Someone recently wrote to us asking if it's okay to use a regular deck of cards to tell futures. This person has friends who are described as being "very devoted Catholics" who attend Mass and pray the rosary every day. They have strong faith, but love to read cards and are surprisingly accurate. Is this wrong?

MR writes: "I read that the founder, Hahnemann, received a lot of his information during seances, which he readily admitted. I think that this is proof of homeopathy having its origin in the occult. What do you think?"
KH writes: "I have a friend who is a non church-going Lutheran. Her kids that are living at home, are ages 18, 20, 21. Over the past few years they had talked of seeing shadows, noises etc. My friend and I just thought it was their imagination. But recently in the past year, her boys have said a door that is hard to close in basement has slammed several times, the 21 year old boy has heard voices, and was afraid of schizophrenia. . . .
Instead of learning how to overcome the inevitable hurts and sorrows of life in a healthy way, women are being encouraged to indulge their inner rage by attending screaming ceremonies where they beat the ground with sticks and shriek at the top of their lungs.

TB writes: "A woman I encountered as of late claims that Core Synchronization therapy is an acceptable form of energy medicine. I beg to differ since the word energy is in it. What can you tell me about this practice? Is it like Reiki? Also can you tell me the dangers to a person's soul who practices Reiki or any kind of energy medicine? For some reason this makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck."
