[PetroniusMaximus]

*** I agree completely. Ouija boards are often the gateway to cases of demonic oppression and possession.****

I can personally confirm this.

In speaking with people involve in the occult as to what was their motivation for becoming involved I have often heard them refer to the use of Ouija boards or other seemingly "harmless" types of magic activities.



***The essence of moral evil is "my will be done."***

It also gives children a taste for "spiritual power". The avenue to satisfy that desire often does not present itself till early adulthood.

[little jeremiah]

Bears repeating:

***The essence of moral evil is "my will be done."***

It also gives children a taste for "spiritual power".

I have commented several times on these two threads that HP books entice children with the fantasy of having wonderful powers to control others with magic. Others including the natural world, and other people and animals. This is exactly the foundation of "black magic". People believing or not believing such powers existence doens't make any difference - the seed of the matter is the HP books strongly and seductively encourage the desire to be Lord, and to achieve any means to do it, including the glittery world of magic.

Control of others, not control of self, which is the real duty and objective of life.
