ArchivesOff-topic quiz (but fun, anyway!) "Are You a Witch"?
This is the TEST OF THE 13 FACTORS from Anton LaVey's book titled: *The Satanic Witch*. It's basically an aptitude test in witchery. Take it if you... (maniacal cackle)... DARE!
Oh yeah, there's a trick to the test, too. Only 13 out of the following 20 questions have any valid significance. The other seven have no bearing on your predisposition to being a witch. Choose the questions you will answer carefully, as only 13 count for possible answers. After you have decided which questions you are going to answer, post the number of the question and either "yes" or "no" next to it. I'll come back and give you your results.
REMEMBER: Choose ONLY 13 questions out of the 20 below to answer. Don't ask for explanations of the questions before choosing -- you should have a "gut feeling" as to the possible significance (or insignificance) of each question before you choose (or don't choose) to answer.
1. Have others ever referred to you as a witch?
2. Do you have an ancestor or relative who was or is a witch?
3. Are you better off today than you were a year ago?
4. Do you feel you have supernatural forces working against you?
5. Is black your favorite color?
6. Do others seek out your company without your trying?
7. Do you ever have fits of jealousy?
8. Have you experienced what you would consider E.S.P.?
9. Are you strict in your attention to feminine hygiene? (For guys, make it "masculine hygiene".)
10. Do you find others going along with what you want of them?
11. Were your born under any of these signs: Leo, Scorpio, Pisces?
12. Have you ever been considered "cheap"?
13. Have you experienced anything of a mystical nature while using drugs?
14. Do you have an interest in movies and TV shows with an occult theme?
15. Do you often wear undergarments that are black in color or of a flashy nature?
16. Are you accomplished in commonplace skills?
17. Would you consider yourself to be intellectual?
18. Is there anything you would fear as a consequence of your practice of applied witchery?
19. Do you find that men often make passes at you? (For guys: Do you find that women often come on to you?)
20. Do you wear any kind of amulet or charm that has occult significance?

ANSWERS to the "Test of the 13 Factors"
Okay, once again, here in descending order are the comparative results for all who took Anton LaVey's "Test of the 13 Factors":
4 - Miyoushi
5 - Lilith, Mike C, Phyllis
6 - Gia Nadine, 'Cole, Nana, Melissa, Daividh
7 - Andrea
8 - Pavlos
9 - Nanaea
And here are the answers:
1. Have others ever referred to you as a witch?
YES. If you are a genuine witch, others will notice.
2. Do you have an ancestor or relative who was or is a witch?
INSIGNIFICANT. Anton LaVey wrote: "The most common credential used by modern witches is inherited ability, followed closely by 'proper' astrological signs." And, "Pedigrees are of questionable importance when the dog is sleeping while the burglar makes off with the silver... Likewise, it is useless to have a grandmother who read tea leaves and a Scorpio rising in your chart" if you can't get and keep the things in life that you want.
3. Are you better off today than you were a year ago?
YES. Anton wrote: "In any pursuit which deals with talent as an important factor towards success, academic or official licensing is of secondary importance. What is of prime importance is the *result* which is obtained through the use of the medium and how it is received by those to whom it is directed."
4. Do you feel you have supernatural forces working against you?
NO. See #18.
5. Is black your favorite color?
INSIGNIFICANT. Speaking strictly from a fashion viewpoint, Anton wrote: "If you are not actually fat, light colors are always sexier than dark ones, as they show more of the contours of your body. Most witches make the mistake of assuming black to be the standard for all clothing."
6. Do others seek out your company without your trying?
YES. Genuine witches have a natural magnetism and seductiveness.
7. Do you ever have fits of jealousy?
YES. All human beings experience jealousy. The self-aware ones admit it. A genuine witch is self-aware.
8. Have you experienced what you would consider E.S.P.?

Okay, I'm hitting this late, but haven't read the answers (you'll have to trust me on this. Satanic trust - HA!)
(1. No, altho it would beat some of the alternatives.)
2. No.
(3. Yes.)
4. Sometimes.
(5. No.)
6. No. Who has time anyway?
7. Yes. Who doesn't?
8. Yes. I can see into the minds of traffic cops (no tix in 30 years, and I've got a heavy foot and no radar detector).
9. Feminine hygiene, yes (sniff, sniff). Male hygiene, ehhh?
10. Damn right. That's why they call what I do "management".
(11. Leo.)
(12. The ancestry is Scottish, and the correct term is "thrifty", but yes.)
13. Yes, but I never exhaled...
14. Sure. Beats fookin "reality" shows.
(15. No, unless you consider white Fruit of the Looms "flashy". My kids don't.)
16. Pretty much. Comes from growing up in Injun Territory before the telegraph lines came thru.
(17. Yes, but dwelling on past glories is a curse of the aging.)
18. Most people around here, right or wrong, would consider male witchery as gayesque. ALL men with no innate fashion sense fear that label. (That's a "Yes")
19. See #6.
20. Yes. I have a Scottish "fisher's glamour" talisman I wear that my grnadfather gave me. It's a round metal donut-shaped disc worn as a pendant with significant colored groups of 3 dots at the four compass points. It was supposed to get a North Sea fisherman back to port safely. He said no one in our family way back who wore one like it was ever lost at sea (HIS father was a fisherman, and so on back for hundreds of years).
There. Ignore the answers with parens around the whole thing, number an all.

