The post Empath: Psychic Gift or Curse? appeared first on Coexist - The Alternative Path.

Being an empath can be very difficult, even painful for most. I have helped a lot of people in life, especially at our metaphysical shop, learn to dance with this talent. It’s gratifying to see them learning how to live without either suffering or hiding themselves away from the world. That’s no way to live.
I often meet empathic people when I’m doing tarot readings, in our metaphysical shop, but even just visiting. I used to suffer too, but then I learned and so will you. Connect with us for more on Instagram, Facebook (Meta) or TikTok.
But let’s start by understanding basic human empathy. We see the furrow in someone’s brow, the tears well up. Perhaps it’s the vein pulsing in their forehead. But we see the physical signs of stress, sadness, anger etc. and respond with compassion. Yep, there you go, basic human compassion, something I wish more people had in great quantities.
Psychic empathy is the same, but also different. Most people, while they could relate, can’t actually feel what someone else is feeling. They might have pity or compassion, but they do not experience the specific hurt or negativity of another. Empaths do. It can be anywhere from grossly irritating, to stressful, to overwhelming.
And that’s the problem for empathic people. Nearly every single empath I’ve come across is a suffering mess. But I know why. I often have this conversation in our tarot room.
I notice that most empaths hang on to every little hurt and every little compliment like it’s precious. Hoarding these feelings, but just a part of what makes them feel “sick”.
Some people would call being an empath a curse, others would say it’s a gift. I advise people to think of it as neither gift or curse, but a talent only. For an empath, gift or curse would depend on how you use it. Below is a simple, but very effective way to start training your mind to use psychic empathy more correctly.
It is worth the time to do a little meditation here and there. Take some time out to mentally prepare before you engage with other people. Know ahead of time, as much as you can, what you are walking into.
This is best illustrated by telling you a tale I’ve told hundreds of times in my life. I used this one experience to educate hundreds about being an empath.
This girl, she didn’t come to see me specifically, but at our metaphysical shop. Right away I knew she was depressed, but also angry. I could feel it, but it didn’t take a psychic to know, just one look in her eyes would have told you.
I told her to come with me and gave her a pro-bono reading. Boy she had a lot of toxic people she kept company with. Sigh, empaths often do, I know I did once upon a time. I knew she struggled to make healthy boundaries, but I also knew she didn’t know why, but I did. So, I taught her a game.
I told her ever since she was little, she had been able to easily pick up on other people’s feelings. I pointed out she felt their anger, loneliness or anxiety and made her feel “sick”. She nodded yes and tears were already flowing. Every time it made her feel sick. I pointed out the only way she knew to try and feel better was to “fix” them. You can’t, I told her, no one is yours to fix. And I pointed out, she would just try harder and harder and then blame herself when they didn’t behave better. What an unnecessary self-imposed guilt trip.
I asked her, for trying to help them, how has that been for you? How is this fair to you? What are you getting out of it. Let them go, I told her, make the healthy boundaries. Now learn to play this game.
I told this young empath; I want you to imagine you are at a familiar house with some friends and a few people you just met. You’re having a great time and then, boom! Out of nowhere; anger, anxiety, depression, loneliness. Now take these four steps and play the game.
If you are an empath and suffering, try this. Save that gift only for those you love the most with rare exception. Be determined, stick to your guns, and you won’t want to hide as much from people. You also won’t be as affected. You can also meditate on this and see yourself doing it.
I recommend this Alpha Trigger meditation. Get to the end and then visualize or think on whatever you wish. Be well, be happy and be healthy.

Precognition, I’m sure you’ve heard of it: the mysterious, mystical ability to foresee the future. You know, that moment when a friend casually mentions they had a vivid dream about you winning the lottery, or when someone says they knew something was going to happen before it did.
Yes, I’m talking about precognition. It can happen in several ways and take many forms. You could say it’s precognition when I’m doing tarot readings and describe a situation six months out. I love it—my clients come back and tell me, “Wow, it happened.” Trust me, I’m not just pulling that out of thin air.
