WOTC Quiz: What Type of Psychic are You?

What Type of Psychic are You?

Everyone has four psychic senses, and you can learn to focus on psychic reception areas to enhance all of your psychic abilities. But as you become more adept at the process you will find that one or two of your four psychic senses are dominant–easier and more reliable for you to use.

It is important to know which psychic senses are your best channels for your intuition. Over time you can rely on them to help you keep your bearings. Find out which of the four psychic senses are your special gifts, here:

Know Your Psychic Strengths: Four Types

Gut Feeling: Feelers
Psychic feeling is the most accessible. It is the easiest to open to and to interpret. The hallmarks are “gut” feelings, and uneasy physical feelings that often give you a sense of something not being right, or being right.

All people, places, and objects constantly radiate vibrational patterns, and your physical body is like a large antenna able to register and assimilate their meaning as inner feelings.

Focal Point: In the front of the body, from the top of the diaphragm to just below the naval (the third chakra).

Knowing: Prophetics
The sense of “knowing” is very fleeting, but once you get the message the awareness of the truth is deep and unwavering.

Men and women high in psychic knowing function at an accelerated pace. They are excellent anticipators of problems or difficulties, and they naturally sense how to be at the right place at the right time. They are innovators with limitless creativity.

Focal Point: The crown and top of head (seventh chakra). The insight comes down from the crown into the center of the head to the nerve bundle that connects the two hemispheres of the brain.

Hearing: Audients
Psychic hearing manifests as words, phrases, and inner dialogue. You might even hear a song that gives you a message. Or a warning that comes with words.

People good in psychic hearing can hear when someone is lying to them, and they are good, uncomplicated and direct initiators.

Focal Point: Both sides of the head, just above the ears, in the area of the temporal lobes.

Seeing: Visionary
Seeing messages visually, such as a date, or someone’s energy field. With your eyes shut, your visual awareness shifts upward to your forehead.

Visionaries can often “see” when something is not right, and know what is wrong. They are excellent planners and have a very good sense of time and space.

Focal Point: The third eye.

Astronomy Picture of the Day – The North America and Pelican Nebulas

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2016 June 14

The North America and Pelican Nebulas
Image Credit & Copyright: Ezequiel Etcheverry

 

Explanation: Here lie familiar shapes in unfamiliar locations. On the left is an emission nebula cataloged as NGC 7000, famous partly because it resembles our fair planet’s continent of North America. The emission region to the right of theNorth America Nebula is IC 5070, also known for its suggestive outlines as the Pelican Nebula. Separated by a dark cloud of obscuring dust, the two bright nebulae are about 1,500 light-years away. At that distance, the 4 degree wide field of view spans 100 light-years. This spectacular cosmic portrait combines narrow band images to highlight bright ionization fronts with fine details of dark, dusty forms in silhouette. Emission from atomic hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen is captured in the narrow band image in scientifically assigned colors. These nebulae can be seen with binoculars from a dark location.

Earth Sky News for June 14: Moon and Spica

Moon and Spica on June 14

Tonight – June 14, 2016 – the moon couples up with Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo the Maiden.

No matter where you live worldwide, look first for the moon. The star closest to it on the sky’s dome will be Spica. You might also notice two very bright “stars” nearby. One is Jupiter and one is the red planet, Mars. The moon will be moving toward Mars in the coming few evenings. See a chart showing these planets, below.

Spica ranks as a first-magnitude star; in other words, it’s one of our sky’s brightest stars. But the glare from tonight’s waxing gibbous moon might make Spica look meek this evening. It might be easier to view the planet Saturn and the star Antares in the southeast at nightfall because they’re farther than Spica is from the moonlit glare. And it’ll be hard to miss the evening’s brightest planet, Jupiter, lighting up the western sky on these June evenings. Mars is nearly as bright as Jupiter, and it’s noticeably reddish in color.

Throughout the night, from everyplace worldwide, the moon, planets and stars will go westward across the sky. They go westward throughout the night for the same reason that the sun goes westward during the day. The Earth spins from west-to-east on its rotational axis, causing all these heavenly bodies to appear to travel from east-to-west every day. This apparent daily movement caused by the Earth’s rotation is called diurnal motion.

