Interview – Cat Gina Cole, Author of “Psychic Skills for Magic and Witchcraft”
Relearning Her Psychic Abilities Leads to a Book Teaching Others To Do the Same From a very young age, Cat Gina Cole knew she was different. She saw and heard things others did not. She would converse with the fae and experience remote viewing. She was fortunate to have family that understood those things and helped teach her about them. “Psychism has always been something that I’ve had.

The ancestral practices in the book are coming from my ancestors who began appearing in my dreams when I was in my mid to late teens. It was in this way that I…
