The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

Witchdoctors and witchcraft are examples
whereby ordinary herbs make potions to cast
spells that either curse or heal. Even if they are not
used for Wiccan curses, the mysticism attached is
what makes it occult.
In the 2002 document, "Jesus Christ the
Bearer of the Water of Life: A Christian reflection on
the “New Age.” Pontifical Council for Culture
Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue" has
this to say on the subject. “The essential matrix of
New Age thinking is to be found in the esoteric-
theosophical tradition, which was widely accepted
in European intellectual circles in the 18th and
19th centuries.
It was particularly strong in Freemasonry,
spiritualism, occultism, and theosophy, which
shared a kind of esoteric culture. In this world-
view, the visible and invisible universes are linked
by a series of correspondences, analogies, and
influences between microcosm and macrocosm,
between metals and planets, between planets and
the various parts of the human body, between the
visible cosmos and the invisible realms of reality. -
Nature is a living being, shot through with
networks of sympathy and antipathy, animated
by a light and a secret fire, which human beings
seek to control. People can contact the upper or
lower worlds by means of their imagination (an
organ of the soul or spirit), or by using mediators
(angels, spirits, devils) or rituals.”
