Have you ever felt like love, attraction, and energy between people just make sense to you? Like you can sense when something’s off in a relationship, or you know exactly what to say to draw someone in? Maybe you’ve always had a strong pull toward romance, connection, or even herbs and rituals related to the heart. These aren’t just random traits—they could be little hints from your soul that you were once a love witch in a past life.
Sometimes the past leaves fingerprints. And not just in your dreams or old memories that don’t quite belong to this life—but in your personality, your habits, your deep feelings, and even the strange things you’re naturally drawn to. If the idea of soulmates makes your chest tighten with emotion or if candlelight and rose petals feel like home, you might be remembering something older than this lifetime.
Being a love witch isn’t about potions and seduction tricks. It’s about understanding the power of love, healing through connection, and helping others open their hearts. Love witches worked with energy, intention, beauty, and desire. If any of that makes your soul perk up a bit, this article might hit close to home.
Let’s look at what a love witch really is, what signs point to you being one in a past life, and what it all means for you now in this life you’re living today.
What Is a Love Witch?
A love witch is someone who works with the energy of love—romantic, self-love, sensual, emotional, healing love. They’re the ones who might have made charm bags, used rose petals in their spells, whispered over candles, or brewed potions to draw people together or heal broken hearts. They didn’t always use magic for romance alone—love witches often helped with emotional wounds, grief, or loneliness. Love, after all, is the core of so many things.
In ancient times, love witches were often sought after for their wisdom on matters of the heart. Some worked quietly with herbs and oils; others were more mystical, calling on the moon or goddesses like Aphrodite or Freya. They were energy workers, emotional healers, and sometimes rebels—because love is powerful, and not everyone has always welcomed that kind of power. But whether they practiced in secrecy or surrounded by a supportive circle, their magic was real and deep.
Signs You Were a Love Witch in a Past Life
1. You’ve Always Been Drawn to Love Stories
There’s something about a powerful love story that hits you right in the heart. Not just the happy endings—but the passion, the loss, the longing, the connection. You might cry at old romantic movies, feel emotionally shaken after reading a romance novel, or find yourself daydreaming about connections you’ve never even experienced. This deep emotional reaction might be your soul’s way of remembering the work you used to do in the realm of love—healing, guiding, or even experiencing intense romantic lives in your past lifetimes.
You’re not someone who sees love as simple. You know there’s more to it—layers, shadows, lessons. You may find that you connect deeply with stories that involve soulmates, karmic bonds, or forbidden love. It’s not about the drama for you; it’s about the soul truth within those stories. You understand love on a soul level, and you recognize it in stories even when others might see it as fiction or fluff.
This pull toward emotional narratives could be a sign that your past life involved helping others navigate matters of the heart—or that your own life was filled with love’s many lessons. Love witches didn’t just fix hearts—they lived through every flavor of emotion. And when you consume love stories today, you might be tuning back into your own.
2. You Have a Natural Gift for Understanding Relationships
Even if you’ve never studied psychology or taken an interest in counseling, you might have an uncanny ability to understand what’s going on in other people’s relationships. You can tell when someone’s pretending everything’s fine, when one person is more invested than the other, or when a couple’s energy just feels… off. You read emotional currents the way other people read text messages.
People might come to you for advice, even when you don’t ask them to. Friends, family, even strangers may spill their relationship problems and trust you with their vulnerabilities. You might find yourself offering insight, not from judgment, but from a deep inner knowing—like you just get how love works. That’s the kind of soul memory love witches carry. You’ve likely done this before.
This gift may have started showing up when you were young. Maybe you always had the role of “peacekeeper” or “emotional translator” in your family. Love witches have always been emotional guides. That doesn’t mean your own relationships are perfect—in fact, many love witches struggle to apply their insight to their own love lives. But what you can do is read others’ emotions like a second language—and that’s magic.
