JA writes: "I've been thinking about becoming a licensed massage therapist. The only problem is that I know that part of the curriculum in many massage schools consists of learning about the new-age techniques and putting them into practice. . . .
SN asks: I ordered some green scapulars from the Apostolate of the Green Scapular . . . I received 14 blessed scapulars that were blessed by a priest . . . You write the name of the person on the scapular that you want to receive the blessings/conversions and place the scapular in their vicinity either knowing or unknowingly. Every day you recite their name and Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us now and at the hour of death. They say the scapular is as only as powerful as the user believes it will work. Is this approved by the Catholic Church?"
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?"

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?”

The same Parish wants us to look at their NeoCatechumenal Way. I am finding mixed info, both good and bad...Any input would be appreciated."
