Is Occult Practice, Magick, and Divination Evil?

December 15, 2015

Last time, Bishop Bryan discussed the Levitical prohibition against tattoos and offered a stern warning to those who chose to have one. In this episode, Bishop Bryan elaborates further on Leviticus 19:26-31"26‘You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor practice divination or soothsaying. 27‘You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard. 28‘You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD. 29‘Do not profane your daughter by making her a harlot, so that the land will not fall to harlotry and the land become full of lewdness. 30‘You shall keep My sabbaths and revere My sanctuary; I am the LORD. 31‘Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God."Is divination evil? What was meant by "defilement" when it pertains to seeking the assistance of a medium or spiritist? If tattoos are so dangerous, wouldn't tarot cards be just as harmful?
