Have you ever tried Ouji board or any other form of spiritism? do you like the occult sciences ? tell us all about it!

Sorry to say but i consider occult sciences loads of crap. They have absolutely no real scientific basis and it depends on your interpretation mostly. I have tried tarot cards in the past with two different decks , but it solely depends on your own personal interpretation... I try to consider myself a good christian and i think that adds to my disbelief in the occult...

I don't really believe it works but I find it rather interesting anyway
I have never used an ouji board and while I think i have some tarot cards somewhere I never did anything with them either... But just the idea of it sound funny...
But I think tarbosaurus_geticus already struck a good point by saying "it depends on your interpretation mostly"... I think a lot of answers you might get are not messages from dead etc but just means to either get informations from your subconscious or just get answers you know but did not want to admit...

If you are asking if I belive supernatural things happen, sure. There are really too many things in this world that don't well with a naturalist explaination. I also believe that occult things can by extension, have supernatual power (whether they do or not is a totally different question). Either way I stay away from that stuff: it it is all chimeras then I'm wasting time, and if it's not, well, "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger".

Which are those things to be more precise???

That's just..mambo-jambo.. Aren't you a christian ? Why do you need spiritism for ? Mind your own religion.. And as.. tarbosaurus_geticus said..It's all filled with crap.. in my opinion.

Hm, that poses the question: If you believe in your religion strong enough, isn't that just sprituality with a different name?
I mean, if you believe in angels giving guidance or a paradise, what would be so different then believing in tarot cards giving guidance, etc...

But I guess that all this is difficult to judge as we have not understood everything about everything yet so a lot of unexplainable phenomena might be explainable phenomena and we are just not advanced enough to understand... a bit like Clarke's third law

It's a big difference, the christian religion is based on the real life err.. person of Jesus Hrist (that's the name we use, and heard it's the true one though im not commenting different opinions). He did acctually exist, and religion is more of a way of life than a belief in a ,quoting, "mambo-jambo".
Strange thing, three romanians have posted on this thread, if i were supperstitous i would take that as a sign. Wow an old good aquiantance silentguy posted too, it has to be a sign!!!!!

i believ that religion is your personal belief and response to your faith in something supreme and everything that comes along with it like customs/tradition/history and just liek anything personal,it needs to be respected.


i like to try out wicca or something like nature worship of the sorts, like the ancient people who worship nature before they introduced in gods to represent certain aspects of nature.
