Hey Rita, I meant to answer this when I read it but then completely forgot. Ouji, tarot, reiki etc are definitely tools and I think can do a ton of harm to people but I think that, at least from experience, that people who use them are already in trouble when they begin to. I think that sometimes people tend to prescribe a lot of power to them but the worst possible weapons that evil can use against us are our pride and curiosity. God made us to be absolutely incredible and unique. We live in a material world that we can absolutely dominate and this becomes abundantly clear the moment we come into the age of reason. This is why we need religion and this is why we must always commune with God. If even the angels, more powerful than anything we can comprehend and so unique that each are a species unto themselves, all the more of a need for us frail creatures to remember that. Yet in our world today, children are taught to abandon God, feed your pride and pursue your curiosity at all costs. This is truly the biggest problem. I was tortured in my childhood by both preternatural manifestation and by psychological oppression that isolated me and fed my worst instincts. By the time I had a tarot card reading done or took my first yoga class, I already had a mind that neglected God. This, I believe, made the doors opened by these false practices all the stronger because I welcomed them rather openly. In doing so, my life got worse and worse. Like you, I have many books and such about exorcism but even regarding this I always temper my curiosity because these are things I shouldn’t trifle with. I don’t need to know basically. This I believe is also why the pre Vatican II church didn’t publish much about the exorcism rite and downplayed it. Not necessarily because they believe in these things less but because they didn’t want people to lose themselves in it and become blinded. I think this can also be seen very early on in the church when the early church fathers stamped down a bit on angeleogy. They didn’t want people worshipping the deeds of angels and forgetting their power came from God. The obverse is seen today in Protestant faiths and their preoccupation with prophecy. With the Vatican II church’s preoccupation with miracles. Especially with Medjugorje. (I can never spell that correctly) We are definitely supposed to take heart from and be awed by these things but as Catholics we should be drawn to suffering, charity and penance. But that’s just how I feel. I could just be fatigued from all I have already seen and witnessed. p.s. Didn’t mean to imply anything about you btw i just meant this as a general warning for others to read. I know most here are probably fine but if there’s one thing I can speak on, it’s probably this subject due to my experiences. Also, I’m glad the person you knew was able to find his way out of that stuff. What you say is true. It is good to be cautious about an over-interest in such things and from what I have seen most of those who use Tara cards and such things definitely already have certain issues first. And they have no power over us of themselves but only what God and we ourselves allow. Thanks for talking to me Rita, and the rest of you of course. It’s very rare that I get to have conversations like this!