It’s quite gratifying, helping someone avoid harm, improve their lives or find love or healing.
We do in-person tarot readings in our physical store, or online readings if needed, come visit! Connect with us for more on Instagram, Facebook (Meta) or TikTok.
I’m not the only one that has experienced precognition. It’s pretty clear that some people can tap into future energies, whether through dreams, visions, or feelings. Some skeptics might roll their eyes and mutter “coincidence” or “wishful thinking,” but for those of us who’ve had the experience, there’s no denying it’s a real phenomenon.
For me, it’s a little like magic—conjuring glimpses of what’s to come. And yes, I practice witchcraft (no, it’s not evil), so I’m all about working with energies and the metaphysical. As a witch, the lunar cycle, moon energies, and the Craft play a significant role in my spiritual practice.
But let’s be clear: we’re not talking about some fluffy, whimsical fantasy here. We’re talking about something that’s been studied scientifically—and sometimes, the evidence is pretty compelling.
There are many types of psychics and psychic gifts, precognition plays a role in many of these. Precognition plays a large role in divination practices.
Precognition, in simple terms, is the ability to perceive or sense future events before they happen. Imagine knowing the outcome of a sports game before the final whistle blows or getting a clear vision of an upcoming personal event months in advance. It’s like watching the future unfold in slow motion, except—spoiler alert—you’re not the one making it happen.
Some people are born with this ability, others develop it over time through meditation or by honing their craft (no, not the witchy kind—well, maybe a little). And just because you’ve never had a moment of foresight doesn’t mean it’s not out there. After all, we live in a world that’s filled with energies we can’t always explain.
The universe works in mysterious ways, right? There are also tools to develop, enhance or augment precognition like tarot cards, crystal balls or pendulums.
The idea of predicting the future isn’t new. In fact, for centuries, people have claimed to have precognitive abilities. But what does science say about it? According to some studies, there’s evidence to suggest that precognition may actually be a thing, even if it’s a small, often overlooked one.
Take, for example, the story of John Godley in 1946. He was a student at Oxford University when he had a dream about horse race winners. The next day, he discovered that the horses he had dreamed about were actually running that day. And get this—both horses won. Godley repeated this bizarre phenomenon several times over the next few years.
Eventually, he wrote down his predictions, sealed them in an envelope, and kept them locked away until the day of the race. The predictions came true, and he became a local celebrity.
Skeptics, of course, would say it’s all a coincidence or, worse yet, fraud. But if we look closer, we start to see a pattern. More and more people claim to have had experiences like Godley’s. They might not be betting on horse races, but they’ve felt that eerie sense of déjà vu or seen flashes of the future in dreams.
I know, I know—science isn’t exactly lining up to embrace precognition as an everyday reality. But here’s the kicker: there are actual scientific studies that have investigated the possibility. You’re probably thinking, “Sure, but science has to explain everything, right?” Well, here’s the deal. Scientists have conducted a number of studies on precognition and similar phenomena, and they’ve found something interesting.
In 2014, a study involving 10 participants predicted the movement of the Dow Jones Industrial Average—an important stock market index. In all seven trials, the predictions were accurate, and the participants collectively made a profit of $16,000.
This is just one example, but there’s more. In a 2017 study, 15 participants with some known psi abilities correctly predicted the movement of the German stock market in 38 out of 48 trials. That’s a solid 79.16% accuracy rate.
Now, before you start imagining us all living in mansions and swimming in cash, there’s a catch. If humans can predict the future, why aren’t we all rich by now? Good question. The answer lies in something called “effect size.” My advice is don’t go chasing money, greed and materialism can make you sick. If riches happen, they happen.
There’s no harm in being well-off, but prosperity is better; simply having what you need. I do little money magic here and there as needed, sure. But I won’t fall into the trap of greed, I believe greed is evil and the source of many evils in the world.
