“My grandma was a clairvoyant….”

We’ve most of us heard it. Or that she was a psychic, medium, or had some other ‘the gift”. So what is it? Which is it? And do you have it too? (SPOILERS: Yes, you quite probably do.)

We’ve been conditioned to rely on our five senses. We know this because we’re even taught that there are only five, to A level and beyond. Sight. Hearing. Smell. Touch. Taste. Remember?

There are so many more though. When a mother knows her child is in danger, or you get an adrenalin rush getting onto a roller coaster, which of those five is in play? And WHAT ELSE is in play?

In our day to day cultural lives we are seldom conscious of these finer senses, but when the natural processes- such as the “Fight or Flight (or Freeze)” mechanism- kick in they come to the fore. These are often given blanket terms like “sixth sense”, “second sight” or “gut feeling”, but just like sight, hearing and the other common senses, they can be studied and enhanced.

So clairvoyance is a thing. Mediumship is a thing. Psychics are a thing. They are not however the same thing.

In Virsel we have given these finer senses the name Divinations. Clairvoyant, Medium, Psyche (not psychic), along with Empath and Sensitive, are the primary of these divinations.

If you would like to explore more, and perhaps unlock your own divinatory potential, why not get in touch?
