Through the centuries there have been many methods used to aid pychics and seers in the art of fortune telling, such as tarot or palm reading, and astrology. Most fortune telling techniques also rely on the psychic's clairvoyant or mediumship skills. When a pyschic connects to the unseen world, he or she will be using either their clairvoyance or mediumship abilities. Here you will find in-depth information about pyschics and fortune telling.

Clairvoyance
The word clairvoyance is a french word and literally means 'all seeing' but is used today when referring to the ability to read or see typically the hidden energy that psychics have the ability to connect to. Generally speaking there are three different ways of connecting to this energy, clairvoyance, clairsentient, and clairaudient but most people group the later two in with the more commonly known clairvoyance. Clairsentient and clairaudient however do not rely on seeing. Clairsentient relies on feeling and sensations and Clairaudient relies on hearing.

MediumshipThere are many psychics who have clairvoyant abilities. There are fewer psychics, however, who have developed themselves to a point where they can truly connect to spirit. Connecting to spirit is commonly known as practicing mediumship and generally means that the psychic has to work at a higher energy vibration level than the normal material world vibrates on. It is generally appreciated, by many psychics, that reaching a state where it's possible to connect to this high energy vibration can take years of practice. It is because of the time it can take to develop mediumship abilities that you will probably find more clairvoyance than you do mediums.

Finding a Good Pyschic
There are now many psychics available for readings and only some of those truly possess psychic abilities. So how can you be sure that you not going to end up with a fraud? below is a simple list of things you can do to establish whether you are getting your monies worth.

1. Check that the reader is associated with some credible organization such as BAPS (British Astrological and Psychics Society).Many genuine psychics are not registered with such an organization but if they are then it you can be fairly confident that they are not a charlatan. If you discover that the psychic you about to see is not registered then make sure, at least, that they are connected to some kind of organization such as a healing centre or shop. If they are connected to a reputable business or oganization you should have some way of getting a refund if you are not happy with the reading.
   
2. When you go for your reading don't give large amounts of information away, to the psychic, before and during the reading. If you wish to chat with them about your life then wait until the reading is finished. Most authentic psychics will not want you to tell them to much as this can also interfere with their ability to get a genuine connection.


3. A genuine psychic who is getting a reasonable connection will be able to come up with fairly specific, not general, information. An example of this kind of information will be a good description of someone's character or looks if it is a reading concerning an individual. If however you are being told that there is a man or woman in your life that cares for you deeply then you might want to ask the psychic to be more specific about the man or woman. Some genuine readers will also get this type of information along with more specific details but if they are only getting a vague connection, and all good psychics will get their fair share of them, then it is the authentic ones that will stop the reading and not charge you for it.

Tools of the Trade
There are many tools used to aid the practice of Clairvoyance and Mediumship.Oracle cards our probably the most popular tool today...

The Tarot is probably the most well known form of oracle cards. The Tarot was originally an Italian 15th century card game and the cards were known as trionfi cards, cards of the triumphs. After some time these became known as Tarot and then became popular for their assistance in fortune telling. Many psychics today still choose to use the tarot, to help them tap into their clairvoyance abilities. Some psychics have chosen to move away from the traditional tarot and now use softer more contemporary oracle cards, such as Doreene Virtue's Angel and Fairy Cards. Angel world currently stocks a wide range of oracle cards. To see a list of the oracle cards we currently have in stock please visit the oracle card shop page.
