I have no idea. The only one I ever had as a kind was the ability to flawless call coin tosses. I was always right.
I once had a friend who came from a gifted family, but she just wanted to be normal, so she would suppress it, unless she had some thing to gain from it. Her theory was that she was manipulating electrons, starting with electrical impulses in her brain. kinda neat
I see all things as Gifts of Divine Mind. equally possible to any one, some are just more connected to that then others in different ways. My favorite quote supporting this actually comes from the Bible, Corinthians, Multitude of Gifts. I believe that is 1st Corinthian 12, or 13.
I suppose some may say its the gift of certain spirits, born under certain astrological signs, natural brain power, human evolution etc... I don't think any body really knows. They just are

1st Corinthian 12: 1- 11
You could continue through that, its still interesting. If you google that bit up above, it should give you many options for readings

like everything you do hey come from the all the same way that you do!

Astronomy explains that we know absolutely squat about anything, once you place us in perspective. There is a metaphor of the man who experiences the vision of picking up a grain of sand and realizing that he is the grain being picked up, by another man on a beach, ad infinitum. For some this leads to coldhearted existentialism, that we are all in fact just stardust.

Others say, "JUST" stardust? A star is amazing, creator of life, for without nothing that we understand as life exists, and their death throes create the heavy metals that their life could not. JUST star dust indeed.

So, I think unfortunately, like pretty much everything else. we will not know where magick *yes I am one of those bastards that uses a k* came from, but we can learn some of the places it has been, and where it's going next.

Oh yeah, Check out this book The New Psychocybernetics. It is marketed as a self development book, but if you read with an open mind you will realize it is a nonoccult method oh doing Chaos magick. At least that's what I think. A wonderfully inspiring parallel system developed by a plastic surgeon who studied the self image over fifty years ago.

I believe that we all naturally have these gifts, but through time and conditioning we have forgotten how to use them. We are spiritual beings in human form, not the other way around. Practice using your intuition, they will return

One night, my Son, you and I shall get drunk. I will seduce you into taking a plane to Afghanistan or Nepal, or some other place where it is possible to sit in the mountains and have a proper smoke.

In that time, I shall tell you of a stork and psychic powers. If at anytime, you should feel I am full of shit... You shall notify me in writing, and we shall investigate the incident. In the meantime, we will enjoy the mountains and meditate on the teachings of some obscure person or other, or nothing of the sort.

Then, yee shall know whereth thine wherethforth which psychicith powers cometh.
