About This Quiz

Legends and lore about witches have been passed down for generations. The stories aren't all bubbling cauldrons and flying broomsticks, either—many of them are about real-life healers, heroes and martyrs. From history's most famous witches to everyone's favorite fictional ones, these crafty, magical people remain some of the most inspiring that walk (or fly) across the earth. And since witches seem to run in families, you very well may have some witch blood inside of you.

Whether you like the Wicked Witch of the West, the Hocus Pocus witches, or Hermione Granger, there's a witch out there for everyone. These strong, powerful women levitate and cast spells, dance under the moonlight, and conduct rituals that reverberate through the planet. Who wouldn't want to be a little like them?

Well, you just might have more in common with witches than you think. When you answer the following questions about your witchy sensibilities, you can learn just how much of a witch you are deep down. If you're a natural-born witch, all you need to do is start building your altar and concocting some potions. Now, burn some sandalwood and visualize your witchiest wishes, because it's time to start the quiz. May the force bewitch you!
