Folks,
I have a questioin that I cannot seem to find an answer for. Only lately at my school one of the staff members has introduced Angel Card readings for other individual members of staff. I am uncomfortable with this as it reminds me of the tarot readings although I know they are not tarot. Are they just a more impressive form of something occult?
She asked me what I thought and I did happen to state that in my humble opinion at its most base level it is occultism. At it highest level if it is to be something good it must lead beyong the Angels and the cards to God. She agreed. She said they brought her great comfort and brought great comfort to those she read them for. She now organises readings for individuals in her office which it is right beside my room.
Today I was talking to her and pointing out to her that the use of these cards or any cards is a symptom of her souls search for God. I reminded her of the beautiful words of St Augustine ‘You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you’ I tried to explain to her that we are made by God and we experience a deep sense of longing for Him which only he can satisfy—The Psalmist expressed this when he wrote ‘As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after you’.
I finished the little chat by pointing to the Church and telling her that until the heart realises the truth of the true presence of Christ on our Altars in the Eucharist it will remain restless and wander in searching. When the realisation dawns as it will the searching will cease and turn to a hunger.
Thing is folks, she now has suggested doing a reading for me, which I have politely refused. i have nothing to go on and need to know how we should take them. I can find nothing on the net about these Angel cards. Anyone wanna shine some light on these for me? Nothing in the Church’s document “Jesus Christ - The Bearer of the water of Life” written on the New Age mentions them. Are they ok?
