Clairolfaction (clear smell) is a lesser known psychic gift; however, it's more commonly experienced than you might think.
Many tarot readings I've given have included this discussion: Smelling roses, oranges, aftershave, etc. when there is no reason or basis is a clue. A loved one is trying to connect with you in a positive way so you might notice their presence.
10 Common Signs You’re Feeling The Thinning of the Veil
1. Sleep is really rough.
You have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. And it’s not uncommon that you wake up at the same time every night, particularly around 3am.
2. Dreaming is exhausting.
Your dreams suddenly are ratcheting up to like 1000 on a scale of 1 to 10. Things are really vivid and sometimes really kind of fu**ed up and weirder than normal.
3. Your house is like Grand Central for spirits. You feel like you’ve got a lot of “visitors” around the house. This is what my husband calls the spirits that connect with. You might notice you have the feeling that you have a lot of spirits popping in and out of your space and you can either see them or distinctly feel them.
4. Your furry babies seem to be going literally insane. All of a sudden you start to notice that your pets are seeing things that aren’t there…more so than usual. We know our pets are more sensitive to energies than we usually are but we really notice it now. So by proxy, this affects you too.
5. Being sick is just normal now.
Getting sick and feeling run down just happens this time of year for you. This isn’t the craziest sign you’re feeling the effects of the thinning of the Veil, but for some people, this can be pretty intense. Maybe you normally just get a cold or two during the winter or early spring but mid-September through October you might get an all-out flu.
6. You feel like you’re living in the saddest movie ever. Everything makes you emotional, even more so than normal. It’s not uncommon for sensitive people or empaths to be an emotional lot, but this time of year you can be a walking Kleenex commercial on most days.
7. You have moments where you feel like you’re in another world. You just feel ungrounded and “not here” a lot. This can manifest in just being more daydreamy than usual, being forgetful or feeling like your attention is being drawn to odd places for no reason.
8. Suddenly you’re the most psychic psychic of all the psychics in the psychic world. Your intuition and any divination you do is super clear. This is an important one because it’s easy to see all these other things as being problematic or possibly negative, which they aren’t. One of the more enjoyable aspects of the thinning Veil is that the spirits are more “in our ear” {sometimes literally} when we’re doing readings or connecting to our intuition.
9. You smell things that aren’t there so you’re constantly WebMD making sure you’re not having a stroke. Suddenly you’re smelling things that aren’t anywhere near you. First, make sure you’re not having a stroke, then observe what you’re smelling without fear. This is one of the ways a lot of spirits become noticeable to us. So you might smell flowers that remind you of your grandmother or a cologne your father used to wear.
10. You often feel like you’re on fire or freezing to death for no reason. You start to feel like you have hot and cold flashes for no reason. As long as this is not something that’s normal for you, meaning you’re not already sick or you’re not going through physical changes {damn those hormones!} chances are you’re feeling the energetic shift in the air as spirits and energies move around through the Veil.
Some people experience all of these and some only experience a few. The important thing when using these are markers for an experience with the spirit world, and the thinning Veil is that they aren’t fluke occurrences.
Whatever you’re experiencing you’re experiencing pretty consistently during this period from mid to late September into the start to November. You’ll likely feel it the most around the last week of October around Halloween and Samhain, partly because we’re conditioned to.
