What were you in the past life?
Category: Inspiration
In my past life, I was a Cat Trainer. I traveled the world with the circus, performing with my 10 cats. Every night before the curtain call, I would powder my face and hand out treats to my kitties. “Now, now, Mr. Fluffingsworth. Be a good boy!”
I still love cats & the circus today.

Doe, did your cat get shaved like a lion? I want to do that to my kitteh in the summer time to get rid of her butt dreads.
I was either a sorceress or a witch in ages long past, specializing in holistic medicine and using the powers of nature to touch other planes of reality and spirituality. I lived in a mountainous valley surrounded by lush forest and took special care of injured animals.

Dear Doe,
That’s a very interesting profession.
I’ve never thought cats can be trained, I heard it’s only a myth. You must be very good at it :)
My mom told me I was a great leader in my past life. A Queen or something like that :)
That really explains a lot, since I do like being a leader, and I believe I’m good at it.

You were a cat trainer…I was definitely the CAT. Dear lord, no one loves warm patches of sun, sleeping and pretending to hate and ignore people more than I. Also, I totally love to play with my food…

I really hope you mean circus’ without wild animals!? They go crazy living like that! The use of dogs, cats, really well cared for horses and well anything you can keep as a pet in a circus is pretty reasonable to me. Kitties and you in the circus is an adorable thought I just hope your past life circus was a cruelty free one ;).
Now for my past lives: Hmm well I’d like to think I was once a hippie. Just a fantasy i’m sure. I do however, really wonder if i lived during and was involved in WWII. I have a very eerie fascination and connection with it. The only family connection i know to have with it is a grandfather who was in the war but we aren’t close and I’ve only heard him talk about it once. I just have this really deep feeling of closeness to that time period and things i hear and learn about it. So I think If I lived at any time during the 20th century (besidedes the entire 90’s in this life) it would have beeen the 30’s and/or 40’s and most likely in europe somewhere.
who knows I’m a Capricorn-said to have many lives- I could have been burnt as a witch or a wild (sexually they had so little taboo’s) ancient Greek aristocratic housewife. Or an Amazon or ancient Gaelic warrior!

I think, in my past lives, I’ve been a gypsy, a negotiator, a nurse, a wanderer, a madame of a “house of comfort”, and I’m guessing that’s the last 200 years or so. All things considered, I attribute my constant drive to keep going to my background and the possible lives I might have lived before.

I’m not quite sure… BUT I’m pretty sure I was a guy, artistic and good with his hands. Considering I do have some normal girl qualities now… maybe a gay one. haha; I probably had a harem.
I think I might’ve been a cat in another life too.

I was Victoria Woodhull, the presidential candidate in 1872 (her running mate was Frederick Douglass) on the platform of Free Love, Short Skirts, and Vegetarianism.
Between then, and now, I may have been Jean Seberg as well.
And I was absolutely a humpback whale, at least once.

I was definitely a geisha in a past life.I am so strongly drawn to them, and japanese culture in general.
And I know that I was a Spanish Flamenco dancer in another.
And in yet another, older previous life, I was Morag, a “witch” in scotland- skilled in herbal lore, with acute psychic senses.
I’m certain my baby daughter was a circus performer in a past life- one of those ladies wearing fishnets and feathers and sequins that stands on one leg atop a horse….and before that,she was a lionness :)

In my past life, I was an extremely successful, interstellar, high-class prostitute on another planet, genetically engineered to physical perfection and utter subservience. I traveled between the stars at light-speed to cater to all my clients.
In another, I was a crazy bag lady who loitered behind grocery stores to wait for out-dated food to be thrown out. I lived in a landfill, in a house that I made myself, entirely of trash. I thought that it was a time machine.

In one of my many past lives, I was an actress in the 17th century, with red hair and a pretty face. Apart from acting, I would see men and service them. In the end, I was framed for a murder I did not commit, and hung by the neck until I was dead.

