Thank you so much for sharing your insight—it really resonates with me. I’ve been walking this path quietly for a while now, observing, listening, journaling, and trying to make sense of all these feelings and knowings that don’t always have a clear explanation. What you said about checking in with your senses and building a relationship with them really clicked for me.

I think I’ve always been naturally clairsentient or maybe even claircognizant—I tend to just know things before they happen, like when someone is about to text or call, or I feel the presence of something shift in the room even if nothing is physically there. I’ve noticed the weather sings on my skin and certain places carry a charge that I can’t explain. It’s subtle, but powerful.

There’s a part of me that still feels alone in this, even though my family is spiritual in their own ways. We’ve had deep talks about lucid dreaming, dimensions, auras... but I think I’ve been expecting more. Maybe something louder or more dramatic. And I’ve been warned before that this is a path I shouldn’t follow—that it’s dangerous or strange—but that hasn’t stopped the feeling that something’s calling me. It feels like home, like a memory I haven’t quite remembered yet.

I’ve done a lot of healing work, especially around my inner child. I know I’m creative, sensitive, passionate, and maybe a little too kind—but I truly believe that softness is part of what helps me sense the unseen. I’m learning to trust it more and more. Your words reminded me to stay curious, to build ritual around my senses, and to let the unknown be a space of exploration rather than expectation.

Thank you again for holding space for this conversation. It’s deeply appreciated, and I’m always open to learning more—especially from people who speak with this kind of heart and experience.

Hi everyone,💖

I’ve been diving into the world of witchcraft and spirituality, and I’m discovering that while I have a deep belief in spirits, energies, and the existence of different dimensions, I don’t always see them—or feel them the way I expect to. I know there’s something more beyond the physical, and I’m starting to understand how lucid dreaming, clairvoyance, and intuition can all play a role in tapping into that hidden world.

But, here’s where I’m at—I can sense it, and I believe it, but the experience still feels just out of reach. I feel energy, have intuitive flashes, and sometimes, I wonder if I’m missing something crucial. How do I begin to bridge the gap between belief and actual experience? Is there a way to truly connect with spirits or sense other dimensions more clearly?

I’ve been thinking a lot about fairies and nature spirits, too. I feel a pull toward them but haven’t quite figured out how to build a relationship with those beings. I would love to hear from anyone who has explored these things more—how did you nurture that connection?

I guess my biggest question is: How do you begin to truly see the unseen?✨

Any guidance or stories would be so appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Book Review

Title: The Encyclopedia of Natural Magic

Author: John Michael Greer

Genre/Type: Herbal Magic, Reference, Spellbook

My Personal Thoughts: This book is a good combination of practical exercises, theory, and reference material, and I think it is great book for beginners just starting out. I think it would also make a great reference for anyone who has been practicing for a while, and maybe wants to learn or incorporate a new kind of magic into their practice as well. The information is presented in a way that is easy to understand, and my favorite part of it is probably the way the book approaches magical theory. I'd say overall the book fully addresses each of the primary components of what makes up magic based on the natural world.

Technical: The information is presented pretty neutrally, without much overt catering to any one tradition, though Greer's background as a druid is present. The book is well organized, moving from the theoretical to the practical to the creative personalization/choice of how to incorporate the magic being taught into your practice. It includes a section in the middle with organized tables of correspondences and uses of a variety of materials using a variety of categories for quick reference. It includes a decently sized bibliography in the back with relevant sources, and has an index as well for easier look-up. I think this is a good resource on combining multiple specific magics into a broader practice.

Overall Rating: 4/5
