We’re All Psychic

When you look up at a bright blue sky, watching clouds wafting by, it is pretty simple to see shapes in those clouds. That one looks like an elephant. This one looks like a floaty dress. If you have ever done that, you have the makings of a diviner. All diviners do is take that same ability and apply it to a crystal ball, candle smoke, an obsidian mirror or some other tool. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? Sounds like something you can do.

The next step is to trust your instincts. It’s that first flush of imagination that tells you the shape in the smoke is a woman in a long gown. That internal sense that she’s an important figure in the querent’s future. Learn to cultivate and trust that little voice in your head that whispers the ways of the universe in your ear.

What I’m describing sounds pretty easy, doesn’t it? Nothing overly complicated. Nothing particularly magickal. It’s about shiny tools (tarot cards, oracle cards, candle wax, etc.) and trusting your inner voice. If it’s that simple, why can’t everyone be a psychic? The straightforward answer is: they can. You can! Follow the above steps and you are there.

I don’t know if there is anything hereditary about my psychic gifts, though there are other members of my family who share them. Instead, I like to think that anybody has the power inside them. All you have to do is choose the tools (if any) that are right for you and practise trusting that inner voice, those instincts. The more you trust your instincts, the more they will grow and develop. The more you’ll be able to lean on your psychic sense. 

It took a long time for me to trust my instincts. It also took someone else believing in me. I would not be the psychic I am today without other people’s support and belief. Once the people in my life believed in my instincts, I started to believe in them too. The rest is practice.

I chose my tools – the crystal ball and the tarot cards – and I practised with them as much as I could. I say that in the past tense, but it’s very much a present phenomenon for me. I’m still practising as much as I can. I’m still learning to listen to that inner sense. It’s not as if I’ve mastered my craft. I’m a learner as much as anyone else is. I am far enough along on my journey to want to encourage others to come along too. Trust those instincts. Trust that inner voice. If you want to be a psychic, go for it!