While the results of precognition experiments are consistently positive, they tend to be small—often too small for skeptics to take seriously. However, let’s break this down: just because the effect is small doesn’t mean it’s insignificant. In fact, the data shows that small but consistent results—across different types of studies and people—are still enough to suggest something real is going on.
A 1989 meta-analysis of 309 precognition studies involving over 50,000 participants found a statistically significant success rate. That’s a lot of data to ignore, right? More recent studies have built on this, with one meta-analysis in 2012 showing even stronger positive results.
And here’s where it gets interesting: when you compare the effect sizes of psi research with other areas of psychology, they’re on par with studies of things like aspirin’s effectiveness or polio vaccines.
To put it bluntly, these studies consistently show that the results of precognition experiments are not just flukes. They’re real enough to be considered credible by those who aren’t immediately dismissing them as “pagan mumbo jumbo.”
For me, precognition isn’t just a cool party trick or a convenient way to predict lottery numbers. It’s deeply tied to the metaphysical and spiritual dimensions of existence. As a witch, I’ve spent years learning how to tap into different energies. Magic, whether it’s lunar or solar, involves attuning yourself to cosmic rhythms. For some of us, tapping into future energies is just another form of this spiritual practice.
The Craft, as I like to call it, teaches us to trust our intuition. Over time, this intuition sharpens, almost as if we’re tuning into a spiritual frequency that reveals future possibilities. Think of it like walking into a room where everything feels just a little bit off. Maybe you don’t have all the answers yet, but something’s about to happen—and you just know it.
It’s no coincidence that many witches and metaphysical practitioners report heightened intuitive abilities, including precognition. Whether we’re doing a spell, reading tarot, or simply meditating under the moon’s light, we are working with energies that might give us a glimpse into what’s ahead.
Here’s a question that’s been bugging me for a while: if precognition is real, why can’t everyone do it? The answer is simple—and a little frustrating. Like any other talent, it varies from person to person. Some people might have strong intuitive abilities, while others may not even notice the subtle signs of the future.
It’s not that precognition is an exclusive club; it’s just that some of us are more attuned to the energies that reveal the future.
But here’s the good news: we can all develop our own psychic abilities, with practice. Whether you practice witchcraft, meditate, or simply pay closer attention to the small signs around you, it’s possible to increase your sensitivity to precognitive experiences.
The universe is constantly sending us messages, but most of us are too distracted to catch them. The key is learning to listen. There are meditations and exercises that can help you develop your intuition.
So, is precognition real? Based on personal experiences, scientific studies, and a deep belief in the metaphysical, I’d say it’s definitely something worth exploring. You don’t have to be a witch or a Wiccan to tune into these energies, but it certainly helps if you’re open to the idea. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, it’s clear that there’s more to our reality than meets the eye.
As for me, I’ll keep doing my tarot readings, manifesting good energy, and seeing what the universe has in store. Maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of the future, too—if you know where to look.

Let me start by saying: being a psychic medium is a lot more than what people expect. Sure, I’m often asked if I can talk to dead people. But it’s way more complex, and trust me, it’s not always as glamorous as Hollywood makes it out to be. A psychic medium, especially in the metaphysical community, deals with different kinds of energies. These energies come in many forms. They’re not all from dead people, either.
In this post, I’m going to walk you through the three primary types of psychic mediumship. They all have their quirks, and yes, I use them all in my readings. Whether you’re pagan, witch, or someone just curious about the Craft, I hope this clarifies the strange world of mediumship for you. I teach classes, do in-person tarot readings (as does all our coven) at our physical store, come visit! We also have online readings available too, book an appt. Connect with us for more on Instagram, Facebook (Meta) or TikTok.