3. You’re Drawn to Rituals Around Beauty, Love, or Sensuality
You might not even realize you have rituals—but think about it. Do you light candles before a date? Choose your perfume based on your mood? Arrange flowers just because it feels right? Those little things? That’s ritual. And love witches were known for weaving magic into the everyday—especially anything related to beauty, attraction, or the senses.
You may love creating sacred-feeling spaces: clean sheets, warm lighting, a beautiful bath. You might have a self-care routine that feels more like a ceremony. These aren’t just habits—they’re emotional rituals. And if they help you feel grounded, radiant, and more in tune with love energy, that’s a sign your soul remembers how to work with these tools.
In past lives, love witches used oils, herbs, charms, and beauty practices not just for looks—but for energy. Attraction, healing, empowerment, and connection all start with intention. You’re not superficial for loving pretty things. You’re a sensual being who understands how powerful beauty can be. That’s love witch energy through and through.
4. Roses, Candles, and Venus Vibes Call to You
Some people are drawn to edgy aesthetics, others to earthy ones—but if you feel most at home in soft, romantic surroundings, take note. Roses, rose quartz, pinks, golds, candlelight, silk, moonlight, and everything soft, glowing, and heart-centered—these are classic love witch symbols. If your soul perks up in a cozy, sensual space, that’s your inner witch speaking.
You may find that your ideal surroundings have a dreamy, vintage, or magical energy. Maybe you’re always collecting heart-shaped trinkets, or you light candles during stressful moments. You may even feel more powerful or safe when your space is filled with this kind of gentle, love-soaked energy. Love witches used their space like an altar—to nourish the spirit and attract loving energy.
That doesn’t mean you have to be super feminine or follow a certain style. It’s about what makes your energy feel balanced, open, and loving. Your connection to this aesthetic isn’t shallow. It’s spiritual. It’s a way of tuning your inner frequency to the kind of magic you used to work with—and still carry deep within you.
5. You Feel Other People’s Heartaches Deeply
You’ve probably been told you’re too sensitive—or maybe you’ve thought it yourself. When someone you care about is going through heartbreak or emotional pain, you feel it like it’s your own. You may even carry that energy for them, trying to soothe or absorb their hurt. This is a strong sign that you were once an emotional healer—someone who worked directly with matters of the heart.
Love witches were deeply empathic. Their energy work often involved sitting with the broken-hearted, holding space for grief, or helping others heal after emotional losses. That emotional intensity doesn’t always leave when the lifetime ends. If you cry easily during emotional moments or feel drained after talking to someone in pain, it may be leftover magic—and emotional responsibility—from a past life.
This kind of emotional sensitivity isn’t easy to carry. But it is sacred. It means you’re wired to help others heal through compassion. Just be sure to protect your energy, too. In this lifetime, you get to create better boundaries than you may have had before. Being a love witch doesn’t mean giving yourself away—it means learning how to hold love without losing yourself in it.
6. You Believe in Soulmates or Love Across Lifetimes
Even if you’re logical or skeptical about other things, you’ve never been able to shake the feeling that soulmates are real. Maybe you’ve had dreams about someone you’ve never met, or felt an unexplainable connection with someone the moment you met them. That sense of instant recognition, or love that feels bigger than time? That’s something love witches knew intimately.
In your past life, you may have worked with soulmate energy, helping others reunite with soul connections or guiding people through karmic lessons in love. You might’ve experienced great love yourself—ones that echoed across lifetimes and still show up in this one. You carry that memory somewhere deep in your bones, and that’s why you’re drawn to the idea of “fated” love.
This belief isn’t just romantic—it’s spiritual. You know that some people are meant to find each other. You may have even felt haunted or blessed by those connections in your own life. This sensitivity to soul bonds is a huge sign that you were once someone who helped others recognize and reconnect with the love that never really dies.
7. You’re Attracted to Heart-Healing Herbs, Crystals, or Spells
Without knowing why, you may find yourself collecting things like rose quartz, lavender, jasmine, or honey. Maybe you’ve always liked making little blends with herbs, wearing essential oils that smell like flowers, or using crystals you feel drawn to without knowing all their meanings. That’s your past-life magic showing up again.
