CB asks: "Isn't it true that most mental illnesses are caused by Satan or as a result of occult activities?"
We recently heard from a woman who went for testing at a local hospital for heart issues. While there, she told the technician about having recently lost her beloved dog. The tech responded by saying that this dog was her “familiar”, meaning a spirit being that was attached to her soul. Is there any such thing as a familiar spirit and, if so, what is it?
BB writes: “I sometimes watch shows about hauntings and I always wondered about the equipment ghostbusters use to detect the presence of spirits. What is this stuff, and does it really work?”
I couldn't resist writing this blog in response to information I received about a book that supposedly contains words of wisdom from the Archangel St. Michael that were received via automatic writing.
One of our readers was kind enough to send us an e-mail she received which offered her an opportunity to invite three "angels" into her life for five days. Believe it or not, people are actually falling for this and going through all the prescribed rituals to allow these unnamed spirits into their lives! Here's why that's not a good idea.
SM writes: "Many years ago before I knew what Reiki is about I bought a CD of "new age" relaxation music. I bought it on the strength of the sample one could listen to in the store, but the CD was marketed as being good for background music during Reiki massage. It was clearly created with the intention of being used during Reiki, given the packaging and liner notes. Do you recommend that I get rid of it?"
MH asks: "I did a search on google for the record labels owned by Wiccans to promote Satanism. I came across this website that gives some examples of backmasking. It has backward lyrics of songs with satanic messages. I was wondering if this is true or if someone just made it up. I do not know how play a record backwards myself and do not know the website as a trustworthy source. Do you know if these backward lyrics are accurate or a trustworthy source to look to?"
Davos Congress Center in Davos, Switzerland (WEF - CC BY SA 4.0 DEED)Last week’s meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos created quite a controversy around the world when an Amazonian Chieftess was permitted to lead participants in a shamanic ritual, which prompted some to ask, “What spirit governs Davos?”
MH asks: “Can you explain the meaning behind the seemingly increased occurrences of seeing the numbers 11:11 or 1:11. People say they just happen to look at a clock when it shows 11:11. People in the New Age Movement say this is not coincidental, that it's the "lightworker activation code". Do you think it's merely coincidental that people seem to be drawn to that number or is there something else behind it?”
During a popular video podcast in Peru, self-proclaimed visionary Erica Serrano told listeners in this predominantly Catholic country to use a consecrated host in a purification ritual and to ward off “toxic people.”