2. Do you have an ancestor or relative who was or is a witch? Not that they would admit to, unless you count my Khazar ancestors.
3. Are you better off today than you were a year ago? Yes and no. I'm out of my previous domicile...
4. Do you feel you have supernatural forces working against you? Sometimes.
5. Is black your favorite color? In cats. ;)
6. Do others seek out your company without your trying? GODDESS YES! Many two interns short of a scandal, iykwim.
7. Do you ever have fits of jealousy? Yes, unfortunately.
8. Have you experienced what you would consider E.S.P.? I'm an empath.

11. Were your born under any of these signs: Leo, Scorpio, Pisces? Nope, Moonchild (cancer).
12. Have you ever been considered "cheap"? Alas, yes. By my siblings.
13. Have you experienced anything of a mystical nature while using drugs? I don't do drugs, but I have OOB'ed in my Relaxation & Meditation class. Does that count?
14. Do you have an interest in movies and TV shows with an occult theme? Not really.

18. Is there anything you would fear as a consequence of your practice of applied witchery? Major repercussions such as "rebound effect".
19. Do you find that men often make passes at you? (For guys: Do you find that women often come on to you?) See Question #6.
20. Do you wear any kind of amulet or charm that has occult significance? Jewitch pentacle and a "feather pentacle" (a pentacle where the points are "feathers", not like other pentacles).

Hey, I noticed that you're posting from Slovenia. Cool! Perhaps you can provide the site with a few more Slovene names, as we currently only have two.

Hi! Here are some Slovene names. However, I don`t have so much knowledge in ethymology as you guys have, so some (most of them, actually) are lacking explanation.
masculine: Andrej (Andrew), Borut, Domen, Gorazd, Jernej, Jure (George), Klemen (Clement), Pavel (Paul), Rok (Rocco), Tadej (Thaddeus), Janez (John), Tilen (Giles), Bojan
feminine: Alenka, Alja, Ajda (buckwheat), Brina, Janja, Majda, Marjeta (maybe form of Marrietta, but it also means daisy in slovene), Marija (Mary), Mojca, Tonka (short from Antonia), Vida, Vesna (in slavic mythology this was the godess of spring), Jasna (Clara)
Nana, almost-a-witch :)

Very fine contribution to the site, Nana! :)

I notice from your e-mail that your name is Natasa Karas.
1. An anagram of Natasa is Satana.
2. Karas was the name of the priest on "The Exorcist".
3, You are quite possibly of Greek stock.
That makes you one by my set of rules and fetishes :PPP

Everyone's Results!
Okay, before I post your results, bear in mind that this quiz represents Anton LaVey's concept of witchery -- and is heavily influenced by his personal fetishes. I won't comment on anyone's individual answers yet, in case anyone else wants to take the quiz. Don't want to spoil it for them. :)
Here is how Anton interpreted the scores: "If you have a score of 7 to 9 correct answers, there is hope for you as a competent witch. If you scored 10 to 12, you are well on your way to sorcery, and if you got all 13 possible answers correct, you are truly gifted."
Here are everyone's scores, in ascending order:
4 - Miyoushi
5 - Lilith & Mike C
6 - Gia Nadine & 'Cole
7 - Andrea
8 - Pavlos
9 - Nanaea

2. YES; my grand-mother was a master casting-off ailments resulting from "the evil eye". Also my evil great-uncle Panayotis shot his mother dead in the 1920s during ritualistic target-practising and was eventualy stabbed by a delirious Egyptian who belived that he was hocus-pocusing his wife.
3. YES -- err at least until last Saturday morning when I almost totalled my car :P
4. NO
5. NO It is my favorite non-color, however.
6. YES
7. NO; Envy yes. Envy is bond between the hopeful and the damned.
8. YES...
10. YES; with the exception of my boss during bonus-time.
12. YES, but only by cheap people.
14. YES; I bought the axe held by Nicholson in "The Shining" at Sotheby's and had it mounted in my daughter's play-room.
18. NO; Ares would protect me.

