How people believed you could find out if someone was a witch?

Generally speaking, someone who believes they are a witch will tell others. Or not. Telling people you are pagan/wiccan/witch is a personal choice. You have the option of not telling anyone, ever. If you want to know if your friend/child/spouse/family member/lover is a witch, ask them and make a point not to flip out if they do decided to tell you. Dont flip out if they dont tell you either.

What is the 5 ways people would see if you was a witch?

If they are psychic and just know things, if you tell someone, if you tell someone and they tell someone else, if you wear a sign that says I am a witch, or if you write it in a diary and someone finds it. There aren't any real signs to being a witch. Being a witch is only based upon belief. The word itself comes from the word Wicca, from Celtic terms. We are human, pure plain and simple. Hollywood did us no justice by spiraling the ideas into forces that don't exist as they explain it. Perhaps one day they will, but for now..... magick is subtle, it is spread through the universe and does what it does with or without spells. All that spells do is focus that force and give it an outlet on the off chance it is meant to work.
