The six magical paths

Seven questions decide your magical path. Each one comes with its own traits, weakness and epithet for your name.

  • The Hedge Witch personality card: a witch in a pointed hat carrying a basket of herbs beside a cottage with glowing windows

    The Hedge Witch or Wizard

    Your garden knows all your secrets.

    You brew remedies, talk to your plants and always know which herb mends which heartbreak. Villages trust you, and the wise never forget to thank you.

    Initiated 1650–1720
  • The Storm Witch personality card: a hooded witch raising a staff struck by lightning above a stormy sea

    The Storm Witch or Wizard

    You don't follow the weather. You start it.

    Your magic is loud, fast and impossible to ignore. When you are calm the skies are clear, and when you are not, everyone suddenly remembers an umbrella.

    Initiated 1700–1780
  • The Star Witch personality card: a witch in a pointed hat tracing a constellation with a wand and holding a star chart

    The Star Witch or Wizard

    The sky told you this would happen.

    You read the stars the way other people read the news. Your predictions are unsettlingly accurate, and you are far too polite to say I told you so. Mostly.

    Initiated 1550–1620
  • The Raven Witch personality card: a hooded witch with a lantern and a raven on her shoulder before a full moon and gravestones

    The Raven Witch or Wizard

    The crows tell you everything.

    You talk to ravens, listen to old graveyards and are not remotely afraid of the dark. Some call you spooky. You call it being well informed.

    Initiated 1600–1680
  • The Mirror Witch personality card: a witch in a pointed hat reaching towards a golden mirror between velvet curtains

    The Mirror Witch or Wizard

    Nothing about you is quite what it seems.

    Illusion is your art. You can make a room fall silent with a single trick and leave before anyone works out how you did it.

    Initiated 1780–1850
  • The Rune Witch personality card: a hooded witch with a glowing staff and floating runes under the northern lights

    The Rune Witch or Wizard

    Every word you write is a lock or a key.

    You study the oldest symbols ever carved and you know exactly what each one does. Your wards are unbreakable, and so, sadly, is your handwriting.

    Initiated 1400–1500

Witch or Wizard trials and ranks

Your rank depends on two things: the trial you choose and how many of its lore questions you answer correctly. The personality questions decide your magical path, never your rank. Only the hard trial can reach the two highest ranks.

About the witch or wizard quiz

This witch and wizard personality quiz has two parts. Seven questions about your spells, tools and temper decide which of the six magical paths you follow. Then you choose a trial on real witch lore, from Circe and Baba Yaga to the Salem and Pendle witch trials. The harder the trial and the more answers you get right, the higher your rank in the coven and the more powerful your witch or wizard name.

Want a name first? Try the witch or wizard name generator. Not sure this is your creature? Take the which creature are you quiz.

Looking for a witchy gift? A personalised Diploma of Witchcraft or Wizardry makes a perfect present: take the quiz with their name and print it the same day. See our gift ideas.

The real lore behind the trial

The lore questions come from real folklore, history and literature. Read the stories behind them before you choose the hard trial: Types of Witches in European Folklore, The European Witch Trials and Walpurgis Night and the Witch Fires of Central Europe. More in the Lore Library.