Clairsentient psychic mediums receive data from the spirit world primarily through feelings. Yes, it’s not all about hearing disembodied voices. I’m sure some people expect me to just close my eyes and channel a spirit. But honestly, it’s a lot more subtle. For example, I might feel someone gently touch my neck (physical medium). Or I could feel a sudden wave of emotion (clairsentient medium or empathic). Sometimes I even experience what I like to call “the tingles,” like when someone is giving me a spiritual handshake. Clairsentient mediumship is more about receiving messages from spirits, seeing and hearing them. Hearing them is often referred to as clairaudient.
The funny part? These experiences almost always lead to something more. If I feel a tingling sensation on my ear, I know it’s time to listen. Why? Because that’s usually when the spirits are ready to deliver a message. It’s like their way of grabbing my attention. How kind, right?
Of course, the messages aren’t always rainbows and moonbeams. Sometimes I feel a deep sadness or a confusing mix of emotions. That’s when I know someone is grieving. You’d be surprised how often those who’ve passed on have unresolved feelings. It’s part of the healing process, for both them and the living. Sometimes they come through.
Now, let’s talk about non-incarnate mediums. These are the psychics who don’t necessarily hear voices or feel spirits directly. Instead, they access data through signs and portents. As a witch who practices Wicca, I’ve often relied on the power of symbols and magic to manifest results.
When you’re using tarot cards, throwing bones, or reading tea leaves, the universe is talking to you through signs. I like to use crystal balls sometimes too.
The spiritual world doesn’t always communicate in obvious ways. Instead, they use what I call “spiritual shorthand”—things like animal behavior, cloud patterns, or even the way the moon seems to glow that night. In fact, during my tarot readings, I sometimes see spirits in flashes, almost like mental snapshots. These aren’t always complete images, but just enough to give a sense of who they were in life. And yes, it’s as strange as it sounds.
But here’s the kicker: Spirits have a weird way of coming through when they feel someone is grieving or struggling. You’d think the dead would be at peace, but no. They’re still working through things, just like the rest of us. As a result, messages often come through with powerful emotions. The spirits might even use your grief to make contact, helping you heal as you help them. I don’t do this on command in readings, but it happens.
Let’s move on to physical mediums. These folks are a special breed. They don’t just sense spirits in the mind; they feel them in the body. Think of it like this: spirits conjure specific sensations to get their message across. One moment, you could be feeling the pressure of a hand on your neck. The next, there’s a sharp pain in your knee. It’s like magic, but with a twist.
Physical mediumship can be intense. Some mediums experience strange sensations in their bodies, like someone is literally using their body to communicate. This is an aspect of mediumship that’s tied to energies. It’s all about how the spirit uses physical energies to make itself known. For example, I once felt a spirit tapping on my shoulder, as if to say, “Pay attention!” Sometimes sprits work through pendulums, I have many at this point.
What’s even more fascinating? These sensations can sometimes reflect how the spirit passed. If they had a sudden heart attack, you might feel pressure in your chest. If they died in a car crash, you could feel whiplash in your neck. Trust me, it’s not always pleasant. But again, it’s part of the process. There’s also Ventre Loquis, latin for “speak through the gut”. Spirits sometimes speak through the gut. Every go to cross a street and see someone and – oomph! A negative gut feeling and you choose to go another way? Yep, and that’s also the origin of the word ventriloquist.
Here’s where it gets interesting. While you might expect each psychic medium to specialize in one particular type of communication, I use all of them. In my practice, they blend together. Sometimes, I’ll throw bones for a reading. Then, while reading the tarot cards, I’ll feel a sudden wave of grief. That’s when a spirit usually comes through. I’m not exactly sure why, but when emotions get involved, everything opens up. It’s as if the grief makes the channel between this world and the next clearer.
It’s like magic—but not the kind you read about in witchcraft books. Well, maybe it is, but not in the way most people think. The Craft doesn’t just involve casting spells or working with lunar energies. It also involves tuning into the spiritual forces all around you. Mediumship, to me, is a kind of magic. It’s not about “conjuring” spirits for fun; it’s about finding a way to manifest healing, closure, and connection.
