You could be blocked, like your energy. I used to be able to do a lot more than I can now. I feel a lot of it is all the distractions in life, and many things telling you all those gifts are impossible. But I kept believing that those things did happen and by my own skill. So I have to remind myself once in a while that I am completely capable of doing things.
Try reconnecting to that feeling of power you had before and try to remember those things happened before the world told you that it wasn't possible.
Hello, well, what I reccomend is that you create a record book, that is to say, you should do what I did when I found myself in a similar situation, that is this, I sat down and I pulled up information on the show Charmed *which is a big inspiration for my path* and I looked through the powers and spells of Charmed and I asked myself did I do this and if yes what happened, and I wrote it down and moved on to the next spell or power and when I got done I looked at the 7 page list that I had created and I looked back and as I was remembering each and every spell or power, I felt a reawakening in me of the powers and spells and of magic itself and I was reminded of a quote from the grandmother in the show she says, "We're witches, honey, we can do anything," now I also ask myself this question, "If you are wanting to do something, and you look up how to do that, and you find the results it say, then you proceed with the steps to do what was described, and you get the results that were already spoken of, would you argue with yourself?" I hope all of this helps.

Emilut most of what you experienced was at young ages where your imagination and mind are wide open. On one hand this means that half of what happened might have been coincidence such as the elemental things you mentioned but at the same time your mind was more open to the possibilites that the adult mind shuts out. As you grew older you slowly began on some unconcious level to likely shut some of these things out as being possible. Did anything happen recently beyond simply seeming to lose your most recent abilities? A trauma or some strain could have weighed on your mind recently which is resulting in a mental block. You might consider meditation but you may just need to relax. Try not to become stressed and let things come naturally.
Mage1248 90% of Charmed is....well I like the show but it isn't exactly realistic. I can think of 1 spell from the show that is remotely possible and that's contacting spirits. Demon vanguishing, turning humans into animals, vanishing or repairing things with a rhyme, altering ones physical appearance, etc...aren't really possible outside of Hollywood. Life is chaotic enough without Barbas showing up on my doorstep on Friday the 13th or accidentally blowing up a stop light by waving my hands in irritation.

Mage1248 I did not mean to offend you nor anyone else and if you've had success in that area that's great. I also did not say what has occured for them in the past didnt happen just that some things like the elements can at times be a coincidence especially as they were young when those events occured yet I never said that it didn't happen. I actually stated that at a young age your mind is more open making such things more possible or that was my meaning. As you grow older your mentality changes and you can shut some things out. I was also wondering if something else had affected them mentally lately that might have blocked even more out rather than their abilities simply stopping as there should be some cause and effect rather than just randomness. I also suggested it might be stress and was not downplaying their experiences in the slightest.
Your comment however I admit I was implying that what you stated sounded implausble. Wicca is a religion and doesnt even mean that a Wiccan even practices casting spells nor is the foundation of magick the concept that anything is possible. Magick as a whole can open you up to more possibilites but it has limits like everything else. Typically magick is restricted by the laws of nature, phsyics, etc..as we are human beings not ethereal entities.
I like to think of the limits one tends to have as both positive and negative. Yes it would in theory be amazing if some of the magick depicted in things like movies were possible but then I think of all the chaos a person can cause without magick. We have limits because as humans we can do damage to the world and each other without godlike abilities. Good things could come about through such fantastical abilities but so could great darkness/destruction as the world tends to be balanced with equal parts.
Thanks for helping and I want to say that I always believed that I have powers except when I was 9 but when I started using again they were fine.By the way I am still a child and It all happened all of a sudden when I was trying to make my friend not have to go to the bathroom and it didn't work and tomorrow when I wanted to do a prediction I got it all wrong.One question can they be dormant?Or do I have to recharge them with an amulet or a talisman?

They don't need to be recharged but it sounds like self doubt is the culprit. You failed in casting a spell and then you got a prediciton wrong which have made you doubt your abilities. Predicting the future is imprecise at the best of times because the future is always changing and trying to alter a person's physical needs like that could have caused a health problem. A person needs to go to the bathroom for a reason and preventing that by non-magick means could potentially cause health issues down the line so trying to do the same with magick could have had similar negative results in the long run. You seem to be using magick a lot for many different things when you may need to pace yourself a bit. Try not to get stressed over this.

"So when I was 6 I could feel many things and even talk to many people.When I was 8 I was able to call upon wind but I lost that power but at least it was replaced with calling rain.When I was 10 I learned healing and the ability of locating things.About 2 weeks ago I started getting telepathy and I was able to make a curse called evil eye and about 3 days ago I lost it all.If anyone knows what happened, please let me know.I want to say that this never happened and I can't even feel magic in me"
I'll be blunt, you haven't lost anything, most of the things you believe you had didn't exist in the first place.
You never had the 'power' to call upon wind or rain, that's just impossible.
If you did learn healing when you were 10 as you say then that is a skill (which required study and practice), you need to continue using a skill or it may fade "use it or lose it"
Psychic development is also a skill, while it is easier to learn if you are naturally psychic it is still a skill that requires study and practice - which can also fade if you don't use it consistently.
You don't need any specific psychic skills to curse someone.
I suggest you do some study of the basics of magic, how it works, how to use the energy around you, how to send and ground energy. There is a great post called The Basics Expanded that you could read through to start with.
A practice I have heard of being conducted by monks is the empty cup mind. If one continues to fill the vessel of the mind when it is full it will overflow. A good practice is to disregard all previous knowledge when learning of something new. By shutting out the I can't do this imposed by society you can better focus on the I can.
I just think you need to meditate and focus. A lot of things and answers we seek are usually found in a meditative state (btw prayer is a form of meditation as well, if that helps). Energy manipulation plays a major part in almost everything that is attached to magic and spells. If your desire and goal is to regain or strengthen abilities you feel you have, that is the best path to take.
In regards to environmental and elemental manifestation of your abilities, it could be a powerful imagination. Not to discredit how you feel, but that type of power is extremely rare LIKE EXTREMELY rare. And if you had that type of power at your disposal, you wouldn't be having these problems of being blocked.
