If I may ask a question for you and the rest of the commentariat who care to comment...
How do Christian occultists treat the prohibition in Deuteronomy against divination, witchcraft, magic and the like? Is it a matter of the prohibition no longer having any relevance with the coming of Jesus? Or is it a matter of whether magic is being using for “non-selfish reasons”?
(I’m aware that you’re not a Christian occultist, but if my memory is correct, you have mentioned that you have friends who are. Additionally, I believe you made reference to early (Middle Ages?) Christians often using magic, but I’ve never come across an (adequate?) explanation for how they reconciled their practices with the written prohibition)