What I’ve noticed, especially when working with clients, is that these different types of mediumship reinforce each other. One doesn’t operate independently. They overlap. For example, while I’m reading tarot cards, I’ll get physical sensations that help confirm the messages. Or, while connecting with the energies of the deceased, I might see symbolic signs in the environment—like an animal suddenly acting in a peculiar way.
You’re probably thinking, “Okay, but why should I care about all this?” Well, I’m here to tell you: Mediumship isn’t just for communicating with the deceased. It’s also about understanding the spiritual energies that are around us—those that influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Whether you follow Wicca, are a practicing pagan, or just dabble in metaphysical practices, mediumship is a way to tap into deeper knowledge.
It’s like this: I’m not just talking to spirits. I’m talking to the universe. I’m listening to the moon, the lunar cycles, the natural world. It’s all connected, and spirit communication is one way to access that. Whether I’m conjuring a message from beyond the veil or interpreting a sign from the physical world, it all matters. It’s a metaphysical web that ties everything together.
In the end, being a psychic medium isn’t about living in a world of ghosts. It’s about being tuned into the spiritual energies that shape our lives. It’s about manifesting connections, whether they’re with the living or the dead. So, next time you hear someone ask if I can talk to the dead, I might just tell them, “I’m too busy listening to the universe.” Trust me, it’s a full-time job.

Ah, psychometry. The mysterious art of reading the energy of objects. You may have heard of it if you’ve dabbled in witchcraft or explored metaphysics. Simply put, psychometry is the ability to gain psychic impressions or information by touching an object. I get this question all the time: “Can you read me by holding my hand or touching something I own?” Well, yes—and it’s not as mystical or strange as it might sound. It’s actually quite common, and once you get the hang of it, you might be surprised at how often these energies come through.
When I do tarot readings in person at our metaphysical shop, for example, I often shake or touch someone’s hand or jewelry. When I do this, I sometimes get flashes of images or impressions, occasionally even emotional energy. This can happen with any object that holds personal meaning to the individual, like a necklace, a ring, or even a favorite book. In these moments, it feels like I’m connecting with the spirit or energy of the item—and by extension, the person it belongs to.
Of course, it’s not always so dramatic. Sometimes, it’s just a sense or an image. But when it happens, it’s often startlingly accurate. As a witch with a long history of working within the Craft, I’ve learned that these energies can be manipulated. Just like when we use crystals or herbs in magic to manifest our intentions, psychometry can be an effective tool for divination, guidance, or even healing. Connect with us for more on Instagram, Facebook (Meta) or TikTok.
So, what exactly happens when I touch an object? The truth is, I tap into the object’s energetic imprint. Everything holds energy. That’s right: everything. Objects, like people, have an aura or spiritual signature. Just like I can feel emotional energy from a client in a reading, I can also feel it from their belongings. It’s similar to how a physical medium might sense spirit energy through bodily sensations. Yet with psychometry, the information comes through via touch and the impressions I get from that touch.
It’s not as uncommon as you might think. After all, mediums, whether clairsentient or otherwise, are always tuning into different frequencies of energy. The key is that it’s not just about physically holding an object—it’s about connecting with its energetic signature. In the world of witchcraft, this is a big deal. You may have heard about using objects to manifest magic or conjure intentions. Well, psychometry works on a similar level, where you read the energy of that object and interpret what it’s telling you.
Even when I do online readings (yes, we witches are modern), I can’t touch anything physical, but I can still see. If I focus on an object the client mentions or shows me on camera, sometimes the energy from it comes through. It’s not quite as powerful as it is when I can physically touch something, but it’s still effective. The distance doesn’t stop the spiritual energies from transmitting information. Still, if I’m being honest, I much prefer in-person readings for this very reason.
