Practical clairvoyance, psychomancy and crystal gazing

The term Psychomancy (pronounced, sy-ko-man-see), is derived from two Greek words, the first psycho, meaning the soul; the mind; the understanding (and generally used to indicate psychic or unusual powers of the soul or mind); the second word, mancy meaning to divine; to foresee, or foreknow; to detect secret things,-and in occult parlance, to sense, or to receive impressions by the Astral Senses. So the word, as we use it, may be said to mean Psychic Sensing, and in this work will be so used. The word Psychomancer means one practicing Psychomancy; and the word Psychomantic means relating to Psychomancy.The word Clairvoyance is frequently used by people to designate some of the phases of Psychomancy, but strictly speaking this term is incorrect when used in this sense, the true occult meaning of the word Clairvoyance, being transcendental vision, or the perception of beings on another plane of existence?the seeing of disembodied souls, elementals, etc. And so, in this work, we shall consider the true phenomena of Clairvoyance, as distinct from that of Psychomancy.
