A psychic is a person who claims to have an ability to perceive information hidden from the normal senses through extrasensory perception (ESP), or who is said by others to have such abilities. The word "psychic" is also used to describe theatrical performers, such as stage magicians, who use techniques such as prestidigitation, cold reading, and hot reading to produce the appearance of such abilities.

Description[]

The psychics in The Raven Cycle go to an abandoned church in town on St. Mark's Eve to watch the souls of the soon-to-be-dead as they pass on the dirt track and into the church. They take their names and inform the families so that they can spend their final moments together before they die within the next twelve months. The only people who can see them are psychics and seers. The only reason a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark's Eve is either because he or she is your true love, or because you killed them.

Psychic Readings[]

A psychic reading is a specific attempt to discern information through the use of heightened perceptive abilities, or natural extensions, of the basic human senses of sight, sound, touch, taste, and instinct. Different psychics have different ways of doing their readings. Blue Sargent's family uses tarot cards and they hold readings by appointment only.
