How do you personally train your clairvoyance? Did you ever have trouble visualizing and if so how long until it improved?
My answer might be a little disappointing - I've rarely tried to actively train my clairvoyance (outside of scrying sessions, that is).
It helps that I've always been quite a visual thinker. Whenever I try to process new information, such as through reading a book, I will tend to do so in images. Whenever I reflect on experiences, I do so visually.
However, if you are very keen on training clairvoyance specifically, there are a few things I can recommend:
Visual immersion
Expose yourself to as many kinds of visual art as possible. Pay attention to the strokes, lines, shapes, lighting, colour, movement, and so on. Immerse yourself.
You can go on e.g. Pinterest for convenience, but I also recommend visiting art galleries and live performances if possible because there is an added sense of 3-dimensional space.
Then, make a habit of remembering what you have seen, in as much detail as possible. Watch a video in real life, then do your utmost to re-watch the whole thing in your mind. Then, re-watch it in your mind it again, but change the outcome.
You can do this anywhere, but give it your active attention and you will gain more from the exercise.
The reason for this is, when you are performing divination and wish to see, you will draw upon your ability to visualise. Therefore inevitably, you will also draw on your memory of things you have already seen, and use it to piece together the new information provided by the reading. Your mind's eye needs to be experienced and flexible for this.
If you plan ahead to perform a reading on, say, relationships, then look at artwork, symbols and images related to that. If you're wanting to do a reading on travelling, spend some time looking at images of travelling supplies as well as destinations. If you want to do a health reading, then look at images pertaining to various parts of the physical and spiritual body.
Then you need to give yourself a cooldown period (let's say, a few days, but longer is better) before the reading. Because we most readily recall what we have recently seen, it may bias your judgement. So do the training, then give your mind some time to become un-attached to what you have viewed.
Study symbols
A picture is worth a thousand words. A symbol is worth a thousand more. There is plenty of social, cultural, emotional, intellectual and historical information contained within symbols. An entire world contained within a single simple image. Which is why both our minds, and the spirits, will draw upon their informative power to communicate.
If you look into someone's eyes and see a green serpent, what does that mean? In the world of symbolism, a snake is not just a snake. A snake is wisdom, danger, cunning, cyclical transformation. Green is not just the green of plants and trees, it has been associated with healing, vitality, kindness, jealousy, poison.
Colours, animals, weather, directions, shapes, sizes, objects, elements, stars and planets - everything is more than what it is.
For your clairvoyance to be effective, you'll want to learn the language of symbols. Both your personal language (understanding what each symbol means to you) as well as having a general grasp of what certain symbols mean to other people on a societal or cultural scale.
The root of all clairs
I personally believe that claircognisance is the root of all the clairs. In divination and scrying, before one sees, hears, smells or feels anything, we have to already know the nature of the thing on a subconscious level. That information is then transcribed into a sensation, depending on the particular senses we are most habitually attuned to.
Which means if you're struggling with clairvoyance, it might mean your strengths lie elsewhere. You'll get more out of working with your strongest clair, and letting that support the improvement of your less-developed clairs.
I hope this was helpful, good luck in your training 🌿

Any tips on or recommended sources to research about astral projection/travel? :)
Thank you for your time!
Here are a few resources that helped me! Astral Dynamics Astral Travel for Beginners Erin Pavlina
My note: not everyone is going to have a similar experience astral projecting/traveling. For me, it was really hard while others seemed to have it easier.
That being said, there is one element that's helped me in understanding the astral a little better, as well, that I feel isn't talked about as much, and that is that the astral is more of a spectrum than an on and off switch. That's why bilocating is a thing; you're 50% here and 50% in the astral. Dream traveling is closer to projection because you're unconscious here but not necessarily out of body. Your consciousness is what travels, not your astral body, if that makes sense.
if I were to "rate" the spectrum from physical to astral, it would be: - 0%: physical state (those not in tune with anything from the astral, including clairsenses) - 10% clairsenses - 25-30%: remote viewing - 45% mental plane (magic in your headspace) - 50%: bilocating - 75%: dream travel/astral travel - 100%: astral projection
Furthermore, the points before bilocating or whatever else aren't "pre-requisites." You don't have to master remote viewing before astral projection, and you don't have to master being in the mental plane before dream traveling (although, it would help). It's like if someone says you have a "70% chance of rain," it doesn't really have to be 10% raining or 40% raining beforehand; it can just come in thunder-storming. Some people have more of an affinity to dream travel or project than they do with clairsenses, for example.
Basically, there's going to be a lot of information regarding astral travel, methods used, safety precautions, etc., but it's not as daunting as you may think. Exercise safety, of course, but perhaps you are already more in tune with the astral than you think!

Weirdly enough, working at a car dealership has helped me as a witch.
When I look for prior paintwork on a used car, it's not just about being able to feel textures, it's about discerning whether the textures I feel are actually signs of paintwork or if this particular car is just Like That.
Similarly, psychism isn't just about being able to feel vibes, it's about discerning whether the vibes I feel are actually from psychism or if the person/place/situation is just Like That.