Now, you may be wondering, “Can I do this too?” Absolutely. If you’re interested in strengthening your own psychic ability, psychometry is one of the easiest and most accessible skills to develop. I’ve had clients tell me they can’t read objects at all, but with a little practice, they quickly realize they were always capable of it—they just didn’t know how to tune into it.
First, meditation can be a huge help. I recommend the Alpha Trigger meditation to start. There are specific meditations that can help you increase your own psychic range or reach. Regular meditation sharpens your senses and connects you with spiritual energies. After all, when we practice the Craft, we’re not just casting spells or following lunar cycles. We’re building awareness of our spiritual surroundings. Meditation helps open the third eye and connect with energies around us, including the energies embedded in objects.
I also recommend you have a friend, lover or spouse bring you things to touch. Have them know something of the objects history. See what you get. Also, start putting it to the test. Touch things and then ask questions to gain confirmation.
Additionally, herbs and crystals can boost your ability to tune into psychic information. I’m no stranger to using metaphysical tools to enhance my practice. Some herbs like lavender, mugwort, and rosemary can help clarify psychic impressions. Crystals like amethyst or selenite help protect your energy while you work with object readings. And don’t forget the power of moon magic. The lunar energies have been associated with intuitive abilities for centuries. It’s almost like the moon enchants everything it touches, amplifying your psychic awareness.
Many people confuse psychometry with other psychic gifts, but the distinction is important. For example, clairsentient mediums often pick up on emotions and physical sensations, but they don’t necessarily need to touch an object. With psychometry, however, the key element is the physical touch of the object, which allows the psychic to pick up on the energies stored within it. So, grab a piece of jewelry or an object that’s meaningful to you. Hold it in your hands and start tuning in. Don’t worry if you don’t get a full-on vision of the past right away. Like anything magical or spiritual, psychometry takes practice. It’s not like you’ll just manifest a complete reading in the first try. It requires patience and a little faith in your own abilities.
Furthermore, while physical mediums often sense spirits or energies in their bodies (yes, that eerie sensation of feeling someone’s presence without them being physically there), psychometry is more about reading the imprint left on an object. It’s like tracing a map of energy. That object holds a history, an energy that can be tapped into, and that energy often tells a story.
In other words, psychometry is a unique ability, but it often overlaps with other forms of mediumship. For example, while I’m reading tarot cards, I may also use psychometry to pick up on the energy of a client’s personal item they’ve placed on the table. It enhances the overall experience and gives me additional insight into the situation. It’s not magic (well, okay, it is a bit magical), but it is definitely a skill that can enrich the way you connect with the spiritual world.
When I work with psychometry, I’m focusing on the energies that have been left behind. Objects and people both absorb energies from their surroundings. If an object has been in a place or with a person for long enough, it can store emotional imprints. These can be positive, negative, or just neutral. As a psychic, I simply tune into those energies and interpret what they’re trying to tell me.
This is where things get interesting. If you’re familiar with the idea of manifesting energies in witchcraft or Wicca, you know that the energies you put into something have an effect. It’s the same principle behind psychometry. The more energy someone puts into an object, the more information that object can potentially hold. A beloved family heirloom? Likely to carry memories, stories, and emotions. A well-worn item of clothing? Expect to pick up on the wearer’s vibe.
Psychometry is more than just a psychic skill—it’s a deep dive into the spiritual and energetic imprints of our world. It’s about recognizing the interconnectedness of everything: people, places, objects, and the energies they give off. Whether you’re practicing witchcraft, exploring metaphysical concepts, or just looking to get in touch with your own abilities, psychometry is a valuable skill to have in your psychic toolbox.
In the end, psychometry is a fascinating and often underappreciated psychic ability. It’s not just about touching objects and reading their “vibes.” It’s about tuning into the energies that weave through everything around us. The more you practice, the more sensitive you become to those energies. And while it’s helpful to use herbs, crystals, and moon cycles to boost your skills, don’t forget that the most powerful tool you have is your own awareness.
