Magical Talents

There are many magical and intuitive talents. I asked my friends and very talented Spiritual Goddess their opinion as to whether or not the ability to see auras an aspect of being clairvoyant or is the ability to see auras completely separate from clairvoyancy. Here are some very diverse answers. If you have an answer you would like to offer an perhaps have posted on this website, please email me at earthyfaery@sbcglobal.net.


I say the ability to see auras belongs to everyone, where they are inherently clairvoyant or not. Additionally, I believe that everyone can develop their clairvoyant abilities to a certain degree.

I've always been taught that being able to see auras is a part of being clairvoyant. But everyone is clairvoyant to some extent; it just depends on how developed the skill is. People who don't believe in it just shut those senses down, some have them naturally developed and others have to work at it. I've only been able to see them on a few occasions and when least expected - I wasn't trying to see them. By the same token, it's not a skill that I have practiced at developing either. But, I can "see" other things very clearly with my inner vision, seeing auras just isn't one of them.

In regards to reading the Tarot: again, some people are going to have a natural flair for it while others will have to study the cards and books in order to awaken their intuition. Are they the same sense? That may depend on how you choose to interpret "clear seeing." Personally, I believe it's a matter of semantics and you can argue forever about semantics. Clairvoyance is going to be what it needs to be for the person who's learning to trust their inner vision and develop their intuition. If one can see auras, great. Does it mean they're not Clairvoyant? No. So, end the end I would chance to say that being able to see auras and "read" the tarot are skill sets underneath the umbrella term Clairvoyant, which has many skill sets underneath it.

My husband’s clairvoyant abilities do not come from books first; it's a very natural phenom with him. I'll often ask him if he "sees" colors around people. He says he really "feels" colors to be precise. The aura thing for him is not on the front burner, its kind of a by product of the other gifts he has in seeing. As for myself, I don't think I see auras per say. No colors around the head here. But I can read a persons energy very easily. So maybe it's just a different kind of seeing. I am also an excellent Tarot reader given that I am image oriented. So in my opinion I think that the topic goes deeper...it’s perhaps in the area of perception, how does one perceive or sniff out energies?

I think the key phrase here is "see." i feel that i can sense the color of an aura because i am a very adept clairsentient..........i am very sensitive to vibration at least in the universe i am god over. So as usual i feel addressing any subject one needs to ask oneself is it old paradigm...........or is there a new language and new perspective....

Seeing an aura is like paying attention when someone speaks to you, if you don't speak the same language..then it's lost. I remember seeing people's "halo's" when i was a little girl; it wasn't until i worked with energy and knew it by sight, touch, taste and smell that i truly understood. Clairvoyance is defined as power to see things that are not apparent to the senses, but as a witch my experience is through my senses. So ..to answer your question... clairvoyance could help in seeing an aura but in my opinion it isn't required.

I think people can see auras and not be clairvoyant. I think they are two different things. When you see auras, you are actually reading a kind of energy field, not necessarily seeing images or mental pictures, as the word clairvoyant would indicate. Some people who see auras also see mental pictures and images as well, but not necessarily.
Victoria Bearden, Astrologer and Psychic

In the 30+ years that I have been reading auras, being clairvoyant and reading people psychically, I have found the words or concepts of aura, clairvoyant, and psychic to be very different. In each of these modalities, there is an element of being able to see what others (not practices in these modalities) are unable to see. Even though they work very similar; when I use these modalities they feel very different to me.

For instance, when I see auras, I am actually using my sight sense. But I'm using it in the same fashion as that trick of looking at a flat picture until you can see the 3-D image in the picture. I'm actually relaxing my sight to be able to see what others cannot.

When I'm being clairvoyant, I'm reading something that cannot be perceived by my senses singularly. It's beyond that. It's as though you are watching a movie or listening to the radio. My senses are involved, but not in any linear way. It's like information is being delivered, and I am only required to record and relate it.

When I use my psychic ability, I'm using all my senses at once. I'm using all my senses to make sense of the information I'm receiving clairvoyantly. For instance, if I receive a picture of my client crying, I'll use my senses to see where (in my body) the information is coming through. If I feel it in my heart chakra, then I know that the info is related to my client picking up pain from someone else. And I will recommend that they cry away their friend’s pain, so they can feel better. If I feel it in my solar plexus, then the info is related to them not feeling grounded or safe. And I will recommend a breathing ritual that will help them get and feel grounded. If I feel it in my shoulder, then it may be related to an injury. And so on...

So, many others may see these modalities as the same, or similar; but as you can see, they are very different to me. And I am only equipped to relate my own experience.
