About the author
Marcia L. Pickands is the author of Psychic Abilities: How to Train and Use Them and Psychic Self-Defense Personal Training Manual, both published by Weiser Books. The first offers a series of exercises intended to develop psychic potential through work with symbolic systems including tarot, numbers, and dreams, presented as a training course for readers seeking to read psychic information more fluently. The second addresses the other side of the same subject, teaching readers to recognize what the book calls psychic disturbance and to build defenses against it in both ordinary and extraordinary situations. Both titles are structured as practical manuals rather than theoretical or historical works, consistent with Weiser's line of hands-on esoteric instruction. They are aimed at readers already committed to psychic development as a discipline, offering exercise-based training rather than an introduction to the underlying concepts.
