Peirce's notion of what psychic consists of is vast, beyond what the person on today's street would say when asked to flag psi. I think it is fair to say the answer might be the tarot reader down the street. And well it might be. But Peirce attempts to include roughly all we might wish to lump under memory, the past, what is already known.
What does psychic means to him? He might include the human faculty, even the subconscious. We shall see or infer as we go. One thing that we can perhaps say is the case is all that which is not what he considers science.
The linkage of history and memory counsels us to regard the acquisition of memories as an essential of free living even if all we do is absorb books and watch films. It may involve travel. It certainly evolves relationships of all sorts in whatever multiplicity they can be kept within.
Peirce is venerated for being a champion of inquiry. Just so. But his thought leads to the inference that another thing we cannot and should not seek to bar is relationship. This is the magic of unconditional love paired with affirmation. These two action prompts together enable relationship to all.
