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.

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.
How Telepathy Fits Into the Metaphysical World
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.
Telepathy: More Than Just Mind Tricks
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.
Using Magical Tools to Enhance Your Telepathic Abilities
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.
Science and Telepathy: A Skeptical Perspective
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.
Developing Telepathy: It’s Not Just for “Special” People
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.
Conclusion: A Skill Worth Developing
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.
This post really clarified the different types of psychic abilities. It also helped me understand the ones I have.
