I am concerned because this is so open at work that its almost frustrating.
I am a hairstylist and the salon that I currently work at is going to have a day of readings for the girls I work with. This woman is a famous psychic, channeller, and spirit guide. She came out in American Idol and the girls have to pay her $150 for an hour session. This will take place for one whole day.
Now I am not going to be involved in any way but I was wondering if this will have lingering effects on the salon?
I was going to quit at the end of Summer but I am now thinking maybe sooner like mid June. I am about 4 months pregnant right now so that is the reason for my quitting. But now with this I feel like I am being called to quit earlier. Any comments would be helpful. I am going to start a novena of the divine mercy chaplet for the girls at work too.
 
For my two cents’ worth, you’re right in praying for the others who will be involved. “Psychic” stuff can be diabolical, but chances are 99.9999% it’s just some huckster who has the ability to prey on the gullible. I think the decision to quit ought to be based on your and your family’s need for money, and on it alone. After all, you don’t throw your TV in the trash just because, if you wanted, you could turn to some obscene show, and you don’t get rid of your car just because it could be used to go to visit a medium.

Unless there is something unusually ominous about this, that’s the way I would be seeing it.

I applaud for your decision of quitting earlier. It is a wise and necessary decision especially your are with the baby.

Psychic reading is evil. Refer to Bible and Catholicism you will know all things in such a nature are prohibited by our faith, they are evil in God’s eyes. To bring such a person to your work place will definitely have consequences. This is opening the door to invite the evil spirit into the work place. Your praying for the co-workers is good. Pray also for yourself and your baby to claim the coverage of the mighty and precious blood of Jesus. The spiritual realm is real. You need to protect yourself, especially your baby.
You don’t want to surround your baby in the evil atmosphere.
 
Your right Ridge I am not quitting because I am running away and cant handle what others are doing at all but on the other hand I have been discerning this for quite some time along with my Husband and we both decided that I need to stay home now. I just have too much going on at home and i always have to leave because i have to go to work. It just seems like the time is right, now.
It just does not help that this is what is going on at work I personally feel also that this can and is diabolical. Even if she is a huckster. And that is opening up doors for things that I am not not comfortable with. I would have been ok with this lets say 3 years ago when I could care less about my spirituality, my faith. Now I know better, and have worked and prayed alot to get where I am now. But for some reason it is always challenging at work.There is no repect for Christianity.Only everything else.

Thank you for that I know you are spot on.
 
Quiet Time, Some Things are worth quitting over. I had a very good job with a doctor office. Shortly thereafter, I realized he did abortions (but the files referred to them as miscarriages). When I questioned the Office Manager about the “miscarriages”, she readily admitted they were abortions. At that point, I felt I must ask him personally and inform him of my decision to quit.

It was a Good decision, he was very understanding saying his wife had divorced him over the matter. I quit and left my future in God’s hands. Two weeks later, I was working for a new doctor with an increase in pay.

Never underestimate God’s faithfulness in a virtuous response.

PRAY for protection…for you and your unborn child. Psychic’s, whether or not you believe in them, are dealing in the dark occults. There are evil spirits surrounding these psychic sessions and people.
A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION
O My God, I adore Thee and I love Thee with all my heart. I thank Thee for having created me, for having made me a Catholic and for having watched over me this day. Pardon me for the evil I have done this day; and if I have done any good, deign to accept it. Watch over me while I take my rest and deliver me from danger. May Thy grace be always with me. Amen.
 
Ridgeruner is so right about the reader probably being a fake. But pray & trust in St. Benedict.:gopray2:

I am so sorry that you must be exposed to this. I’d even call it abuse 😦
 
if your employer forces people to participate in this event, and to pay money to do so, she is probably in violation of some local law, so it would pay you to inquire. If you are working with people stupid enough to buy into this garbage to the tune of $150 a crack, I would start looking for another job, because somebody that dumb won’t stay in business for long, IMO.

I would also get some Blessed Salt and unobtrusively sprinkle it around before she comes to the salon.
 