If you’ve never tried psychometry before, I encourage you to give it a shot. Whether you’re pagan, Wiccan, or simply curious about the metaphysical world, this skill can deepen your understanding of energy and intuition. So next time someone asks me to read them, I’ll just smile, take their hand, and see where the energies take us.

Telepathy, a function of ESP, or Psi, is a remarkable psychic talent. Like other psychic gifts, it tends to overlap with others, like Empathy or Clairvoyance. During in-person tarot readings at our metaphysical shop or online tarot readings, I “hear” some of my client’s thoughts. Sometimes it’s very clear. Other times, it’s like trying to tune a radio to the right frequency. Personally, I think I only hear what I’m meant to hear.
Still, it’s there—and the weird thing? There is and you can read actual scientific proof of telepathy, so let’s stop pretending it’s all a bunch of pseudoscience. There are many scientists want to study telepathy further. I think mankind is slowly becoming more psychic over time.
This is a conversation I sometimes have in our physical store, come visit!

If you’re here reading this, I’m guessing you’ve already dipped your toes into the metaphysical world. Whether you identify as pagan, witch, or you’re just interested in the magical side of life, telepathy is one of those skills you can start to develop. Sure, I won’t say you’ll be having mind-meld conversations anytime soon, but the potential is absolutely there. If you’re serious about your craft—be it witchcraft, Wicca, or just dabbling in lunar rituals—you probably know that telepathic abilities aren’t just for the “chosen few.” We all have some level of psychic skill; it’s just about unlocking it. And, trust me, there’s a lot more to it than simply “wishing” for it to happen.
Although telepathy often gets associated with witches and other magically inclined people, it’s not exactly the same as using a spell to manifest things. But, like magic, it can certainly be developed with practice, patience, and maybe even a little enchantment along the way. I’ve been able to project my thoughts when doing readings, sometimes with the aid of tools like seer stones. It’s a skill that can definitely be honed, especially if you’re already familiar with the energies around you.
In the metaphysical community, telepathy is often regarded as an advanced skill—one that connects the spiritual realm to the physical. As witches, many of us use psychic means of communication. We don’t often sit around having full-on conversations in our heads (at least not every day), but we can send or receive thoughts, feelings, or even images. It’s not always about hearing someone’s exact words, though. Sometimes, it’s more like knowing what someone is thinking without needing them to say it aloud.
It’s easy to dismiss the idea of telepathy when you don’t have the right mindset. But once you start working with metaphysical energies—be it through rituals, spells, or working with the moon—you may find that your ability to sense others’ thoughts becomes sharper. One thing I always tell people during my tarot sessions is that if you’re open to it, you’ll experience more. And yes, this applies to psychic skills like telepathy too.
The Craft has always had an intimate connection with spiritual energies. Whether it’s the moon, the sun, or the stars above, witches and practitioners of the occult believe in tapping into those forces to enhance magical practices. If you can tap into those energies, why wouldn’t you be able to tap into the energy of a person’s thoughts? Telepathy is just an extension of that idea. It’s less about physical senses and more about tuning in to the universal vibrations that surround us.
To be clear, telepathy isn’t about mind control or manipulating someone’s thoughts. Although there are witches who practice more advanced forms of magic (which may involve influencing someone’s will), telepathy is really just a form of psychic communication. It’s not about telling someone what to think; it’s more about syncing your own thoughts with theirs. When you think of telepathy this way, it doesn’t sound so “out there,” right? It’s just another energy exchange, much like how we sense someone’s emotions through empathy.
It’s easy to think of telepathy as something reserved for fiction or magic spells, but once you start understanding metaphysics and the connection between everything, you begin to see that it’s a natural skill we all have. The truth is, some people are born with heightened ESP abilities. Others need a little more training. Personally, I started noticing my own telepathic abilities while doing readings. Sometimes, I’ll be holding a tarot card and just “know” what the person is thinking before they even say a word. It’s like the cards act as a psychic amplifier for me, sending out waves of energy that I pick up on.