Hay House: Unlock The Secrets of Card Reading (Day 2)
Day 2! While I feel like this is a bit short, it is a free sneak peek-so I get it! But loving what I am getting so far.
Tumblr media
Today we have "Speaking with Your Spirit Guides: Call in Your Etheric Helpers" featuring Kyle Gray, Abiola Abrams, Denise Linn, and Karen Kay.
Speaking with Your Spirit Guides: Your guides are here to help guide you on your human journey. To listen to your guides, you have to start listening to your inner voice first. Most people have more than one guide. Ask for help when you yourself are in a calm place. There various kinds of guides: Master guides, heavens/angels, Earthly helpers, Ancestors. A very good reading based off of that. Go within to connect to your spirit guides. We all have different gifts to interpret messages from spirit. Think about your clair senses.
Honestly, my favorite part about today was the fact there is someone not afraid to work with fairies. We all think we know so much about fairy tales but refuse to acknowledge the beings behind that. While I do not know if I am ballsy enough to do so myself, I love seeing more people that are. I am looking forward to day 3!

Rewatching The Bear 2x03 is actually crazy and feels so clarifying because like...
The ep starts with Carmy speaking at Al-Anon about fun, and how maybe he needs to have more of it. He acknowledges that fun is complicated for him because as a kid his family tended to ruin things for him, even though this was often unintentionally done. He says that he thinks if he had more amusement or enjoyment in his own life then it would be easier to provide that for other people. (Big note here that part of the purpose OF a restaurant is to provide amusement and enjoyment for people. Then add in Luca's conversation with Marcus in 2x04 about how the best food comes from being open and inspired, and spending time in the world. So Carmy having fun could theoretically make him better at his job.)
Anyway, Carmy gives that spiel at Al-Anon. Then we get a brief interlude of Syd looking at articles about recent restaurant closings and being stressed.
And then we're immediately back with Syd and Carmy cooking together in his kitchen. She fucks up a dish again, and he suggests they stop cooking and do a palate reset.
Like... this all happens within the first five minutes of the ep. This man has been musing about how he needs to have more fun.... and then he suggests spending the day eating in the city with Syd..... ergo that's his definition of fun. This is literally him making an attempt at doing something for amusement or enjoyment!! He planned this!! I fully believe he had this idea even before Sydney fucked up the dish. This man said I need to have more fun and you know what would be fun? Spending the day with my business partner eating delicious food. So he sends her home with plans to meet in an hour.
And then. AND THEN. Claire calls. First of all when she asks if he's busy, he looks at the white board and the very first thing on the To Do list is "call fridge guy" so like. lmao. I love foreshadowing. And he literally is busy!!! Not with unpleasant tasks to do but with something FUN. Something fun that he planned FOR himself.
And what is it that Claire asks him to do? Is it something fun? No. She asks him to HELP HER MOVE her mom. Like, the least fun task in the history of anything, the thing that people historically HATE being asked to help with. And he doesn't look excited about it! He looks torn. He looks...weird idk. Like ohhhh it's actually so crazy that Carmy bails on a truly fun day with Sydney in order to do a manual labor favor for Claire.
This is so ripe for analysis you simply cannot tell me it doesn't mean anything.
Carmy thinks about how he needs more fun, plans a fun day for himself, and then, when someone he tried to avoid asks him to do a not fun favor, he says yeah, I'll do that instead.

your dad disappears when you're a kid and you find out he's leaving cause an angel kidnapped him and is using his body. because of this your mom goes mad and leaves too. weren't angels supposed to be guardians? your daddy taught you that. you don't ever hear from your dad anymore, some postcards from your mom. your grandparents die and you're alone in the foster care system. several years later, you see your dad again. he's aged and he looks fine, but actually he's dead, the angel killed him and is still using his body. the only people you thought you could call family sell you out, and are murdered in cold blood by the angel's killing machine friend. you find your mom. she'd been a prisoner for two years and another angel had been feeding on her soul. she immediately sacrifices herself for you. the next day you forgive him (he still looks like your dad) and he and his friends offer to help you. they make sure you have a house and a nice woman to take care of you. he took away your family. but he also gave you a new one. you're happy now. you can't help but start loving him too. how can you love the one that ruined your life, without thinking about it once? he's changed now, he's a totally different person. but he still looks like your dad. i wonder: how much of claire's love for cas is just love for her father, placed in the next best thing?

"Hang on, Claire... my cop sense is tingling..."
Tumblr media
Leon, why are you so fucking awkward?
But yeah, the Resident Evil 2 Survival Guide strikes again... sorta.
So, the Survival Guide has some incomplete but original uncut scripts from Resident Evil 2 in it and I spotted this while looking it over.
I'll try to post the entire script (save for the missing beginning to Leon's A campaign) at a later date. The formatting for it is a bit weird and I gotta figure all that out.

Are Ash’s wings important in TWP because they’re a visual metaphor, comparing Ash to a bird stuck in a cage?
Is Ash going to sacrifice his wings for his own liberation from the court?
Is Ash going to sacrifice his wings for the liberation of the Shadow World as we know it?
I’m starting to think that Ash’s character arc is going to follow a theme of freedom. For him, for everyone he comes to know and love.

just thought about it but do any of the claire/wayward sisters-meeting-jack scenarios take all the canon jack stuff into account or is it all mostly just detached silly stuff . Because I think it would be really funny if he shows up at Jody’s house like hello :D it’s so nice to meet u all :3 and one of them (probably alex) just deadpans like “hey weren’t you on the news for making the earth swallow a fake healer up once what was that about”
