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.

Today me and my family went out for dinner. I had a lot and got a bellyache which is when it started raining. It was only raining a bit but when we got home it started pouring !
I am intuitive and can see a person and know all their projection… and can deduct the real person beyond first appearance almost instantly…… I can write things about people then they appear quite quickly…. I understand that words are magic and programming… i often feel overwhelmed as i have no control… nor do i use this for my gain… to better my life
[…] do not mistake the diversity of the witching community as there are some physical signs of a […]
In my life parrots do attached to me, one day i was on my trip to NZ, at the zoo, this black to dark blue parrot looked at me and followed me on my every steps back and forth. I waited until this parrot bid me a bye so that I do not want to walk away first which would be bad feeling. I love rain! Especially thunderstorm which really inspired me. Many more stories to tell. Loved your article here.
Everyone has said I’m different I seem to have this strange connection to dogs and I’ve never liked any other color but green. Some people think it’s weird, but to me it’s perfectly normal to talk to animals.
My name is Devin I was born January 1st 2000 at 5:55am I’ve read through each of these and know for a fact I can do all I’ve been able to have moths fly onto me and be relaxed and take my energy its all of nature and people I can do it with I can read people the second I see them eve since I was young I was always conscious to this
Hey, I have no clue how to phrase this, but I am new to the world of believing that magic is more then just a warm feeling from a nice hug. I came across this article actually looking for a way to contact an author of magic based blogs and writings. Is there a way to contact the author to ask more in-depth explanations of these signs? Are there verying degrees of how these may manafest? And how should one react if these signs manafest in a way that is not containable? Asking hypothetically of course. I know that sounds very troll like but I swear, I’m just looking for a credible source on this crap that can answer a few hypotheticals and thats it. Any help finding someone would be greatly appreciated.
You have wolf eyes and there is a strong magical energy contained within you.
I tend to see! The future through dreams ! And I dreamed ! That the year 2020 is the eye of a beast !

I always have small flashes and nearly all the time usually the next day the small flash will actually happen even if it’s something wierd like a teacher knocking over a pen pot , also I seem to be able to I guess communicate with animals like mostly they will make a sound back , I know it is common but I said hello to a parrot once and it said hello back , it was not trained and was the first time it had ever spoke the owners were bewildered and I was too . This sound weird but it’s all true
I have OCD tendencies but I’m only picky about a few things. I also have dreams that I had when I was younger and some of them are of alien chips that me and my friends use that turn us into dogs or cats. I had a cat one and I actually want to be a cat. Can someone help me out?

I am drawn to metaphysical book stores, have a connection with animals and talk to plants and am sensitive to color.I suffer a lot emotionally so I don’t feel these gifts
Hi,sometime I can feel the power of wind when I focus on it,got my intuition right,sometimes I can even stop something in anger or feels wanting to see someone then they appears but still I feel like am half magical
Well, Thomas (left a comment in Dec. 2018) was right about his prediction. It’s March of 2020 and we are in the midst of a pandemic.
I have a lot of the gifts mentioned but,
The one thing I can do that I have researched and haven’t found any information on- I can sense people who have magical gifts.
It’s absolutely amazing!
Can you help me out please?
I can talk to animals, control the weather (I think), and I think I can control fire. I’m ALWAYS hot (Says my mom) but can NEVER feel it. Also, when I was 4 I put my hand on a flaming hot stove and couldn’t feel anything! My grandparents have a real fire and whenever they put it on, I feel extra energy.
I also think I can control water.
I’m an empath, I can feel people’s energy around me, I know who to stay away from, who to gravitate to, and who needs healing. I saw my grandma dead in a dream and woke up to her alive where I was able to mourn her as she was alive… months later she died..I understood. I have had dreams where I get subtle messages as, animals can talk, wonderlust, we are in the 4th dimension with in time and space, and I was shown the tree of life and a colorful fluid energy. Also … before the pandemic got to us … I was feeling very very bad and I didn’t know where this feeling was coming from cause my life was fine… I quit my job cause i thought I needed 2 months away and a week into my time away… the pandemic came to light. It’s weird.. just wanted to share. 11:11
I dream things like what we will do in a lesson and the next day it happens. i also feel a connection between objects and even have a crystal pendulum my self. i like being in nature and listening to the birds is my favorite thing. I also tend to talk to my dog allot once i asked him if he loves me and he nodded his head.
you might not believe this but it is all true i promise.