I suggest you place a blessed Miraculous Medal in some inconspicuous place and say the Prayer and the Memorare daily for your colleagues.

A friend had a New Age shop open near his, with crystals, spells etc for sale. He put a medal in the shop somewhere and they didn’t stay open very long.

Another friend did the same in a shop she was wanting to buy. There were difficulties and she was getting frustrated. I gave her the medal and she placed in high on a shelf. Suddenly, within a couple of weeks, all the problems vanished and the business was hers.
 
If you are close enough to any of your co-workers to dissuade them from participating, I think it would be an act of charity (fraternal correction) to do so, kindly but firmly. The following reasoning is from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

2115 God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.

2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to “unveil” the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.

2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one’s service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another’s credulity.

Even if they are not Catholic, anyone who calls herself a Christian should see the truth in the following words from Scripture (and if they are Jewish, at least the first four Old Testament references):

“I, the LORD, am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. You shall not have other gods besides me.” (Exodus 20:2–3)

“Do not go to mediums or consult fortune-tellers, for you will be defiled by them. I, the LORD, am your God.” (Leviticus 19:31)

Let there not be found among you anyone who immolates his son or daughter in the fire, nor a fortune-teller, soothsayer, charmer, diviner, or caster of spells, nor one who consults ghosts and spirits or seeks oracles from the dead. (Deuteronomy 18:10–11)

Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let yourselves be deceived by the prophets and diviners who are among you; do not listen to those among you who dream dreams. For they prophesy lies to you in my name; I did not send them, says the LORD. (Jeremiah 29:8)

For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths. But you, be self-possessed in all circumstances; put up with hardship; perform the work of an evangelist; fulfill your ministry. (2 Timothy 4:3–5)

See to it that no one captivate you with an empty, seductive philosophy according to human tradition, according to the elemental powers [RSV translation: cosmic powers] of the world and not according to Christ. For in him dwells the whole fullness of the deity bodily, and you share in this fullness in him, who is the head of every principality and power. (Colossians 2:8–10)

If circumstances force you to continue working up to the date in question, I would recommend avoiding working on that day, and arming yourself with holy water on your return. Discreetely sprinkle it around your work place.
 
Thank you all for the help you provided. And thank you PhilotheaZ for providing all that great info I was getting ready to start a deep search in the catechism and the bible but you did it for me. So Thank you.:tiphat: You pointed out all the verses I needed.
I am glad this forum exist, I am happy that it provides support when we need it.

It opens the door for satan. Ask if you could have a Catholic priest come and bless the shop and the employees the week after!

I thought about that for like a second but honestly they would be put of by that even if I mentioned it. We have had religious disscussion before and they never turn out to good because they are so foot loose and fancy free if you catch my drift they think that religion is a bunch of you know what. Unless I can get a priest to go in incognito :cool: but I have a hard time just finding a good priest. So anyways my point is this I think I will just pray from a distance.
 
What’s to stop you from bringing in a small amount of holy water and sprinkling it about and saying the prayer to St. Michael while no one else is watching?

Your colleagues are under the impression that a charitable priest’s prayer would do no good and that religion is a crock of BS, but they are about to pay $150 for a psychic reading? Forget spiritual guidance, I suggest refering them to a good doctor for a mental health checkup.
 
Seriously my thought exactly!!
They love anything new age and occultish, go figure. Thats why I think it is time for me to move on from that place. When I first started a couple of years ago it wasnt that bad but their is a certain massage therapist that is very into new age and she gets the girls to try her techniques and they love her. So anyways this is definetly not the smartest thing that I have seen them get into. I am sure they just feel spiritually lost and they think this will provide what they think they need. They do not see the danger in this at all because they are unable to discern.
 
I do not like the devil, and if I see him coming, I go the other way.
Lingering effects… hmm… well…
I think the devil’s been just about everywhere already, including
the church! I still go to church.
I wouldn’t want to listen to a word of talk about it after that so I
might quit, unless I was ready with the power of God to
evangelize.
