I’ve been struggling with this for years. I was once heavily into the occult and I still am despite calling myself a Christian. I’ve tried everything from praying the rosary to the Jesus prayer going to church reading the Bible everyday and nothing seems to pull me away from the grip of the occult. I’m scared and I don’t know what to do! Please help. God bless.

When I’ve felt trapped like that-at the end of my rope in some sort of addiction/enslavement that I could no longer be free of- I’ve prayed, pleaded, called out, and have been surprised-by both the prayer and answer, the ability to overcome. I don’t know if you’ve gotten to that point yet but be open to it if you will- because those moments, of sincerity, are exactly when God can get to us.
 
By not being able to get away from the grip of the occult, do you mean that you are experiencing problems with the Demonic?
 
I think I do. When I pray or devote time to God I feel this presence pulling me away. I don’t know how else to explain it. I’m on medication haha

I used to be into the occult, and have gone back and forth. I burned my astrology books and tried my best to destroy all the charts I had made. I couldn’t undo a lot of the damage but did my best to try. I went to confession.

What helps me is the daily rosary and daily mass. If I don’t go to mass daily, I find I fall back in the same sins.

I’d recommend if you have things of the occult, to destroy them…any books, etc. Get some holy water and sprinkle it on yourself and all around. Pray a prayer of deliverance.
You can pray the prayer of St. Michael and get a St. Benedict medal and a Miraculous medal and pray the prayers for each. Wear the Miraculous Medal and bring the St. Benedict medal, say on your keychain with you. Wear a scapular underneath your clothing.

Does your house have crucifixes? My mother had one in every room except the bathroom, and so do I.

Surround yourself with good movies, music and books.

How about your friends? Do you have any friends who are pulling you to the occult? You might need to find a new circle of friends who support you in your faith.

Instead of visiting occult shops, visit Catholic stores. Change your habits. Substitute a good habit for each bad one.

You can also speak to your priest about it.

Praying for you.
 
This is a very serious thing. Get out the big guns.
Daily Mass. Weekly confession. Make an appointment with a priest and get a spiritual advisor.
Get rid of anything, cast off any friends, who promote the occult.Make a daily resolution not to involve yourself in it, and do an examen at the end of the day.
Say the powerful exorcism prayer to St. Michael the Archangel!

God will soon see you sincere intention and help you. And he will give you many blessings on top of it. Hang in there!

What is it about “the occult” that attracts you?
What is it about Christianity that does not “work” for you.
 
Speak to your priest, or another priest who has much knowledge about what you shared. Don’t give up!

I will say some prayers for you.

Peace,

Remember that the love of Jesus is stronger than the love of anything else. Do your best, as you can, to be a good Christian. God understands your struggle and He is on your side because He loves you!!!

He loves you so much!!! The devil does not, and he would rather see you in Hell which is endless suffering. Do you hear me? You will bleed and panic and burn in the heat and cold, to unbearable levels. Keep trying to follow God, and you will find something good!

Message me if you have trouble! I’m praying for you!
 
Please speak with a Priest ASAP. Praying for your intentions.
THIS , and Confession as frequently as needed, even daily. Confession gives us Graces to cut out our attachment to sin.
 
By not being able to get away from the grip of the occult, do you mean that you are experiencing problems with the Demonic?
No it doesn’t mean that at all.

At this point it’s like an habitual addiction to porn, etc

The presence you feel withdrawing during devotions and prayer is not God.
 
Get yourself a St. Benedict Medal. Learn the Exorcism of St. Benedict and use it. Invoke St Michael:

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, oh prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Be ALWAYS damp with holy water.
 
I agreeing with those who recommend seeing a solid priest ASAP. What is pulling you away from God needs to be attacked with everything in the arsenal. Prayers for you!
 
I appreciate all your replies. I will speak with a Priest and I can feel your prayers working. Please pray they are helping me so much
