psychic and horoscope fall into the above categories.Deuteronomy
Chapter 18:10-12
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. Anyone who does such things is an abomination to the LORD, and because of such abominations the LORD, your God, is driving these nations out of your way.
Let me just play the devil’s advocate here:It says in the Bible.
psychic and horoscope fall into the above categories.
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.
That settles what to eat and what not to eat. Also, the Gospel and salvation are spread to the Gentiles.Acts 10: 9- 15
About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.” “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.” The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
check the denzinger texts here is the link (its the only one on the web i could find)Could you please help me find information on not going to psychic? I tried to search on Catechism but I couldn’t come up with information related to using psychic and horoscope, etc …
I need to have this information to discuss with someone who thought it wasn’t a sin to get into this stuff.
Thanks!
That could be intervention of a guardian angel. Just like demons can put temptations in our heads, guardian angels can put helpful thoughts in our heads.Thanks for that explanation, Henning. Would that also be the same for mothers who have a forboding of something horrible happening to their children? I know that many mothers have this kind of connection or intuition regarding their children.
Not quite sure if you were responding to my question regarding the connection between mothers and their children… I’m not a mother, so I’ve not experienced this connection myself, but many mothers I know, even reading about women in history - from average to very faithful/holy - seem to have this from the time the child is in the mother’s womb to grown adults. I’ve never really thought about it until I came across this thread, but it’s very common to hear about a “mother’s intuition” and how they know when there is something wrong or right going on with their child.The things that you speak of as physic and such, they only MEMIC the true gifts of God. That is all the darkness of this world can do, is memic - and make it seem attractive in a sort of new package - which is still the old package full of lies.
If we are open to the Holy Spirit and his work in Christ Jesus, then the truth that we need to know will be revealed to us in all things.
I see. Sorry!Not quite sure if you were responding to my question regarding the connection between mothers and their children… I’m not a mother, so I’ve not experienced this connection myself, but many mothers I know, even reading about women in history - from average to very faithful/holy - seem to have this from the time the child is in the mother’s womb to grown adults.

I’m just wondering if this particular mother/child connection, which is essentially intuition and to a much lesser extent a form of psychic ability, is a gift from God or, as Beckymarie mentioned, a gift from God through the guardian angels. If not, does that mean many, if not most, mothers are experiencing evil and should ignore this connection?
Thought I’d give a couple examples with my own mom. When my older brother was a toddler, Mom had a feeling of dread and ran to check on him, only to catch him the moment he rolled off the bed.That could be intervention of a guardian angel. Just like demons can put temptations in our heads, guardian angels can put helpful thoughts in our heads.
