Huh, so you know way more about occultism than the average Harry Potter reader...
Automatic writing? There’s none of that in Harry Potter. Nor astral projection unless you think that when Harry can see through Voldemort’s eyes, that counts. Aura reading? None of that. And generational witchcraft in the occult circles - you mean you can’t be a wiccan unless your parents are? That means all the sad lonely early-twenties girls from semi-Christian families I know who went into Wicca weren’t really dabbling, excellent.
Here’s an interesting article that was on Townhall.com this morning:
I have to admit I missed a lot of what the author mentions ... I just read the story and don’t think about a lot of stuff :-).
I'm thinking he may mean Riddle's diary. Which, if you know the story, is not "automatic" writing.