I am not sure what I was in my past life, but I do believe I had at least one (I am a believer in reincarnation anyway). I clearly remember and have many visions of drowning in an older car (roughly ’50s build… I was born in ‘85 and never went into water with a car) and apparently, and when I was 3, my parents brought me to some place in the U.S. I had never been before (Salem, Massachusetts) and I knew my entire way around the city, giving them directions to places they wanted to go (and I’m not trying to claim I was a Salem witch… in fact, historically most of the witches were from Peabody, NOT Salem).

My past lives include…
An empathic Uranian (yes, that would be Uranus)
A rebellious Atlantean princess
A spiritual healer in the time of Nero
A close attendant to Marie Antoinette
And I have reason to suspect I might have been present during the Holocaust.
Guess I’ve always had a Leo’s personality, always striving for the spotlight.

I was probably a female explorer or archaeologist in the Victorian times. Not a famous one, but I got around… Maybe tagged along with my husband and then did my own thing.
Before that, I probably had an affair with a Greek god. I was a bright and kind mortal girl that liked red and amaranthos. He was most likely Thanatos, the god of death. My cheeriness overcame his dreariness. He could not resist me. Nope.

I know I’ve lived many past lives before..
I was a fairy with the most beautiful wings who’d fly to see everything…A mermaid with the most bewitching voice…a greek mortal who’d tell all the stories of the Gods…A damsel who ran away to live happily…a lady who’d wear frilly dresses and secretly study all the things forbidden…A geisha who’d captivate any man when she danced, or simply moved…A pin-up girl who’d inspire all the other girls to be just as sexy…
I’ve been just about everything, living most of experiences

Ooh. I definitely think I was a pirate, maybe in the early 18th century. I was the daughter of a rich couple, powerful in London society, and was kidnapped by pirates for ransom. I was never recovered, but didn’t mind because my society life was dull and oppressive. So I became a pirate, and had wonderful polyamorous relationships with several of the handsome pirate men on board. I was a very skilled sword fighter.
I was also most definitely a flapper at some point, given my fascination with the era. I think my flapper self was very free-spirited, more than I am now. She drank and smoked (I was definitely a smoker in a past life; it’s a miracle I’m not one now) and had relationships with both men and women. She was an absolute scandal, but basically a nobody, so no one cared. She also wrote poetic prose that was never published. She made a meagre living singing at speakeasies. She died young.
I would also like to think I was Queen Elizabeth. And probably a cat somewhere along the line, maybe in ancient Egypt.

I’ve been many things, since I’ve lived through many lives. The ones I’m most fond of is when I was a Russian Ballerina. I don’t have much recollection about that live but my eyes water whenever I see Russia. Another time I was an Italian Duchess; my lover, a lowly servant, died during a catastrophe but we are together again in this lifetime.

During meditation, I was told I was an alien that crashed to earth during the 1300s and died. Also, I was told that I was a live during the renaissance era probably living in venice with my fascination of it’s carnival. This would explain my undying love for venice and urge to visit Poveglia island…
I’m also attracted to “old world” things which were around that time period. I also love the renaissance culture/art.
I think I might’ve been irish sometime too because of my obsession with celtic culture, music, etc.

Quite possibly a spy, an entrepreneur and some sort of dancer or martial artist. If I was a man I was a bisexual one (with a preference for men), if I was a female I was also bisexual. I would mostly likely have had something to with the arts in a past life as well.

Due to my irrational fear of going up stairs (Odd, I know..) I have a feeling I once died from someone pushing me UP the stairs. I have a feeling it was my jealous lover.
Also, due to experiences way too long to explain here, I have a feeling I was a jewish teenage flapper who smoked and had many relationships with alot of people, but nobody cared because my father died during the war, and my mother died in childbirth… Then, I fell head over heels in love with a man, married, had three children, two girls and a boy, moved to France, but then died in the early 1940’s when my family got sent to a concentration camp.
At least, that’s what I believe. I think that was my most recent past life, as that’s the one I can ‘remember’ most of… if that makes sense.

