In every witch’s journey, whether you walk the path of the wild woman, the hedge rider, the kitchen witch, or the intuitive mystic, there comes a moment when you feel the pull toward something deeper. A whisper in your bones. A nudge in your chest. A knowing you can’t quite name. That whisper? That pull? That’s your true north. Your soul’s compass, pointing you toward your most authentic, magical self.
But what exactly is a person’s “true north,” and how do you find yours on the winding, spiraling path of spiritual awakening?
Let’s explore.
What is your “True North”?
Your true north is the internal compass that leads you toward your purpose, your authenticity, and your soul’s deepest calling. It’s not about who the world told you to be, it’s who you really are in your spirit, your energy, and your magic.
It is made of:
Authenticity
The raw, unfiltered version of you—your magic, your shadows, your intuition, and your truth.
Life Purpose
The big “why” behind your path. What you’re here to learn, do, heal, or create.
Core Values
The principles that shape your spiritual and mundane life: love, freedom, empowerment, connection to nature, or witchy sovereignty.
Inner Wisdom
The voice of your intuition, guides, ancestors, and higher self.
Fulfillment
That grounded, soul-deep sense of “yes” when you’re living in alignment. It is the direction that always feels like coming home.
How to discover your true north
Finding your true north is less about searching outside yourself and more about journeying within. Your spiritual path already holds the breadcrumbs…you simply follow them back to yourself.
Here’s how to begin:
Listen to your inner world
Your soul is always speaking; you just have to slow down enough to hear it.
-
Journal your thoughts, dreams, and intuitive hits.
-
Meditate or journey to quiet the noise around you.
-
Explore shadow work to reclaim the parts of yourself you’ve buried.
Your inner landscape is your sacred map.
Follow the pull of your intuition
Witches are built to sense, feel, and know.
-
Trust your gut sensations.
-
Notice what feels expansive vs. what feels heavy.
-
Use divination, tarot, runes, and pendulums to interpret the whispers of your higher self.
Your intuition is never wrong. It’s simply quiet.
Explore different aspects of your path
Your craft is allowed to be fluid, eclectic, and ever-evolving.
-
Study spiritual traditions that resonate with your soul.
-
Experiment with energy work, divination, plant magic, or ancestral connection.
-
Let yourself be guided by curiosity and wonder.
Your true north often reveals itself through what you feel drawn to again and again.
Embrace radical authenticity
Your magic thrives when you stop apologizing for who you are.
-
Release past belief systems that no longer serve you.
-
Step into the wild woman, the intuitive, the healer, the witch within.
-
Choose alignment over approval.
Your true north aligns with the truest version of you—not the polite, palatable, or expected one.
Connect with spirit and the natural world
Nature reflects your true north in ways you may not expect.
-
Sit with trees.
-
Walk barefoot on the earth.
-
Call on your spirit guides, ancestors, and the land itself.
Let the wind speak.
>Let the fire warm.
>Let the ancestors remind you of the path you’ve always known.
6. Bring Magic into Your Everyday Life
Your true north isn’t just found in rituals—it appears in the way you live.
-
Act with intention.
-
Practice daily mindfulness.
-
Infuse your life with joy, kindness, and small magic.
When your life aligns with your spirit, your true north becomes clear.
Your true north is already within you
It isn’t a destination; it’s a remembering.
A returning.
A re-rooting.
A reclaiming of the self you were born to be.
Every spell you cast, every intuitive whisper you follow, every belief you shed brings you closer to that alignment.
You don’t need to chase your true north.
You simply need to listen to your soul, trust your magic, and walk your path with intention.
Because your true north?
It’s you.
It’s always been you.
