The concept of the seer ought not to be taken too literally. One might “see” mystical and extraordinary things, but there are many ways to approach the threshold of spiritual mystery. The French word clairvoyant is familiar to most people with an interest in psychic phenomena—it is basically the French equivalent of seer, meaning “clear watcher”—but there are also clairaudients (clear hearers), clairsentients (clear feelers), and even clairscentrists (clear smellers), clairgustants (clear tasters) and clairtangents (clear touchers, or psychometrists). Many ways to access spiritual information exist; and anyone who is chosen to be a seer may find that their guidance comes in any of a variety of (extra) sensory ways.

The key point here is for all of us—even if we have no concept of ourselves as “seers” or “psychics”—to remain open to receiving guidance and insight through intuitive means that can reach us in an almost endless variety of ways. Celtic wisdom reminds us that the spirit world is always nearby—and so, the ways of communicating with it are always within reach.
