 It's me, Ginny Metherall, I fourth generation witch. I learnt my witchery literally at my mother's knee. She taught me how to tie my shoelaces, how to bake a cake, how to read tea leaves. So I grew up thinking this is normal. And I still do actually. Now I've been seeing on the internet a lot recently these signs that you are a witch. And there's several videos on YouTube and some TikToks all about it. And in fact I did do one on my Instagram because it made me laugh and I thought it was fun. But then it got me thinking, is this true? And would I qualify? So I've searched out the greatest meme. And I think it's this one from Atcrafting Witch that signs that you are a witch are as follows. I thought we'd have a look and see if I qualify because I actually don't think I do. Anyway. So let's begin. So the first one of this post is that animals are attracted to you. I don't think animals are attracted to me any more than I'm attracted to them. I mean I love animals and I have a lot of animals. At the moment we have five beautiful bouncing puppies who I play with continuously and on a daily basis until they're going to go to their new homes. And I love and adore them. Does that make me a witch or does that just make me someone who's got some puppies? I think so. Anyway. I didn't qualify as that one. So the second one on this list is that you are an empath and feel drawn to healing others. Now I cannot heal to save my life. It is not my strength. I understand the principle. I understand how it works. It's just that I'm not very good at it. I mean I can do a basic healing, basic, but you're far better off going to your doctor than coming to me. So no, I can't heal people. It is not something that I am good at. However, the empath bit, meaning that I can pick up other people's emotions like that. Yes, that I do have. I can clearly feel and see emotions. And so if that makes me an empath, yeah, I've got half this sign. So therefore I'm half a witch according to that sign. So that's quite good. So I can't qualify there. So what is empathy though? For example, I had a friend of mine whose father died and she sat and cried in her kitchen. And I cried with her because I completely felt her pain. And that pain affected me and made me cry. So I was empathising with her. I don't think that that makes me a witch though. I think that makes you a human being. Yes, I would say that makes you human. Number three, you feel drawn to collecting things like shells and crystals. So I collected shells as you may know from my previous videos. I did have a collection of hagstones, which I had very kindly given to my subscribers. But my hagstone collection is now seriously depleted. I've only got one left. I don't think I've got two. I don't know. I think even my husband walks along and picks up stuff off the beach. If we're, doesn't everybody, you look, you like pretty things and pretty crystals. Does that make you a witch? I'm not drawn to massive crystals, but I am drawn to picking pretty things up off the beach. But surely that's everybody again. I use crystals. I use a pendulum crystal in my day-to-day witchery. Four spells I might add in some crystals, but I'm not hugely drawn to them. I'm more drawn to flowers and nature. But that's because I like gardening, because I'm middle-aged and I enjoy gardening. I like it in clubs too and dancing, but no one likes seeing a middle-aged woman dancing in a club. They think it's a bit odd. Don't get to go to them very often. Next one is you have an obsession with fairies as a child. Well, I did have an obsession. Not obsession. I had an interest in fairies and thoroughly believed in them. I still do. So does that make me a witch? I think it makes me, if they're not true, which is just fake news, then that just makes me slightly insane. And if they are true, then, well, I believe in something that actually exists. So I think believing in fairies doesn't make anybody anything, does it? I feel drawn to the moon. Do I? I like the moon. It's very pretty. I look at it. I notice when it's full. Does that mean I'm drawn to it? No. Not much as I'm drawn to the sun really. I think I like the sun more. I'm a real sun worshiper. You know, I love being outside and having the sun on my face and feeling it's warmth. I like the warmth. The moon's pretty enough. I don't think that makes me a witch either. So I'm not doing very well, am I? I don't think I am particularly drawn to the moon. I like the moon. I'm more drawn to the sun. Next one. You feel drawn to nature. Well, I like nature. Doesn't everybody though? Isn't that normal? Doesn't everybody like going outside? Because it's nice. To be fair, I do live in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a wood, surrounded by nature who I spend hours. Yes, so let's say I'm drawn to nature. But I don't think I'm drawn to nature. I think I just like living