Another Halloween, another round of questions about its origins and whether or not we should let our children participate.

For the third time this year, the planet Mercury has gone into retrograde and once again, the internet astrologers are trying to outdo one another with dire warnings about how this cosmological event can wreak havoc on planet Earth. Too bad it’s nothing but hype to sell natal charts and good luck charms.
JH writes: "This site is so informative but alarming. I had no idea so much we see today is occult. I love Southwestern style including Indian jewelry. Is Indian jewelry occult? I like the workmanship and colors but do not know if there is a meaning behind designs. Thank you for considering my question."
A few weeks ago someone called into our radio show to ask if a book entitled Jesus Calling, written by Sarah Young is okay for a Catholic to read.
MBB asks: "I used to go to an astrologer who made a big deal out of something she called a 'natal chart.' What exactly is this, and what can it tell me about myself (if anything)?"
BK asks: "Strange occurrences have been happening in my home for some time now - objects moving around and sometimes falling off shelves for no reason. I'm beginning to suspect poltergeist activity and am wondering what this is, and if it's possible for a dead relative to be responsible for it?"
SH writes: "I really enjoy wind chimes. I had some friends of my sister who are Christian (non-Catholic) visit me and they told me I should get rid of them because they are used by witches and occults to draw in bad spirits. I would like to know if that is so."

Even though the Church condemns mediumship, she believes that because she was healed, that it must be of God because Satan cannot heal. I haven't had any luck researching this on my own, but can Satan provide healing as part of his deception?"
