So, you’re curious about psychic ability and you’ve landed on this blog page. That means you’re really smart. Not only will you get some interesting information about what psychic ability is, but you’ll also learn more about how it works, how to develop it further( if you want), or even how to control those uncontrollable visions or behaviors that wig you out. You’ll also learn how to avoid the scam artists that abound on the Internet, in houses along the road, or storefronts in a strip mall.
I am writing a series of books about a girl named Calliope O’Callahan. She is a remarkable girl raised by a single parent who made a living as a Carnival Medium. You don’t know what that is? Well, you’ve probably seen one in a tent where the psychics ply their trade through crystals or Tarot cards looking for answers to your questions. If not, take a look around next time, they’re always there in a small corner at the State Fair. You may have considered going into that tent curious about your future or maybe to challenge their abilities. Go ahead, give it a try.
Calliope, or Callie as she is called for short, watched her mother at work and learned the skill of reading people the way her mother did. But what she was learning was mentalism not psychic ability. She picked up how to ask the right questions and watch those little physical responses we all make. Card players call them “tells”. Anyone raised in the world of fake psychics has learned mentalism claiming it’s psychic ability, and Callie uses this to her advantage. She gets better at it as she grows older getting a reputation amongst her clients as a phenomenal psychic. Is she just the carnival hack or does she have true psychic talent?
She’s good enough to get the attention of the Psy Syndicate. What a place it is, too. This very nice pile of bricks, situated in an upscale neighborhood in Raleigh, houses psychics who are learning, honing, and using their abilities while parapsychologists study them.
This blog is all about what the Psy Syndicate does in the fictional sense, but what other organizations such as the Rhine Research Institute, IONS, Monroe Institute, Windbridge Institute, and many others do to further our understanding of psychic ability.