This is a hard question! In my past life, I lived in a time where cities were only small towns, and there were many forests and greenery surrounding each town. I was a nomad, living with the wild animals and the trees. I was free to do anything, and spent much of my time daydreaming.
In another past life, I arranged flowers for a living. In this life, my ideal job is to arrange flowers, and that dream came completely out of thin air! So, I must have been a florist at some point in my past.

for some reason, most of my friends and I have had a long fascination with Japan and east Asia in general, *before* we ever got into anime, j-pop, and harajuku fashion. I sometimes wonder if I was a Japanese kimono-dyer or something in a past life. :)

I was an Irish woman at one point, probably in the pre-Christian era, and then later, in a more recent (16-1800’s) given my utter obsession with all things Irish.
Later, I was a female police officer who fell in love with my male co-worker, then was shot and killed in the line of duty beside him.
I know I had some preturnatural abilities at some point, and had connections to the same friends I have now.

In pioneer days, I was married to the guy who is my ex-husband in this life…we could not have children, and he blamed me for it and treated me horribly until we died from some widespread illness – much like how he treated me this time as well, except this time I got out! Turns out in this life, he has a disease that makes him afraid to have children. My name was Megan, I think. In another one, I was named Lucia and lived around Naples with my then-husband who is now my to-be husband…he owned a bakery, and apparently I enjoyed eating his creations a lot and was quite rotund. We couldn’t have kids either, but neither of us blamed each other, and we opened up an orphanage and always had children running in and out of our house that we loved and cared for, and we were happy. In this life, I’m an orphanage for stray dogs and cats and am a carb addict. At some point, I was also a French nurse with a close friend named Antoinette. All this was told to me by my psychic and makes perfect sense to me, but I’m an easy sell to begin with because everything else he told me was so dead-on, so why not this? I’d love to do an actual regression, though, and see what other details I can get. Oh, and the psychic told me THIS time around we’d have a child…hope he’s right! :)
I watched a very interesting Oprah once where they did a past life regression on a woman who began speaking fluently in a whole other language that she had never heard.
Kudos to the person who brought up the subject of circus cruelty…it is a little-known fact, though it is becoming more and more publicized lately, partly due to Ringling Bros. going on trial for cruelty, though they’re not the only ones guilty. Rest assured, however; I know Doe would never do anything cruel to an animal, whether in a past life or this one. :)

In my past life, I was most certaintly a dilettante. I enjoyed the arts, and had a broad knowledge of all that interested me. Clad in corsets and eleborate hats, harlequin tights and lace-up boots, I spent the day among the roses, listening to orchestras and reading classical literature. At night, I would put on my best clothes and go out to sample a play or musical. I would surround myself with all that is beautiful.

i have this feeling i cannot subside, that i, was a geisha in japan. i am drawn to the culture,the beauty and arts of geisha.
She paints her face to hide her face. Her eyes are deep water. It is not for Geisha to want. It is not for geisha to feel. Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances, she sings. She entertains you, whatever you want. The rest is shadows, the rest is secret.

In my past life, I am pretty sure I was a witch, during the Middle Ages, and also during beginning of common era :) (In my language it is called “Sibylla”, is it the same in English?)
I also think I was a very bright knight, like a free ranger, with the sword at my side, fighting for the good rights! :)
I can feel the presence of these persons and get amazed by history :)

August 2nd, 2009 at 10:12 am
My witch-days during the Middle Ages has been delightful and bright, but I ended up with the same new destiny all powerful women had during these days, or the days when I was older… like 60.
I was very smart! I have always been able to look into ones eyes and the that persons soul, especially their pains… and why. That is a very rare gift, but oh, so not delightful, sometimes! ;) Specially when no one understands, that sucks…
I have also, like above comments says, met a lot of people that I have known in the past.. Most of them are actually men :) Weird, huh, since I got enemies of “that side”… But my enemies were weak, and so were not my friends.
I know I have traveled with two men, as always, because I always end up with two best friends who are guys.. ;) Funny, right?

I was an opera singer in the late 1800s to early 1900s, and several hundred years ago was somebody in Oxford. I also have reason to believe that I have been a mermaid killed by a hunter, and that in one of my lives I could fly, whatever I was. I believe the flying life was the most recent, because I have strong recurrent dreams of flying which are the only dreams in which I feel any tangible sensation, at least that I bring back with me to the waking world.
