I was reading The Crooked Path: An Introduction to Traditional Witchcraft by Kelden for the Spells8 Book Club XXX and came across a quote that made me think of this Weekly Witchy Challenge, so I figured I’d share it here!

Like some people, I typically have a hard time visualizing things in the typical sense of the word: I have a hard time seeing things in my mind’s eye. Kelden eloquently pointed out that visualization isn’t just seeing things, but rather “having a full tactile experience with something mentally.”

“The process of visualization occurs when a specific thought or idea is turned into a clear mental image. For example, you may think of an apple and then proceed to see the fruit within your mind’s eye. In addition to seeing an image, you may also touch, hear, smell, and taste it. As such, you may also feel the visualized apple as you hold it, hear yourself bite into its surface, smell its aroma, and taste its flavor. Hence, visualization is a way of not only seeing but also having a full tactile experience with something visually.” (Kelden, The Crooked Path, page 35)

Hopefully this reminder will serve to encourage me and anyone else who has difficulty seeing things during visualizations – maybe we’ll be able to experience the other senses in our future visualization endeavors! :slight_smile:
