Occult items?

[fakename]

Basically how do I get rid of occult items and what makes occult items occult?

That is, how do certain items have demons and curses attached to them? I can’t really think of an answer.

Throw them out. God clearly tells us that we will only worship Him ---- we will make no other gods. After this explanation from God Himself, the other questions don’t matter because we are obeying Him. May I suggest that you read the Bible, and meditate on Our Lord’s words?

Items that have some demonic influence attached to them.

But some people burn theirs, etc.? What is appropriate? Another thing, do occult items spread their “occultness” to surrounding items/areas -do they spread that which makes such items occult?

Items by themselves are nothing but items so therefore, whatever occult nature they possess is due to attachment.

I understand you have some experience with this?

So occult items are occult by the attachment of what -obviously the devils but also do you mean the people who choose to use it as an item of the occult?

I had one experience (a doll, particularly). It was a ‘gift’ that an old housekeeper gave my sister after my family had to lay her off due to her bad hearing.

Certainly there are a number of ways in which an attachment like that can occur. Using an item in an occult ritual could certainly be one.

That is using an item in an occult ritual can cause devils to be attached to them? What about items that were never used in an occult ritual but were supposed to be?

The fact that such rituals already call forth demonic forces should give one enough cause to worry.

What about items that were never used in an occult ritual but were supposed to be?

They carry the same value as unconsecrated hosts: zero.

can intending to carry out an occult ritual be considered an occult ritual?

I think it can since occult means “intention to harness the power of demons in some way.” but perhaps my definition is mistaken?

Uh, no. Surely common sense would tell you that you actually have to do it.

I’m reading up the CCC and that is not how it defines such activity.

By the time you have made all your comments in this thread you could have already got rid of the items.
Just take them NOW and throw them in the trash can!! No discussions are needed.

Hear, hear!

“Occult” means 'hidden" or “secret”.

“Occult blood”, for example in bodily wastes, is blood that is not visible to the naked eye.

By extension, the word can also refer to secret knowledge, either Godly or evil in nature.

I’m 70 years old and don’t believe that I have ever encountered an item such as those to which the opening poster refers, unless it was some sort of harmless novelty item.

Oh , sorcery? I find them funny and I wish that I could do like Harry potter!

Hah, if only. I can spend hours daydreaming of living in a world like that myself.

Sadly, the only ‘sorcery’ in this world involves having a different religion and a hippie environmentalist world view.

I went through something like this. After you get rid of the item(s), you should tell a priest in confession, for good measure. It comes under the area of spiritual warfare.
A number one offender is the Ouija board. Also, tarot cards or stuff used for divination or witchcraft is out.
Destroy anything like that and tell a priest. Sprinkling holy water (anywhere and everywhere at home) and calling upon the angels is also a good idea, according to the priest who guided me through a similar situation. Then too, there’s the St. Michael prayer.
Can’t be too careful since we’re not out of the woods.
God bless you.

Some occult items are NOT to be burned. The best thing to do is to take them to your Priest for disposal.

Some music is also known to have demons attached to those songs.

When in doubt of what is or is not of the occult - stay away from it. Better safe than sorry.

CEM, my opinion, you are free to take it or leave it, is that you are putting too much stock in those items. You are thinking too much about them. Just throw them out, and pray to God, and ask Him in the name of His son to protect and guide you and your home from such things. Ultimately, you may want to do what someone suggested earlier, and that is to consult with a priest in order to put this matter to rest!

Heavenly Father, in the name of Your son Jesus Christ, I ask you to send your Holy Spirit to CEM, and help CEM put this situatuion to rest and in the past. Thank You Father for showing CEM Your Holy Light. Thank You Father for sending CEM and those like CEM Your Holy Spirit for blessings and guidance into Your Light. Amen.
