The wiccans I’ve known have limited their “occultic practices” to lighting candles of various types. Should I avoid candles because of that?
And anyway a lot of your examples of “occultic practices” in Harry Potter have been completely wrong.

Not for SPIRITUALISTIC purposes.
If you'd read the books, you'd know that the people in the HP books don't use mirrors for SPIRITUALISTIC purposes. They use them like you'd use a telephone or a walkie-talkie. In fact, the one time Harry tried to use a mirror to contact Sirius after Sirius died, nothing happened. Harry couldn't talk to dead people with his mirror.
Please, continue showing your ignorance about the books you've never read.

“By the way, you never did answer my question. If JK Rowling had called them Jedis and said they used the Force, would you be complaining about the story?”
If it had also used other clearly occultic practices like HP does then yes, I would.

Using a mirror as a communication device or for seeing the future of past is suing it for spiritualistic purposes.
To: PetroniusMaximus
clearly occultic practices
You can repeat that as often as you like. It's kinda like "Bush lied." It's untrue, but folks still say it. And I have a feeling you know as much about "real occultic practices" as I know about 11th century Russian poetry.

Bless me Father for I have sinned. I used a cordless phone today.

Some of the oldest original writing in the Russian tradition portrays gay love. The 11th century "Legend of Boris and Gleb" tells of George the Hungarian, who was "loved by Boris beyond all reckoning."

Darn it! And I thought I had picked something so off topic...

I'd settle for a mirror that shows me with a full head of hair and washboard abs.Ah, but don't you remember that Dumbledore warned against the misuse of the Mirror of Erised!

In that case, it would show me 30 pounds lighter!

Perils of the internet age.
It was so much simpler when I used a mirror as my search engine.

See, I am behind the times. I just used my mirror to record TV shows. It was even a Betamax mirror!

I did something similar after reading Alice in Wonderland. I must have actually fallen through the mirror, 'cuz this sure doesn't look like my universe!

I was thinking, also, that although Voldemort kept saying that nobody could deceive him, nobody could beat him at anything ... that was just him saying it. It doesn’t make it true.
I think Lord Voldemort’s dramatic trajectory (so to speak) indicates that he wasn’t quite as hot stuff as he thought he was.

No actually I thought, and said, you had an unhealthy obsession, and then added the Thailand thing because that’s become a punchline on FR. Never said or insinuated you were a pedophile at all, that came out of YOUR head, and if your head is adding filthy personal insults that’s not my problem.

The scene in the graveyard in GOF shows Voldy loves to hear himself talk.
