As a Christian Theologian, I am highly interested in what other religions and cultures believe about the things that occur in the world. I particularly developed an interest in what other people believe about an itchy nose after my encounter with someone who believes in it at the hospital.
I had gone to see a doctor because my nostrils were itching. As I waited at the reception, a young lady walked towards me as she scrutinized my nose, and said, “, Oh, chosen one” I was shocked but wanted to know why she said that. She said the itchiness was a spiritual message.
I was interested in that topic and scheduled to meet her for more information. After picking some background knowledge from her, I conducted online research, read some mystical books, and did random interviews.
Also, I had an opportunity to meet my friend’s great grandmother and her elderly friends, who elaborated. So last week, a member in my online diverse beliefs forum was talking about how her itching nose helped her know the stranger was her husband.
Many were shocked about her beliefs and asked many questions. Since I had done thorough research on the topic, I answered most of the questions. So, what is the spiritual meaning of an itchy nose?
Although the Bible does not talk about the spiritual meanings of an itchy nose, many people believe that it means that a visitor could be coming into their life.

Should you be worried when your nose won’t stop itching?
When your nose doesn’t stop itching, it is suggested that you should not worry so much. Instead, it is advised that you slow down and analyze your life and the choices you make.
Most people believe that when it does not stop itching, the spiritual world may insist on the message. However, sometimes it may be best to seek medical help because it may not always be something spiritual.
On the other hand, if you are a Christian, you should only be worried about an itchy nose if it is a medical condition. If it is not a medical condition, then there is no need to worry because these beliefs are not written in the Bible. Remember, the Bible is the only source of authority for Christians; therefore, you cannot follow superstition.
Colossians 2:8-10 says that believers should only listen to what Christ and His word say. People who use human wisdom to interpret certain meanings from particular situations, like the itchy nose, could be deceiving believers.
Christ describes this as being slaves of the world’s ruling spirits and human knowledge that can never be anything compared to God’s knowledge.
The only true divine nature is no Christ, whom believers share in His life. It is better to trust in Him than in any human-made rituals and meanings.
