Quiz: What Kind of Witch Are You?

This quiz takes a unique approach to helping you find your particular path in the Craft.

No one fits perfectly into any one of the following profiles, and this list of profiles is not meant to be exhaustive. 

You may find you fall into more than one category—or even see parts of yourself in all of them.  Rather than trying to pigeonhole yourself into any one specific category, think of this quiz as a general guide to help you figure out which aspects of the Craft resonate with you the most.  At the end, I listed some suggestions for further exploration depending on your answers.

quiz what kind of witch are you

There’s no need to click on your answers.  Simply read through the questions and get a gist for the number you get most often (mostly 1s, mostly 2s, ect).  Then scroll to the bottom to view your results.

The goal is not to typecast yourself, but to draw out and explore different aspects of the Craft in you.

The Sea Witch (Mostly 1’s)

are you a sea witch

You feel a magnetic pull to the ocean and the Element of Water.

Though staying afloat in the rough waters of your life sometimes means riding strong currents, your spiritual world brims with intense, profoundly insightful revelations that you often keep to yourself.

Try keeping a paper Book of Shadows to record the “changing tides” of your inner world.

Consider visiting the ocean during the off season for a more private beach experience and better opportunity to conduct rituals away from prying eyes.

Maintain a sea witch altar to harness the power of the ocean and bring it indoors.

Play sounds of the ocean during your meditations or rituals to get your “beach fix,” especially if you live far away from the nearest shore.

Hedge Witches make lovely companions for the Sea Witch as they tend to usher in a sense of grounded-ness and stability.

Hedge Witch/Green Witch (Mostly 2’s)

are you a green witch

Everyone knows you were born with a “green thumb.”  You feel a special connection to the Element of Earth and take particular satisfaction in making things grow—-in the garden, and in life.

You feel silly admitting it, but your efforts in the garden are so heartfelt, you sometimes experience a twinging sense of loss if a treasured  plant doesn’t make it through the growing seasons.  You may even design an elaborate garden blessing ritual to welcome good vibes into your planting beds.

Your realistic approach to magick makes you solidly grounded in reality, and your like-minded friends respect you for it.

The winter months are the hardest for you, especially if the weather forces you to skip your otherwise regular nature walks.

To nourish your earthy vibes during the colder months, try working with your stock of dried herbs to make herbal cold remedies or combine your knowledge of witchcraft with your knowledge of plants to create magically-infused homemade bath and body products.

The Mind/Body Witch (Mostly 3s)

are you a mind body witch

With a well-worn yoga mat and a bookshelf groaning under the weight your vast personal library, you intuitively sense the inseparable link of mind and body.

Your friends describe you as a “thinker,” and you often engage them in thoughtful conversations about spirituality.  You have a special ability to debate ideas without offending or alienating people who disagree with you.

Whether perfecting your downward dog or learning strong breath control, mastering the physical plane as it relates to realm of the mind makes up a big part of your journey.

You may have tried fasting for spiritual reasons or made natural childbirth a goal during pregnancy.

Expand on your special gift for uniting (or, more accurately reuniting) the mind, body & soul.  Try a dance form that encourages spiritual expression (see Belly Dance for Pagans) or join a meditation group and use your strong cerebral awareness to connect with others.

Consider using your special gift to align body and mind by getting licensed as a midwife or try exploring hypnotherapy.

The Urban Witch (Mostly 4s)

are you an urban witch2

Whether or not you call a major metropolitan home, bustling cities get your blood pumping—which, for you, works its own kind of magick.

In your coven or community, you are the most likely to have stepped “out of the broom closet” to publicly acknowledge you practice the metaphysical arts.

And why not?  After all, you tend to surround yourself with people who are quirky and open-minded.  Your own esoteric interests sometimes even seem vanilla by comparison.

The challenges of practicing a nature-centered religion in a major city sometimes frustrate you, but you work around them with simple adaptations, like creating a window garden to cultivate herbs or taking advantage of the abundant temples and diversity around you.