hey, ive seen my past lives, ive killed so many ppl and so much blood is on my hands, im afriad i might do it in this life too, i never wanted to kill, and in my past lives i end up killing the ppl closest to me, and i have all this power welling up inside of me, it burns me up, and im to weak to keep it in, whenever it gets let out something bad happens, and it scares me, pls help me
I can sense what animals are thinking.
I think I can also control wind.
And Whenever i think of a person I haven’t seen in a while they appear!!
Do you think I’m magical??
All of the things above are true for me. Also true, which may be partly attributed to white privilege, I walk away pretty much unscathed from everything. Even when actually injured, doctors tell me I healed faster than seen or when unexpected. I usually only suffer through my own inaction or through worry. If I lay my hands on others’ pains or worry, i can take them away.
Is it normal to have reoccurring dreams I mean their not normal I’ve been having them since I was 10 I think I remember them all which is weird because I have a horrible memory in one of them I was able to breath underwater and see dead relatives one of them had I had no previous knowledge of who they where and had to ask my grandmother if she was a real person is there something different about me
I can sense peoples emotions, I can see peoples souls by looking at their eyes and telling their hidden personalities, I can see and sense auras, I can sense when people think of me, I love all things magical and I really want to learn how to control the magic inside of me, I can see patterns easily and in everything, I can sense anyone’s next movements sometimes and I can tell when people are lying but I don’t have control of these abilities so I need to train them up
I always talk to plants and I have no idea why. I can feel presences in rooms and outdoors. Sometimes I can feel someone’s emotions by looking in their eyes or holding their hand. But I don’t know if it’s just me or if I do have abilities. Sometimes if I’m angry or sad the wind blows harder or it starts to rain but idk it could just be me thinking I could do this stuff. I 100% believe in magic abilities. But I’m not really sure if I have them
Hi so if possible I’ve been feeling strange lately when ever I read or watch things relating magic and not all things relating magic its only specific words gestures and actions I get a chill down my spine then I get goosebumps then I start getting cold then slowly a part of my body starts to hurt and I need to talk to some one because its getting worse every time it happens please email me if you can help th3blck@gmail.com
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! i have magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy @&$! those were so accurate. Especially the cat thing. That stereotype can’t be true right?! WOAHH
what if everything you said involves me in an aspect that I find all of this amazing this makes complete since to me now I would , love to learn more way more. my name is Johnathan Christopher Rogers. my facebook is faightful johnny please contact me.
Hey, I am Christian (Religion with Jewish family background) so I don’t really accept the work of magic, but I can certainly agree with other spiritual signs. I was wondering if you could tell me about some of the things that are happening to me. First, I see a lot of flashes, they always come true, in a matter of days. However after I see a flash or see it fulfilled I feel a little dizzy and lost. It’s like my mind doesn’t want to accept what is happening to me. Second, I constantly see repetitive times on the clock. One of which is 3:33 P.M. I always just think to myself that it’s 5 minutes away from my birthday. I was born 03/03/2008. Please don’t mind my age. I was at a crystal shop and I touched some pale green Fluorite. The stone shocked me. So, I ended up purchasing it. From time to time when I touch or play with the stone in my hands it will shock me or I feel a sort of tingle after I place it down on a surface. Third, I can tell myself to have a dream. My dreams are random, but some dreams repeat on a certain day of the year. The same dream, and when I have this certain dream, I sort of lose control of myself, I want to say something, do something but it’s like I freeze. Then there are times where I can take full control. I’ve read online this is called Lucid Dreaming. Fourth, I know my great grandmother (96) and my grandmother on my mother’s side (70’s) know how to read cards. My great grandmother I call her Babula can curse others. For REAL! She can use card reading for her good, and she always gets her way. However, I can sense that she is paying a huge price. Fifth, I wanted to talk to some angels or good spirits. I gained connection with them. I felt this force causing me to pull my head back. It was like someone was choking me and I couldn’t breathe. It hurt real bad. I was scared and I don’t know what I did wrong. However, The jewelry and stones I had one me during that time, all are out of my reach. The stone and necklace both fell behind my bed, I cannot reach it for the fact that it is pressed to the wall. I don’t know what is wrong with me, it is not normal. Also there is this very weird thing I can do. I was visiting my aunt in Europe for a few weeks she has this cat, who fell sick. The cat didn’t real want to bond with me, and i got annoyed with it easily. I started petting the cat gently and started singing in a language I didn’t understand. I can still talk in that language. The cat got better immediately and started being more attracted to me. My family all heard me sing to the cat, and all saw the result in the cats health. I was always in the cat’s presence. I haven’t visited Europe in 2-3 years now, the cat is getting worse without me around. I kind of feel linked with him, since I am always tired and sleepy like a cat. But that might just be my imagination. My father’s grandpa had perfect teeth until the day he died, like he told me that he could convince his teeth to stop hurting and stay healthy. Please help me better understand what is happening to me. My name is Rafaella and it means, (GOD HAS HEALED) thank you so much for your time! Please email me, I would appreciate it.
Soo…I have all these properties. And I’d like help from someone because I believe I may be causing weather to go crazy and electricity to fail, amongst other things. It’s weird and scary and I dont know how to control it and people think I’m some sort of freak.
