The roots of Christianity come from paganism. It does not make a pagan ok in the eyes of a christian.
I would use prayer before an astral journey to ask god to protect me and my family. I would use majic to create a circle of protection around myself and i would use energy and meditation to enter the astral. The point is that we all have a gift of one kind or another. The very last thing i would ever want to do is start squibbleing and argueing about any of this among occultists. The christian religion (all religions) have already done a wonderful job of segregating, categorizeing, and KILLING anyone that has not followed there belief. In my opinion with the short time we have left i want nothing more than to see all occultists of all kinds co-exist and not worry where there ability came from but how they will use it to affect the world and make ourselves strong for the comeing of the new age. Abrahadabra my friends.
I agree.
There are many people to this day who have been blinded by religions such as this, practically "big cults". Its why we as occultists must also strive for a new world order, else their powers and effects will only sinew.
