Psychic Abilities and How to Develop Them

(SOURCE)

Clairvoyance (clear-seeing)

Having “visions”, seeing images (still or moving) on the inner screen of the mind (eyes can be      open or closed). Also includes seeing auras, apparitions, angels, etc. In other words, seeing beyond the      physical. The area of the body that receives the psychic impressions for this sense is located in the center      of the forehead (the Third Eye).

Claircognizance (clear-knowing)

Having knowledge of certain situations/people/places without having any information to      facilitate such knowing. This can be things of the past, present or future (premonitions). A common statement      from people who are strong in this ability is, “I don’t know how I know, I just know.” The location for this      sense is on the top of the head (the Crown chakra).

Clairaudience (clear-hearing)

Hearing voices, music and other sounds that do not have a physical source. This can include      hearing voices of those on the “other side” (deceased people), our guardian angels or spirit guides, our      higher selves, or God/dess. This can also include hearing voices/music/sounds that are actually echoes of the      past - this happens alot in haunted buildings). The locations for this sense are on each side of the head,      just above the ears.

Clairsentience (clear-feeling or clear-sensing)

“Feeling” things about people or situations that we otherwise could not know. People who are      strong in this ability often talk about having “gut feelings” about things, and are usually very sensitive to      energies and emotions of other people. Negative energies can often cause a wrenching or queasy feeling in the      abdominal area. This sense can also warn of problematic upcomings or situations (having a “bad” feeling about      something). This sense is located in the solar plexus.

Clairalience (clear-smelling)

Smelling things that have no physical source. Very common in haunted areas, but can also be an      indication that a deceased loved one is with us (i.e. smelling your mother’s favorite flower suddenly while      in a closed room during winter). It can be their way of contacting us, letting us know they’re      around.

Clairhambience (clear-tasting)

Tasting things without having eaten them. Most often relates to spirit communication, as with      Clairalience.

Poppets!!!

This could be an interesting way of creating a poppet.

Alterations:

Maybe instead of rubber hair bands use string or twine.

If it want it to look more doll-like roll the ears around to the back and then you'd have a little pouch for herbs or crystals and whatnots (remember to sew it closed so nothing falls out).

Wheel of the year and different rituals and activities one can manifest for the sabbats.

How do you communicate with your spirit companions? do you have any tips?

I personally use telepathy. When I first started out I used a pendulum. It was fairly easy but after a while I just liked the ease of mind talking. Sometimes I do engage in the occasional spirit board sessions for a good laugh with my spirit family. I only recommend a board if you're not one of those superstitious people.

Honestly the best tip I have is to never second guess yourself. If you start stressing over the answer or trying to hear, it just gets all mixed up and you can irritate your companion with asking them to repeat themselves several times. Usually the first answer is the one.

Alot of people will tell you meditation and a clear mind is key but it's not necessary. Just being calm and in a positive set of mind is really what helps me.

So TL;DR-

Don't stress, try the pendulum and work your way to trying other methods. Everyone has one they're good at.

Mermaid’s Song Tarot Spread

This is a spread that can be used in a variety of situations, so get creative! The idea for this spread was given to me by starry-eyed-cinammon-child with an idea that I also think would make a wonderful story idea. 

“What about that story idea that mermaids are the women who were drowned because the sailors thought women on a ship was bad luck?”

The Sailor - Who/what is pulling you down. The negative influence.

The Sinking - Where you are now, and what to learn or take away from the situation.

The Transformation - What you need to change.

The Tail - Who or what helps you.

The Song - Your strength, or where you can draw your strength from.

The Story - The outcome.

MIRROR SCRYING FOR PAST LIVES

make sure you won’t be disturbed

turn off all electronics that might produce light in your room

light a candle and place it at one side of the mirror

the candle light should hit only one side of your face

get into a relaxed position as you would when you’re about to enter a trance

empty your head 

focus on one part of your face, the eyes seem to do the trick best

chant “oracle of lunar light send me the second sight, show me a past life”

note: this spell is not mine

How To Send Dreams 💤

This post explains how to send a dream to another person. I’ve done this before many times and it’s always worked for me. I’m not here to boss anyone around, but it’s best to get permission to do it first. If not, that’s on you.

Read this post I made about energy work. (x) You’re going to want a little experience with energy work if you want to do this, otherwise it won’t work.

Print out a picture or pull up a picture on your phone of the person you wish to send the dream to.

Create a ball of energy in your hand. Infuse the ball of energy with images or words by thinking it, then imagining the thought or word going down your arm from your head, into the ball of energy.

Slowly push the ball of energy into the picture while imagining that you are in front of that person and physically putting it into their head. Do your best to feel yourself doing it.

Feel free to send me an ask on how it works for you or if you have any questions! :)
