Are you talking about premonitions/ intuition? Or do you base your foresight on logic? I could see beforehand when I was younger, but I based my intuition on science, and people around me at the church run school thought I was consulting with the devil- then again, they said that since my father died when I was only 3, I was sired by the devil himself. There’s no accounting for taste back there!

We all go through that. You will gain confidence the more often you use it and recognize how it is leading you through true experiences. Be patient and gentle with yourself. Knowing you’ve never had to deal with confidence issues may have been a blessing or a hint that you weren’t stretching yourself much into the unknown. Either way, welcome to the rest of the world.

Even though these are closed (they do reopen occasionally!) some of these exercises and prompts might be helpful to you at any point in your magical journey.
