Details
Psychic Witch by Mat Auryn bridges psychic development and witchcraft practice in a way few books manage — 90+ hands-on exercises for developing energy perception, clairvoyance, claircognizance, and other psychic senses as direct extensions of magical ability. Auryn’s approach treats psychic and magical skill as deeply intertwined rather than separate disciplines, making this essential reading for practitioners who want to sharpen their energetic perception alongside their spellcraft.

Where Psychic Ability Meets Magical Practice
Most books on psychic development treat it as a standalone topic, separate from magical or witchcraft practice. Most books on witchcraft assume you already have some degree of energetic perception. Mat Auryn's Psychic Witch is unusual in that it treats the two as inseparable: you can't do effective magic without developing your psychic sensitivity, and psychic development is itself a form of magical practice. That integration is what distinguishes it from the other books in both categories.
The book is structured to build skills progressively, starting with grounding and meditation, moving through extrasensory perception, the triple soul model used in some witchcraft traditions, shielding, and working with elemental and celestial energies. Over ninety exercises give it the feel of a workbook as much as a text, which is part of why it has remained a recommended read in the witchcraft community since its original publication by Llewellyn.
How to Use Psychic Witch
Getting the most from Mat Auryn's layered approach to psychic and magical development.
-
Work Chapter by Chapter
Read through a chapter, then put the book down and actually do the exercise before moving on. Auryn builds skills sequentially, and skipping ahead makes later exercises less effective. Each chapter is short enough to complete in one sitting.
-
Keep a Practice Journal
Keep a dedicated journal alongside the reading. Many of the ninety-plus exercises in the book ask you to note your perceptions and track changes over time. A handwritten record helps you see patterns and measure your development honestly.
-
Revisit Early Chapters
Return to the earlier chapters after a few months of practice. The grounding and meditation sections that seem basic at first become richer once you've worked through the full range of exercises. Most practitioners find second reads are more useful.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry this book because customers regularly ask me for something practical on psychic development that doesn't require a background in any specific tradition. Psychic Witch delivers that. It's one of the few books I recommend to both complete beginners and to experienced practitioners who want to sharpen their energetic perception.
