LESSON I.
THE NATURE OF PSYCHOMANCY.
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.
In this work, we shall regard as the true phenomena of Psychomancy, all
the various phenomena known as Psychometry; Crystal Gazing; Perceiving
Distant Scenes; a perception of Past Events, and Indication of Future
Events; either in the full waking state; the state of reverie; or the
state of dreams.
And, so this work will examine, consider, and explain, the various
phases of phenomena above indicated--in short, the phenomena of
~"sensing" objects by means of Astral Senses~, omitting the phenomena
of Clairvoyance, or seeing disembodied souls, etc., which we regard as
belonging to a different phase of the general subject, and which
require special consideration and examination.
