That's correct. Diana was very much into the occult---psychics, astrologers, fortune tellers, and New Age practices such as crystals. She believed her grandmother watched over her as a ghost.
Sad.
I’m a Christian, and I am fascinated by the occult.
I don’t “dabble” in it, though. I read about it. “Know your enemey”, don’t you know?
Practice it? I would beafraid to even try, and I don’t want power, the purpose of dabbling in the occult to begin with. I just want to know what’s going on.
But from what I read, even by many occultists, it is not something to fool around with.
So says Andrew Morton. But I don't know how different "Countess Spencer held a very special place in Diana's heart and she sincerely believed that her grandmother looked after her in the spirit world" is from orthodox Christian beliefs about loved ones looking down on someone from heaven. We don't know where Diana's belief ends and Morton's interpretation begins. Also he doesn't "time stamp" his claim so it's hard to tell if this was Diana's adult belief or something she held onto as a child.
