Hi friends!
If you haven't seen the original post for the Psychic Witch readalong, you can find that .
Throughout the year, I will post the schedule for upcoming reading and which exercises to do. There will be a channel in the Discord () where we will discuss week to week, and then we will have occasional scheduled live chats as well as an end of book discussion.
As mentioned last time, I have been doing these exercises in person with two friends, and that has helped immensely in both setting time aside to do them as well as having a discussion around how we each individually adapt the exercises to work better for us. If I was doing this alone, I wouldn't have thought of adapting the exercises and I believe that is why I stopped in the past, as the wording and experience of some of these exercises don't quite work for me. I will be sharing in these updates our experiences with the exercises and would love if you shared your experiences as well in the comments or on Discord.
We originally were going to meet on the 3rd but had to push it back as my partner was in the hospital, so we completed these exercises yesterday.
We did not complete exercise 23 as that is a spell to be done on a full moon so that is something we will do individually. Together, we did complete the Black Roses exercise to identify clair areas where we may be stronger or weaker. I identified my strongest areas as clairvoyance and clairtangency, my friend Rachel identified her strongest as clairaudience, and my friend Ellie identified her strongest as clairvoyance and clairgustance. It was very interesting to hear all of our different experiences with these clairs during the exercises as well as how they show up in daily life. We then completed the Visualization exercise and Witch Eye Cleansing and Charging. The visualization exercise was very easy for Ellie and I, while Rachel had a harder time. We chose to adapt the Witch Eye Cleansing exercise as what Mat had in the book didn't resonate with any of us. Mine looked like cleansing the area in space where I visualize (which is to the upper left) with glowing, sparkling, golden light as if I was wiping smudges from glass, and then letting that light flow into my brain. Then to charge, I visualized each color of my aura working up my body and bouncing onto a mirror from a colored beam from that part of my body to the mirrored ball in front of my body and then into the Witch Eye. At the end, the colors all kalidescoped in my Witch Eye to charge. Rachel and Ellie both adapted the exercise to suit them as well, with all of using the chakra colors in some way.
We then are completing Seeing Basic Aura Energies and Seeing Auras Colors and Spirits seperately because we ran out of time. I have completed these and realized that I see basic aura energy pretty often. I was easily able to slip into this. The colors was a tad harder, but using what the exercise said to project the color worked well for me. I have to keep my eyes open though - blinking as suggested was not helpful for me. I ended up seeing a yellow/green aura that sometimes got darker. When looking up what a yellow/green aura meant, that also made a lot of sense with my personality, so it was a really cool experience.
Please complete this sequence yourself if you haven't already.
We plan to close out chapter 4 with the rest of the clairs exercises the next time we meet on May 31st and I will write a post about those experiences at that time.
Please complete this sequence yourself if you haven't already and complete chapter 4 by May 31st.
Looking forward to talking to you all more about this on Discord! I plan to schedule a live discussion after we finish chapter 4 if anyone is interested, so please let me know in the comments or on Discord if that's something you'd like to do.