If you watch the moon from day to day, you can detect its true orbital motion around our planet. Over the course for the next several days, you’ll see the moon moving away Spica, and toward the brilliant planet Mars.

As always, the moon goes full circle in front of the backdrop stars of the zodiac in a little less than one calendar month.

The moon will meet up with the star Spica again on July 11, 2016.

Bottom line: The June 14, 2016 moon is near the star Spica on the sky’s dome and the moon is heading toward the red planet Mars.

Your Charm for June 14th is The Hei Tiki

Your Charm for Today

Today’s Meaning:
Now is an ideal time to learn. Your mind is particularly keen at this time for the study of witchcraft, divination and esoteric subjects. Knowledge affects this aspect.

General Description:
The Hei Tiki amulet is used by the Maoris of New Zealand. It is carved in jade, the sacred stone of the natives. Worn as a neck ornament for good luck, and to protect from witchcraft and evil spirits. These charms are regarded as valuable heirlooms, and are carefully handed down from father to son, as the talisman was believed to possess all the good qualities and virtues of their forefathers. The Hei Tiki is a curious and distorted representation of the human figure in the attitude of listening, the head leaning on the shoulder.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for June 14th is The Priestess

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Priestess



The Priestess is the Gatekeeper of the subconscious, the unknown. She travels in worlds which most of us only glimpse in our dreams. Her realm is that of unseen truths, untapped potentials, and hidden dangers. Purely Yin in nature, The Calling of The Priestess is to go beyond the obvious and visible to tap those powers which are veiled from normal vision. While she is passive by nature, she has the power to uncover unknown potential and is very aware of the infinite potential all humans harbor within them. She is also very patient. She can wait for events to blossom in their own time.

As a daily card, The Priestess suggest the answers you seek can only be found by looking beyond the obvious. This is a span in which you may do better by applying the power of your subconscious to your everyday actions. Your intuition should be very strong. Be patient, allow events to unfold and you will find propitious moments of opportunity.

How to Shuffle Tarot Cards

How to Shuffle Tarot Cards

Connect with your Tarot cards before a reading

By Gigi Santella

Videos, Tarot, Readings

Shuffling the Tarot cards before a reading is an essential step in the Tarot process. This quick action allows you to focus on why you’re conducting the reading and to imprint your energy on the cards.

Shuffle the Tarot cards yourself

Before even shuffling the cards, take a moment to reflect and relax. Reading Tarot is all about intuition. Your intuition will help you choose the best Tarot cards for your situation — but only if you can listen to your intuition over the noise of your everyday thoughts.

Then, get ready to shuffle the Tarot cards. If you are using a deck often used by others or you were in a different space/mood during your last reading, you need to override the previous energies so that nothing interferes with the clarity of the current reading. This is called “clearing the Tarot deck,” and shuffling is the easiest way to do this (also, there is something soothing about the physical action of moving the cards around that will help you relax).

As you shuffle, focus on the question for which you need answers. Many people find it helpful to say the question aloud, but this isn’t necessary.

The thing to remember is that there is no wrong way to shuffle your Tarot cards. No matter how you shuffle, it’s the energy and the intention that really matter. That said, you have several options for shuffling. Here are three of our favorites:

  1. “Playing Cards” method: Ever played poker? Use that same overhand method to bring the cards together by holding one half of the deck in each hand and fanning them together.
  2. “Cut The Deck” method: Repeatedly take a smaller stack of the cards and place them inside the larger deck at a random interval. Alternatively, cut the deck into many small piles and reorder them.
  3. “Pick Up Sticks” method: Take the whole deck and lay all the cards facedown on a table and scramble them all around. Then stack them again before picking a card.

For other ideas on how to shuffle your Tarot cards, check out Biddy Tarot’s YouTube video.

Any of these methods can be repeated as many times as you’d like — and even used together. For example, you can use the messy method once before cutting the deck twice. Again, it’s all about what feels right to you and making sure that your question or intention is really at the top of your mind as you concentrate on choosing your card or cards.
