Happy Easter! Know that you are all in my prayers, always.
I hope you have been able to improve your spiritual journey and grow closer to Christ in your real life and, for writers, in your writing. Jesus Christ died for all sins from the beginning of time to the end (Jesus is fully God and fully man, the son of God given flesh in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To know the Son is to know the Father, and God is outside time and space, the reason he doesn't change by our perception. Therefore, Jesus felt then our sins of this time and for the rest of our lives too!). We owe him our sacrifices to ease His suffering in His passion then (as we perceive time) for all of our past, present, and future sins.
This brings me to my main topic of this post. Because modern fantasy fiction has desensitized our society to evil by twisting evil into something to consider to be used for good, I thought I'd share a series of videos about a topic that Satan uses to steal souls from sanctification. It's easy to say that dark magic or demons are clearly evil, but what about "light", "white", or "good" magic? Still a sin and comes from Satan.
Like the mortal sin of lust inspired by graphic sex scenes, magic/divination/occultism is another way that authors must beware that what they write risks their souls and the souls of readers by scandal (a mortal sin of causing others to sin) in that they lead people away from the one true living God's immutable laws. Fantasy is not sinful, but it can be if you promote any occult practices not only as bad but, worse, as good (spirit mediums, "good" or "white" magic and any other magic, new age, other occult, yoga, etc.). Even something as seemingly innocuous as a "love potion" is a sin and, according to exorcists, brings demons into one's life. All divinations and "magic" come from Satan tricking people into not trusting in God and to being disobedient to God. (The inspiration and desire to write/read/watch graphic sex scenes and the fascination with magic both come from demons.)
Below is a series of videos to help you understand the risks and how to come back to the true Light of God, not the false light of Satan, who can appear as an angel of light and distort the truth to trick you. (Before you think I'm being a prude, I used to be caught up in entertainment of this kind without knowing any better, nor caring, until my awakening and reconversion of faith.)
(Fr. Ripperger homily - he is an exorcist who has become famous for his lectures)
(In pulling up all these, I was also shown videos by proclaimed witches that proved to me how much Satan hates all that is holy. Any videos of witches decrying the Catholic church are from the father of lies, because Satan doesn't want souls saved from his grasp. The Catholic church is the ONLY authority on earth with the power to cast out demons, because it has the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus, who founded His church on Peter, the first pope, and that church became the Catholic church (katholikos).
Demons don't want us to rely on saints either, especially the Blessed Virgin Mary. She was never stained by sin, because God granted her the grace of being saved prior to conception based on what he had planned for her being the vessel of the living Word (God is outside time and space and has full power over His creation), and the demons could never make her fall in the least way. Satan despises her and wants others to hate her (the woman whose offspring will crush his head while he strikes at [the offspring's aka Jesus's] heel) and all the saints (those who are alive as souls in heaven). Praying to known saints in heaven (confirmed through a strict process of the church) is not necromancy. Rather, it is an act of loving God, who is in their presence in heaven, where true love abounds in the desire for the greater good of all (love for one's neighbor is not a feeling as defined in modern culture but an act of the will).
Any occultists that say that praying to saints is demonic are proving that saints are a threat to Satan's power, because occultists serve Satan, whether they believe it or not. The father of lies doesn't want you to lean on the saints as intercessors. Exorcists use relics from saints that are effective against demons, often particular saints, people who in their earthly lives aligned their wills so perfectly with God's that temptations ceased having power over them, despite all the attempts by certain demons.)