with nature. I am part of nature after all. As a child, you intuitively threw random things together and called it a potion. Yes, I did do that. But as my children do that still, they're always making potions. So my child used to get this potion. It's called Dragonweed, I think. And they used to get Dragonweed and cut it up and have it in pots festering around in their bedrooms. And all three of them did this. And it was just some reeds that they cut up. And I didn't know what they were doing. They did it for, you know, years. They made Dragonweed potion. So yes, I did do that. And the last one is you notice repeated patterns and numbers. I have never noticed repeated patterns and numbers. I think it's because I'm so quite blind. And I can't really see that well. And so I don't. I just can't see them. I can't really see anything from here to here. I'm slightly blind from this area to this area. So I can see far away, just. So I definitely don't notice patterns and numbers. According to this list, I think I don't qualify. So I don't see patterns and numbers. Am I drawn to nature? Well, yes. Okay, I'm going to say yes to that one. Am I an empath? Yes. Can I heal? Not really. Animals are attracted to me no more than any other person. No, no. I feel drawn to collecting shells and crystals. I picked up shells on the beach, but I then throw them away because they start to smell. So no, I don't think I qualify on that one. I have an obsession with fairies as a child. Yes, I did. Still do. I'm possibly one of the only people I know who still believes that there's fairies at the bottom of my garden. In fact, it's a niad at the bottom of my garden, but that's for another day. I feel drawn to the moon. No, I like the sun. I mean, I love the moon. I think it's beautiful and I look at it, but I don't feel drawn to it. So of all those signs of a witch, I think I've only qualified for believing in fairies at the bottom of my garden and being obsessed with fairies when I was young. I don't think that makes me a witch. So then what does make you a witch? Well, my opinion, and this is only mine. Everyone's different, you know, because I don't have that healing capability. My witchery is probably the fact that I can detect certain types of energy, bad energy normally, and get rid of them, which is when I say I am an exorcist. I understand that over there, that over that's a bad juju. I can grab that bad juju and cast it out. And that makes me a witch in that way. However, there's all sorts of other things. A friend of mine is very good at healing. So she is a healing which another friend of mine is extremely good at cooking, but because she puts her warmth and her love and her energy into the recipes she makes that she then feeds to her family, that is a spell in itself. And so that makes her a witch. Witchery is about the use and command of energy and or Prana. And my Prana is particularly good at one thing, and not particularly good at another. So everybody has Prana, which is your life force. Everybody has this energy. And what makes you a witch is how you understand how to use and change and divert and encourage that energy. If you put your love and energy and warmth into making whatever it is a sponge cake for your kids when they come home from school or for your mum on her birthday, then that is a spell because it's got your energy in it. That all is all spells are is learning energy. And I think that's what makes you a witch is understanding that the world is made up of energy. And I'll tell you how you can feel it if you walked into a room and there was a couple in there and they just been arguing, you would immediately know because you can feel the tension in that room. Now that is energy. That's what I'm talking about this life force, this Prana, we've all got it. That's how you use it. So everybody can do it. Everybody has this power. That's you and you and you and you and you and you. We all have this power. We all have this ability. I've signs that you're a witch are really easy. One, are you alive? Yeah, you probably wish them to do you have the courage to stand up to your convictions and believe that what you are feeling, which you can't prove is right. Are you willing to learn? And are you willing to unfetter your mind and your body from the constraints of this world and move in to the occult? Because that's what it is. It's looking at the occult. I'm not talking about Satanism here. The occult means the hidden. If you're very drawn to healing, people be drawn to healing. If you're very drawn to fairies, go and talk to them. If you're very drawn to lay lines, go and sit in one practice, practice, practice, practice makes perfect. You can't become Beyonce in singing. If you don't practice. So I really hope you enjoyed this video. And if you did, please give me a thumbs up and do subscribe. And I'll see you in my next one.
