The cultural reputation of divination isn’t great, let’s be honest. We’ve all seen fake gypsies in fake caravans at the fairground. We’ve seen the over-the-top mediums in haunted houses on late night television. People calling themselves ‘psychic mediums’ can make a decent living convincing the berieved they have a message from their dearly departed.
And yet we all practice divination every day. The weather forecast? That’s divination underpinned with 21st century technology. When the weather forecast says dry, but we instinctively take a coat and it saves us from that downpour, that’s divination on a personal level. It’s not magic, or a rare gift given only to the seventh son of a seventh son. It is one of many natural processes that we’ve lost touch with, due among other things to our reliance on those 21st century technologies.
Those hunches and gut feelings we get? Those knowings that don’t come from vision, hearing, smell…? Those instinctive reactions we can’t explain? Those are hints at the divinatory abilities that are going on within us all the time.
At Virsel we take those personal divinations seriously, and work toward restoring those natural abilities. We looked beyond those cultural tropes and we really explored the divinatory faculties. We don’t say ‘psychic medium’ any more than we say ‘lumberjack plumber’. That’s not saying anyone can’t be psychic AND mediumistic (or a lumberjack AND a plumber for that matter) but they involve very different processes and disciplines.
What’s the diffence between clairvoyance and mediumship? In what way is the sensitive distinct from the empath? And how do we bring them back to the forefront of our senses?
