think of it, and you will find yourself sliding back into your body. When your consciousness reabsorbs into your physical self, so will the astral chariot and the excess substance you projected, as it all originally belonged to you in the first place. Affirm this for yourself just to make sure. Click into place, and allow time for readjustment and grounding.
    Flying!
    Spirit flight is an amazing skill to possess. Like any skill, it only improves with practice. It’s not about perfection; it’s not an exact science. However, if you follow the method outlined above (or any other technique you feel drawn to use) and do so with passion, a desire for success, and integrity, then there is no doubt that you will soar!
    There are many metaphysical theories that detail the delicate nature of the astral realm and what it is to project and travel with and through it. I have never really given it much thought beyond its existence, the implications thereof, and how these may affect my spirit flight. I don’t really try to paint otherworldly geographies whereby these different realms are given structure through division and labelling. My advice is not to worry so much where you go but how you go.
    There are so many wondrous and ecstatic experiences to be had in spirit—so many realms, worlds, and possibilities to explore! You can even stay on this plane and visit the country or sacred site of your choice. I remember exploring the ruins of the temple grounds at Eleusis before I physically visited in October 2008. The astral experience matched vividly with my physical presence at the temple grounds. However, when I flew in spirit to Eleusis, the buildings themselves were not in ruins, as they are today. I have also flown through what seemed to be Salem, Massachusetts (USA), and I’ve had many an adventure around the land of Oz. The possibilities are infinite, and to use that old cliché, the only limit is your imagination!

    [ 2 ] The difference between astral travel and trance journeying is the emphasis on conscious awareness and the metaphysical transportation of the awareness that is required for the former. Trance journeying, though it also requires a loosening of the astral self, is similar to gnosis in that the consciousness expands and encompasses different realities and therefore other realms. Astral travel is designed to condense awareness into a singular vessel so that greater movement can be applied to an individuated perception. It truly does enable you to fly!

    [ 4 ] Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips are the carriers-on of the Hermetic Ogdoadic Tradition. The Order Aurum Solis, which was founded in 1897 and exists today, is the leading exponent of this ancient magickal philosophy.
    [ 5 ] Duplicate yourself; however, to create flow of movement, make sure that you are viewing your back (of the chariot/double) from your vantage point.

    I also learned to see, and this was a different kind of seeing which came first by night.
    —Vivianne Crowley, Phoenix from the Flame
    Clairvoyance means “clear sight,” and therein lies the inspiration for this chapter’s title. I am fortunate enough to have been born into a family in which these psychic gifts of clear sight (or “the Sight”) have always been nurtured and promoted. I remember instances when I lived at home with my mother when people would ask for readings and guidance, and, as I was only a young
