
Lmao when it said “personalities” for plants I started cringing from when I was talking to my plants and my mum walked into the room ahaha. She thought I was talking to my “boyfriend” ahaha, nope.
I noticed that I sometimes look at my carclock and see the time is my address. When I see my cat, I try to pet her, but I have this feeling she’s going to run away,and she does. When I imagine her coming to me, she does. I believe that I’ve got the magic in me.
Ironiclly all apply to me but only in last couple years since my Moms death…Im an empath and i call myself the “Love Sponge”…Love n Light Beautiful Souls❤
Hi,my name is Rose and I looked this up because when I was eight years old I went out side and I started to sing.it was a very hot summer day not a cloud in the sky and I was sent to do wood work in the back.when I started to sing the wind started to blow the louder and higher my voice went the stronger it got,when I stopped so did the wind.could you seem to tell/explain how and why this happend.by the way it still happends today.and many of these things happen to me.
10 of 11 apply to me. I knew my brother would die. He did within 11 months of my prediction. I always seem to know when someone has died before they do. I have always been in tune with nature. Paranormal is a big part of who I am. I guess I need to work harder on my abilities.
I completely relate with Trinity’s comment the same things happen with me, but it was a little different. I always knew how hard/fast the wind was blowing and it was strange to me, then I believed that I had to say something to the wind and be kind because it has emotions too. I know it sounds weird since I also gave the wind many names and nicknames. I also see what’s going to happen before it happens (usually in dreams) and then something happens and I knew it was gonna happen.
Hello! I am wondering if anyone can provide me some guidance. I have had special powers and been aware of them my entire life. hat said, over the last 3 – 4 years I have been in a state of powerlessness, as if y powers have been stolen. I have been forced to deal with many very negative and evil people who have gone out of their way to cause me harm and I am wondering if that is the cause? It seems that no matter what I do I cannot regain my power, my strength, and have been traveling a very bad path where all decisions seem to be the incorrect ones causing me great struggle. How can I regain my power? Thank you!
Hello! Over the past few months I have been getting into wiccanology. I’ve only done a few sessions because the person who was teaching me isn’t really as passionate as I am. Last night I was arguing with my boyfriend and I unplugged my vacuum. When I did it sparked up and the power blew out in my room and bathroom. I also can sense and see spirits. I usually see them from the corner of my eye for about half a second. I can usually sense their energy though. I can quickly feel the mood/ atmosphere when I walk into a room. I also have dreams that come true, and I can quickly tell when a person is lying. Can someone tell me what these things mean. I’m trying to do more research.
All of those lead to me and i love animals and just old stuff. When i walk through the bush i feel so free but i always feel like some one is watching me. I have done other quizzes and they said i have but i still dont no what they are but i think it is fire because i can move smoke buy my eyes and fire by hand
I’m lost in my job even though I know how it all works. I dream and imagine all the time of my Possable ability to perform magic. I get frustrated around people as a whole. And feel isolated when I’m with groups of people. I feel out of touch with this modern world. But I can’t detach cause I care for my family as much. What do I do? How do I learn to use these innate abilities? And satisfied the financial support they need. In a bind. But feel the pull every day. Stress is high and sooner or later the strain will be to much.
I’ve Traveled out of body alot. When not thinking about it I’ve sunk my feet into side walks or roads. And no, they were not just poured. I see ghost often. For example I saw my grandma the night she died. I stayed at a random persons house after a party not long ago. In the middle of the night I felt a shock which is normal when ghost touch me. Anyway woke up to a faceless woman with long dark hair leaning over me. I yelled. Theguy who own the house heard it asked what was going on. I explained and his face was of shock. He told me his mother blew her face off with a shotgun years before. So idk. About magic but my life is strange.
I think that I have a power.. the power to clone small objects I did it twice but dont know how I did it I’m so confused tonight 2019 I made a lighter appear from under my arm and it was the same color of my lighter I was already holding
last one was for sure me.
