The Clair-Senses are often thought to be the basis of psychic abilities or impressions. Most people have a Clair Sense that seems like it’s the strongest. Do you know what your strongest Clair Sense is? Clairvoyance — Clear seeing. People who are clairvoyant either see pictures or short 'movies' in their mind's eye. They might also pick up on symbols in their environment. Clairaudient — Clear hearing. People who are clairaudient might hear messages from their guides, spirits, or pick up messages in songs and conversations. Claircognizant — Clear knowing. People who are claircognizant often just 'know' things, as if they get information or understanding out of thin air. Clairsentient — Clear feeling. People who are clairsentient can feel the emotions or feelings of others. They might pick up the energy of a room or even historical energy in super charged situations. There are also Clairsenses related to taste (Clairgustance) and smell (Clairalience).

One of the things that might come up for you as a symbolic or totally Clairsentient experience is temperature. We’ve all seen the movies that show a room getting really cold as a sign that a spirit has entered the area. And we know that coldness can indicate indifference and/or outright disdain for someone. And then there’s hot. It’s passionate, fiery, turned on, aggressive. Hot can refer to the pits of Hell or something so attractive that you might get burned. Warm and cool are similar in nature, but less intense. The different qualities can show up in color palates, too. Reds, yellows, and oranges signify warmth and heat while blues and greens are often cooler colors. Color can have an impact not only on our interpretation of an image, but also on our mood and attitude — but we’ll talk more about that tomorrow! What do you think about temperature in terms of intuition and symbolism? Do you have any ideas to share?

Animals are one of the most common symbol-systems I work with. They can convey so much information. Think about the characteristics of different animals. Are they known to be pack animals or solitary creatures? Are they highly intelligent? Do they fly or swim -- or both? Animals can pop up in so many ways as well. You can see them "in the wild" or on your TV. You can use animal symbolism as a form of divination, too!

Mice can be a powerful symbol. What could it mean when you see mice? How do they affect the world around them? What could their message for you be? Card from the Gilded Reverie Lenormand deck by Ciro Marchetti

I would love to know what “living a magical life “ means to the people in this group! For me, it is being connected to my intuition and to the Universe in a way that helps me manifest what I desire in life and also allows me to grow, thrive, and help others. It’s recognizing the signs that show up around me and helping others see —for themselves— what’s hidden in plain sight. I believe we have so much more power and connection than we know about, and learning to work with symbols, signs, and with our Higher Selves/Meta Selves, can cause massive positive changes in our lives. Those changes can ripple out and influence our communities and our worlds. And now is the time for us to lern about and make use of these powers so we can help shift from whatever this fear-driven, nonsensical world is to a state of harmony and paradise on Earth. It might be a big goal, but I’m starting small and helping others where I can.
