One of my spiritual directees said that she has not been feeling well. She had a well-intentioned Christian friend who gave her some crystals. Since then she has been feeling particularly ill.

She told me about the crystals and I told her to bring them to me. I then blessed and disposed of them. She instantly starting to feel better. The crystals were making her sick.

So many people think of themselves as doing good but are involved in occult practices that actually invoke evil powers. Good witches? Healing crystals? White magic? If it doesn’t directly involve God, then the only other option is Satan’s power and that is not good… regardless of one’s intentions.
