Do you feel different from others around you? Do you sometimes know what will happen in the future? Do you have a tendency to answer people before they ask a question? Have your friends come to you for answers since you were a child? Do you want to find out if you are a witch? There is an overwhelming tendency in popular fiction to show an ordinary person who has some extraordinary skills being visited by an old mage, a spirit or a messenger one day and being told they are a witch or a wizard or a shaman. But for most of us, that older, wiser person never arrives, we have to do the discovering ourselves. This book will explore extraordinary skills, show you how to test if you have them, and if you don't it will show you how to develop them. It also explains in depth what a witch is and what a witch's path entails. It also delineates other paths a person with an interest, or abilities, in extraordinary skills can follow.