The Shadow Witch (Mostly 5’s)

are you a shadow witch

While others misinterpret your tendency to retreat to the shadows in contemplation as moody, those who know you best appreciate your intrinsic sense of mystery.

You understand that darkness has a place in spiritual life.  Rather than fearing it, you embrace it and recognize that without it, light has no contrast.

Your natural curiosity and fearlessness draw you to exploring spiritual matters that other, less bold witches shy away from.  While you respect the risks of experimentation, ghost hunting, the Ouiji board and other related subjects appeal to your adventurous tendencies.

Consider exploring spiritualism to nurture your curiosity about the afterlife with people who understand this instinct.

Your luminous optimism brightens any room you walk into.  The  light that shines out of you draws others in and encourages them to gather around you like a bonfire.

You often find yourself in leadership roles because you appear transparent to those around you and that inspires trust.   Your gift for bringing people together is best used to organize them for a good cause.

This powerful combination of ambition and the ability meet the minds of even deeply divided people uniquely qualifies you for public service in your spiritual community—–but only if you can stay humble and keep your ego in check.

Magickally, you’ve never quite been satisfied with the heavy emphasis of modern witchcraft, the moon and the seemingly lopsided role of solar energy in ritual.  Try exploring sun magick.  You may find it more satisfying.

Particularly, your “sunny” optimism makes you well-suited to the art of joy spells and spells to banish depression.

You often feel tempted to rely only on your own judgement, but your powers are fullest when you keep the wise counsel of others.  The Mind/Body Witch makes a wonderful companion for you in business and charity work.

      1. So I’m mostly a solar witch with hedge witch edge and a dash of shadow witch? That feel fitting and well balanced, but I felt some witch things were missing in this quiz; tarot, dance, stones/crystals, lovemaking, familiars, medicine, etc.

      2. I’m stunned that this was mostly accurate. It even predicted a Goddess I feel has been close to me. I’ve always wanted to fight the shadow witch in me, but I can’t. Unfortunately living in all light isn’t for me.

        1. I got sea witch and solar I think I live in Amarillo Texas if anyone could help me id associate it. I’ve tried before in corpus christi Texas but I didn’t like it too many people not taking things seriously like dragon ball z… idk if y’all remember that cartoon but that’s what the kids were doing

  1. Equal mix of Sea Witch and Shadow Witch, which is amazingly in line with my personality. Hell, even my alias is Croatian for “Shadow Siren”.

  2. I’m drawn to all of them, to some extent! And unsurprisingly my answers were a total mix, though 2’s, 5’s and 6’s probably featured most 🙂 I’d never heard of solar powered witchcraft & sun magick before, that really appeals to me (even though I love darkness too), so thanks for the information! 🙂

  3. I got hedge witch with shadow! What a great quiz! I even made an entry about it in my grimoire. I’d love to take a look at the pinterest boards though, not sure if that’s on my side or yours 🙁

  4. i got urban witch and shadow witch, i love the dark and especially would want to be living urban sometime in the future but that depends on how the social life treats me for the next three years of my high school career. maybe ill move to Ireland. go to my Irish roots

  5. Took the quiz again and came out with a combination, Green Witch and The Urban Witch. I can understand those two better than the first time I took the test.

  6. This was a fun quiz. And I haven’t seen too many posts about solar magic before. Neato!🤓
    My results were primary Mind/Body Witch, with strong leanings of both Shadow & Hedge Witch. ☺️And that definitely describes me quite accurately! I love exploring the mind/body/spirit connection, delving into the shadows of existence, and puttering around with herbs and nature.
    Delightful😊

  7. I came out as a green witch. I always loved nature and sometimes I also loved the sea, or any other body of water. Just about every witch test I came out as a green witch, so that’s it. No more tests, I AM A GREEN WITCH!!!
