I think we need more information to help people with supernatural abilities. whether its some kind of "magical" ability or psychic ability. personally I have been having a lot of problems because I can't figure out what my "gift" is. Its not entirely Psychic but not really "magic" either. it changes from time to time. it would be nice if there could be more information on how one could #1. figure out what kind of ability they are most oriented to and #2. what to do once they figure that out!
some people are more oriented to certain elements and little I guess you could call sub-elements (like Shadow and stars and light and that sort of thing)
and some people are good with Psychic-ness. (srry I don't know what to call it)
people need to know what they can do so they now how to use it and control it..
People know what they can do when they understand what they can do.
There is no "how to" to understanding your particular "abilities," as everyone has the capability to do everything to some degree or another. When somebody tells you they have a how-to method they are usually selling you something... whether it is their book, their idea, or the myth of their own wisdom is what varies.
Some people tend to be more oriented towards such things than others, but there's not much else to it.
Wisdom is found in the journey. Explore more. I suggest starting with a traditional understanding of the elements. Look up Agrippa's work on them.
the only way i know is by trial and error or meditation. if you can't concentrate well enough to meditate, then just sit quietly and think about what you like. things will come to you with every method. i've never focused too much on my 'abilities' i just try everything, if i get bored of something i move on, if it interests me i keep at it.
I would suggest if you truly wish to identify your gifts, you should sit down in a relaxing place and start contemplating about certain moments in your life. They could be about any given moment in your lifetime that intrigues you, particularly the ones that seemed like coincidences or are unexplainable. Write down the incident, and perhaps emotions, thoughts etc. at that time.
Afterwards, research in depth about psychic gifts and how to cultivate them. And I agree, meditation helps tremendously in such cases.

i have been having problems with this too,where does all my energy focus? What makes it focus and why haven't i figured my affinity out yet.I have recently started meditating on this subject,but with exams going on,it tends to be slow.Im sure after its over i too will have an answer
I wanted to add something, about which many seem worried.
Finding what you are good at can be a very slow process, not only in magic but in life. So in order to do so you need to arm yourself with patiance and will power. The answer will come to you if you work and/or pray. Remember, there is also no shame in asking for help. If you are trully lost and have done everything in your power, then ask a fortuneteller, or your diety for help and guidance. These things can provide a light to give answers to your questions.