Can I sneak in here too;)?
1. Have others ever referred to you as a witch?
Yes. (In more than one sense of the word, I'm sure.)
2. Do you have an ancestor or relative who was or is a witch?
Yes. Well, sort of. Two of my great-aunts are "curanderas", which I always have trouble explaining, but I guess "witch doctor" is sort of the best way i can describe it. They use herbalism, divination, and a bunch of other stuff for healing purposes. They also use some aspects of Santería, I think, which kind of runs rampant throughout my extended family.
3. Are you better off today than you were a year ago?
Absolutely.
6. Do others seek out your company without your trying?
Yes. Not always a good thing;).
8. Have you experienced what you would consider E.S.P.?
Yes, as much as I hate to admit it. Things that defy logic drive me crazy;). I have this nasty habit of dreaming about places before I visit them, or people before I meet them, and then finding out that my dream was an accurate representation of the real deal. I never mention it, though--I have trouble accepting this myself and I can't imagine trying to explain it to someone else.
7. Do you ever have fits of jealousy?
Sigh. I try to keep 'em to the barest minimum...but yeah, I do:(.
9. Are you strict in your attention to feminine hygiene? (For guys, make it "masculine hygiene".)
Tee-hee. Yes.
10. Do you find others going along with what you want of them?
Yes, often. And I'll find myself wondering why, because I have non-existent persuasive skills.
11. Were your born under any of these signs: Leo, Scorpio, Pisces?
Nope.
12. Have you ever been considered "cheap"?
No, not that I'm aware of.
17. Would you consider yourself to be intellectual?
Sure.
19. Do you find that men often make passes at you? (For guys: Do you find that women often come on to you?)
Ummm...yes. Scary,frightfully unappealing types, mostly, but the answer is still yes.
20. Do you wear any kind of amulet or charm that has occult significance?
I have a likeness of the Aztec goddess Coatlicue tatooed on my lower back; does that count? Oh, and sometimes I wear one of those pendants with a mustard seed inside, but I'm not sure if that qualifies as "occult".
:) Melissa

Oops...not *that* much trouble.
1. Have others ever referred to you as a witch?
Yes, actually. Some boy in my English class started randomly saying that I was a witch (yes, he meant the occult type, not the politer version of female dog). And other people have said things like "You're quiet and mysterious" (quiet, yes, except w/my friends...mysterious, I wish). Quite bizarre. Am I making sense?
2. Do you have an ancestor or relative who was or is a witch?
Not sure. Sorry!
3. Are you better off today than you were a year ago?
Sort of. Hard question.
4. Do you feel you have supernatural forces working against you?
I have been known to be paranoid...but usually I don't believe in the supernatural. Which probably means I'm *not* a witch...
5. Is black your favorite color?
No, silver. Black is second.
6. Do others seek out your company without your trying?
Not really...
7. Do you ever have fits of jealousy?
Extremely rarely.
8. Have you experienced what you would consider E.S.P.?
No.
9. Are you strict in your attention to feminine hygiene? (For guys, make it "masculine hygiene".)
Hehe. Yes.
10. Do you find others going along with what you want of them?
Depends on who! I'm not really sure.
11. Were your born under any of these signs: Leo, Scorpio, Pisces?
Leo.
12. Have you ever been considered "cheap"?
Er...I have no idea.
13. Have you experienced anything of a mystical nature while using drugs?
Hey, I 'just said no'! This doesn't apply!
14. Do you have an interest in movies and TV shows with an occult theme?
Yes.
15. Do you often wear undergarments that are black in color or of a flashy nature?
Sometimes...I'm guessing this is one of the unimportant ones.
16. Are you accomplished in commonplace skills?
Yeah, I think. Are typing, writing, drawing, music, and other art things considered commonplace skills? Those are the sort of things my skills lie in.
17. Would you consider yourself to be intellectual?

LOL! Lilith...
You were only supposed to select 13 questions out of 20 to answer. Just go back and delete 7 of those questions which you feel have no bearing on witchiness whatsoever. That's part of the test! :)
Heheh, "Co-Empress of Hell". I like that. :)

18. Is there anything you would fear as a consequence of your practice of applied witchery?
Yeah...if I thought supernatural/gods existed, I would be concerned about using witchcraft. Wouldn't want to hurt anyone. And "The Craft" creeped me out...
19. Do you find that men often make passes at you? (For guys: Do you find that women often come on to you?)
No, for several reasons...such as I'm in the high school GSA...(gay/straight alliance) and no one notices the "straight" part! Meh.