Love witches worked with the Earth’s ingredients to heal the heart, attract love, and comfort the spirit. They often used herbs like damiana, hibiscus, chamomile, and yarrow—things known for their soft, loving, or sensual energy. You may not realize it, but your taste in scents, teas, flowers, or even your cooking choices could be echoing this magical past.
You might also feel like you intuitively “know” what someone needs when they’re heartbroken or anxious. A bath. A tea. A certain crystal. That’s not coincidence—it’s memory. It’s your soul tapping into what it’s always known how to do: bring love and healing to others using simple, beautiful tools of the Earth.
8. You’ve Been Accused of Being a “Heartbreaker” or “Too Intense”
Sometimes, when someone has strong love magic, others don’t know how to handle it. You might’ve been called “intense,” “flirty,” “seductive,” or even a “heartbreaker,” even when you weren’t trying to be. This isn’t about manipulation—it’s about your natural energy. Some people just feel pulled to you without understanding why.
In past lives, love witches often attracted attention, admiration, and sometimes even jealousy. Their magnetism came from their deep understanding of love and energy. If people have responded strongly to your presence—even when you weren’t looking for it—it’s likely that you’re still carrying that same glow. It’s not about looks. It’s about energy.
This trait can feel confusing or even burdensome. You might feel misunderstood, like you’re being punished for just being yourself. But this magnetism is sacred. It’s part of your soul’s power—and in this life, you get to use it with more intention. You don’t need to dim your light. You just need to learn how to hold your power with care and awareness.
9. Your Dreams Are Full of Romance, Ritual, or Ancient Symbols
If your dreams are vivid and filled with scenes of love rituals, ancient temples, mysterious symbols, or emotional connections with people you don’t know in real life—that’s a major clue. Past-life memories often show up in dreams, especially if you’ve been a magical soul before. These dreams may not always make sense logically, but they leave you with powerful feelings.
You might dream about lighting candles, making offerings, chanting, or standing in a circle of women under the moon. You might see yourself in a different body, in a different time, doing things that feel sacred and familiar. Sometimes, the emotions in these dreams are so strong they linger for days. That’s because they’re not just dreams—they’re echoes.
Writing these dreams down, or even recreating them in your waking life, can help you reconnect with that past self. That witchy part of you hasn’t gone anywhere—it’s just waiting for you to remember. These dreams are invitations, little doorways into who you were… and who you still are.
10. Love Feels Like a Spiritual Experience to You
For some people, love is just a feeling or a fun experience. But for you? It feels sacred. You may have had moments in love that felt transcendent, like time slowed down or your heart opened in a way that changed everything. Love isn’t just chemistry to you—it’s spiritual, divine, powerful, and real.
This is the truest sign of a love witch soul. You know love isn’t always easy, but you believe in its power to transform. You see it in the way people grow together, the way a kind touch can heal, or how even heartbreak teaches us something sacred. You honor love as a teacher, a healer, and a force bigger than any spell or ritual.
In your past life, you likely held ceremonies, whispered over candles, or helped others connect through soul-deep love. That energy still flows through you. Even in moments of loneliness or doubt, you carry the light of love within you. That’s not something that ever fades. It’s part of who you’ve always been.
Embracing the Magic You Still Carry
So what now? What do you do with this information?
First, don’t overthink it. If any of this resonated with you, it doesn’t mean you have to suddenly dive into a life of candle spells and heart-shaped crystals (unless you want to). It just means that part of your soul remembers how powerful love can be—and you’re likely meant to work with that energy again, in some way. That could mean healing your own heart, helping others, or just living with more intention and care when it comes to love and connection.
And second—let it be gentle. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Maybe you light a rose-scented candle tonight and just sit with your feelings. Maybe you journal about your relationships or reconnect with your sensual side. That alone is magic. And that alone honors the love witch you once were—and still are, deep down.
