i need advice
i need to know if going to see a psychic is against god’s will.
this is a very serious question for me, i saw a psychic five years ago and she wanted to help me, i accepted the offer.
i never in a million years would have accepted her offer if she did not mention jesus’s name. she worshiped him. she said that anything she can do for me is what god already wanted to happen for me.
whatever she said would happen to me did not. this has put me in a very depressing situation. i have to pick myself up from bed every morning. there is a cloud over my head day and night for years now.
im very confused now because she disappeared on me and i feel betrayed.
i havent talked to her in a year now. i have been living with this guilt like i did something wrong by even going to her. i pray to god every day for some understanding.
what are your thoughts about this?
this is very hard for me, i havent told a single soul of this. untill now. have i sinned? i trusted her,
this is the reason why i started doing novenas just for understanding and peace.
 
Go to confession. I think it is grave sin to be involved in occult practices such as séances, palm reading, tarot cards, astrology, sorcery and such things, it seems to me that would include psychics.
 
i had no idea at that time
but she said that she does everything to god’s will. whatever that was meant to happen will happen, and she wanted to help.

What was the nature of her “help”? Did it involve financial gain on her part (i.e., did you pay her for her services)?

If you didn’t know at the time that it was a sin to consult a psychic, it’s a venial sin and not a mortal sin. Regardless, a trip to confession might help you.

You would have had to know it was a mortal sin at the time. But still I’d go to confession anyway; especially since you are having such feelings about what you did. For the most part pyschics are fakes. And the ones that do get information from the supernatual are NOT getting it from God; but from the evil one.

It is never OK to listen or use a psychic whether they profess they are doing it in God’s name or not.

It is VERY common for psychics, tarot card readers, etc. to bring up God/Jesus and and use God as a tool to get people to trust them.

In reality, they are likely deceived themselves.

Satan can’t bring people in or away from the Church, by letting us know who is truly behind his work and plan. Instead, he sends others, using the name of God or Jesus, to deceive.

The Bible clearly warns us of such people.

I would go to Confession and perhaps seek a Catholic spiritual director who can help to direct you in ways that are pleasing to God and good for your soul.

We are not meant to know our future, but are to rely on God daily. He says He is a lamp unto our feet… A lamp unto our feet only lights up the next step and we must trust in God for our future.

Trusting in people who claim to give us a glimpse of the future, only leads to disillusionment, fear and disappointment, as you are now experiencing. But trusting in God for the next step, one day at a time, will bring you peace.

May the peace of God be with you.

Don’t you think confession will help you? Whether you didn’t know it was a mortal sin, or that you were young doesn’t mean that you don’t need to go to confession about it. We still should confess venial sins. Please it will help you put this behind you so’s you can move on.*

I think you misunderstood me.

What I was asking is if SHE charged YOU for her help.

It’s nice that she helped you with bills, but how else did she “help” you? Advice about your future?

Don’t feel guilty – like you said, you were young and you didn’t know. Go to confession, get it off your chest, and go in the peace of God. 👍
