Astrology is exceedingly popular in the Western world today. One can hardly pick up a newspaper without finding an astrological chart somewhere in it. Many television programs and radio stations have regular astrological programs, where you can hear the latest predictions for your life.

Divination has been practiced from ancient times, it was one of the abominable practices of the Canaanites, condemned by God. It has been regularly practiced hroughout the ages in almost every culture. One of the oldest forms of divination is the use of a rod and pendulum. The second oldest form is astrology and then palmistry. Divination is widespread in Australia and the Western world in our day.

I was planning to write about a current event issue when this story hit my in-box. I am no longer shocked by issues like what I am about to report. Our kids and teens have been seduced for decades.

They might feel this rejection is spawned by a heresy hunting mentality that completely ignores the love and devotion to God that also accompanies the mystical life.

Television psychic hotlines and shows featuring psychics have become more popular. Psychics (sometimes called clairvoyants) will tell you that everyone has psychic ability which can be developed. Just who are these psychics to tell us what is normal? Shouldn’t we examine their practices, ideas, and claims, and see what God has to say about all this first?
