Occult Practitioners

The modern meaning of “ the occult” is often wrongly translated and used as a term for ‘secret knowledge’ or ‘hidden knowledge’, meaning knowledge meant only for certain people’ or ‘knowledge that must be kept hidden’.

For most practicing occultists, however, it is simply the study of a deeper spiritual reality that cannot be understood using pure reason or material science. In general though, the term is used in reference to “evil” spiritual practices, such as devil worship, child sacrifice, or the casting of curses, or at best it is defined by things considered to be superstitious, such as séances, Ouija boards, or astrology.

Superstition is not based on reason. Many superstitions can be prompted by misunderstandings of statistics. Others spring from unenlightened fears, which may be expressed in religious beliefs or practice, or to belief in extraordinary events, supernatural interventions, apparitions or in the effectiveness of charms, incantations, the meaningfulness of omens and predictions.

A Séance on its most basic level is an attempt to communicate with the dead. The séance is led by a person known as a medium who will usually go into a trance and allow the dead to communicate through him or her. More recently, this has been known as channeling.

Ouija boards are viewed by some as a positive spiritual device or just a simple toy. There are people who believe that they can be harmful including the famous medium Edgar Cayce who called them, “dangerous.”

Critics warn that evil demons pretend to be cooperative ghosts in order to trick players into becoming spiritually possessed.

Astrology is a system of knowledge that human nature can be understood in terms of the heavens. It relies upon precise measurement and a body of symbolism which has come to be associated with each of the signs of the zodiac and the planets including the Sun and Moon.