I have all of those things happen to me
Ok so im new to this and I just decided to look up.on a few things an I be famed if some of this info is spot on!!! Being barefoot in nature, just being in nature, thinking of someone then them calling me or ringing the doorbell, knowing an feeling cats energy, specific shades of color… all of it speaks to me!! Interested in seein can I use any of this to my advantage in mankind a difference in lives of others or my self for that matter!?!?
In dreams I hear beautiful melodies but waking up I forget the same relates to poems though i recorded few. I know naturally different plants, animals..etc their potential uses even spells or gesture either physical or mind wisper. Lastly I usually have this very disturbing dream of an old scary hospital in a few times, I remeber the same hospital but settings.. pls help me.
As soon as i finished reading and looked up it was 12:34 lol
As soon as i finished reading and looked up it was 12:34 lol
So weird
All of those applied to me I felt different after reading this
About half of these apply to me but I somehow can manipulate dice, so :/
I have no words honestly. In shock, all apply. Can some one please email me. Direction needed. I’ve always wondered why everyone thought I was so weird. Conversations I have are in such a deep creative sense of wonder. Feeling the energy or mood anyone is in. Always bothered me because anyone I talked with about it and the crazy vivid dreams of symbolic devastation….. relating the beauty and dynamics of nature with everyday life and situations to overcome. I’ve been secluded pushed out, because I’m crazy! Is this stuff true? I’ve been believing in Jesus. The Bible speaks against this. So my question….. all this info became like a fresh breath and exhaling all that weight of misunderstandings. Please contact me.
What if about half of them apply and the other half don’t? Does that make me a …. half-witch?
My name is Avery i am 13 and i am looking for advise
I have an Aunt that says we come from a magical family ever since the age of 4 i have seen crazy thing like these shadow figures and then i hear whispers i told her about it and she said i probably have demonic gift what ever that means but what should i do about this and does this exist because all these signs apply to me and i think i might just be insane can you tell me please.
——————————–Avery
Um so I’m kinda all of the above and I can make the rain go harder and slower and I don’t know if it’s important or not but a couple of times I have entered limbo and astral projection I can also move some stuff with my thoughts
I have heard and responded to things people were thinking but never said aloud. I know it has made people uncomfortable. I can see auras but it’s not like what I have seen described elsewhere. I have predicted a lot of future things for people I am close to. I have seen things that disappeared days before being stolen. I had thought they had been put away because they had been broken.
Any book suggestions? Things that could help me? I don’t love walking in grass but I do love sunlight. I could spend my life laying in the sun even if under a blanket.
Hello,
I dabble in magic, and I believe that I have a few special abilities. Most of these apply to me and I feel different from everyone around me. I would love the opportunity to develop my abilities and enhance them. If there is anyone out there that can teach me how, I would appreciate it. If so, please contact me at: gapesackis@gmail.com
Thank you,
Pheonix.
SO number 7 had me actually laughing out loud. I have recently been sat down and told I am getting “out of control” with that thing i do.. now it has occurred to me in the past that this was a road I was supposed to take and I think I got overwhelmed and turned my back and need help getting that door open again. I know I sound crazy, but its like at some point in my life i got scared and shut a “door” and can’t to get it open more than a trickle. I would love to talk to someone that might be able to talk to me. I can usually figure things out on my own if i have the right person to bounce my ideas off of.
Totally amazing I don’t know what it is but I relate to at least 10 of the 11 where do I go from here,thought being a cook a nurse was my path in life but find myself writing this message to you will you please guide me the way if this is what mother nature would love x
I got ten. Trinity, I think I can control the weather as well. When I was about five, I used to swing on my maple tree. I had to stand on a little tippy ladder to reach. The wind was so strong, it was going to knock the ladder over, so I told it to stop, and it did. I can also control the weather with my emotions. When I’m happy it’s sunny, when I’m sad it’s rainy, when I’m mad it’s stormy, etc. Today I saw a chipmunk. I knew that if I took a step forward or squatted down it would run away. But if I clicked and said “Hi buddy” in a soft tone it would approach. And it did.