As with most metaphysical skills, telepathy requires practice. You can’t just sit down and expect your brain to suddenly be full of other people’s thoughts. But, with time and focus, you can certainly sharpen your mind’s ability to pick up on those subtle psychic signals. And yes, I’m sure there are witches out there who can send thoughts across great distances. But let’s face it: unless you’ve been training for years, you’re more likely to pick up on fleeting impressions than detailed mental conversations.
Sometimes, as with any metaphysical practice, tools can help enhance your abilities. Seer stones, pendulums, or even tarot cards can help you sharpen your intuition and telepathic sensitivity. These tools work because they act as conduits for energy. In essence, they tune your mind to the correct frequency for accessing thoughts, emotions, and psychic impressions.
For example, during a tarot reading, I might hold a specific card and feel a surge of energy. That energy doesn’t always feel like it belongs to me. It’s almost like I can sense the emotions or thoughts of the person I’m reading for. At times, it’s not entirely conscious—more like an intuitive knowing. Sometimes, it’s clearer, but there’s always a thread of connection that I can trace back to the client. And while I don’t always use tools to help me with this, I can tell you that having something physical, like a seer stone, can help channel and amplify those psychic impressions.
If you’re interested in developing your own telepathic skills, you can start by using tools like crystals or scrying mirrors. The key is to create an environment where your mind can relax and allow those subtle thoughts to enter. I’ve found that the more I work with magical tools, the easier it becomes to pick up on things I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. It’s like honing any other magical skill—consistency and intention make all the difference.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Sure, I can get behind a little witchcraft and magic, but telepathy? Really?” You’d be surprised to learn that there’s actual scientific evidence backing up telepathy’s existence. I know, it’s enough to make you roll your eyes. But the truth is, scientific studies on telepathy have been ongoing for years, and there have been a number of experiments that suggest something more than just coincidence is at play.
In fact, some of the most reputable studies in parapsychology have suggested that telepathy may be a function of brainwaves that are transmitted over great distances. Although the research is still in its early stages, there’s mounting evidence that our brains can communicate with one another in ways that we don’t yet fully understand. This isn’t some Harry Potter nonsense—it’s grounded in actual metaphysics and quantum theories. So, before you dismiss telepathy as hogwash, consider that science might just be catching up to what witches and spiritual practitioners have known for centuries.
If you’re still with me, it’s because you want to know how to develop telepathy, right? Here’s the thing: developing this psychic skill is something anyone can do. It’s not exclusive to people with “special gifts” or years of mystical training. You can start by simply opening yourself up to the possibility of it. I recommend starting with basic meditation techniques, as these help you tune into subtle energies. The more you focus on clearing your mind, the more you’ll start noticing these subtle transmissions.
There are also specific exercises you can do to enhance your psychic ability. Try sitting in a quiet room and focus on your breathing. Then, visualize sending a thought to someone. You could start with something simple, like a color or a word. Don’t expect instant results, but with consistent practice, you’ll start to pick up on those psychic signals.
The key to developing telepathy is to trust your instincts. Let go of any skepticism or doubt, because those mental blocks will only keep you from tuning into the right frequency. The more you practice, the better you’ll get at receiving and sending telepathic messages. It’s all about being open to the energies around you and allowing them to guide you.
Telepathy is a fascinating psychic ability that, although often misunderstood, has a rightful place in the metaphysical world. If you’re willing to put in the time and effort, you can develop this skill just like any other aspect of magic or witchcraft. Whether you’re using seer stones to amplify your intuitive abilities or simply practicing mental exercises, telepathy is a tool that can enhance your spiritual practice. So, why not give it a try? Who knows—maybe the next time you read tarot, you’ll “hear” someone’s thoughts a little more clearly.
