“Ceremonial magic is classified as occult”
“The occult is considered anti-biblical because it is viewed as a rebellion against the creators sovereignty, attempting to gain hidden knowledge or power through means explicitly forbidden in the Torah. Torah texts, such as Deuteronomy 18:10-12 and Leviticus 20:27, categorize practices like divination, sorcery, and spiritism as abominations or detestable acts that open individuals to demonic influence and deception”
(Which is true)
Key reasons for this condemnation
Bypassing God’s Authority: Occult practices are seen as an attempt to circumvent God’s revealed will and manifested will. seeking control over the future or spiritual realms independently of God.
Spiritual Deception: Scripture warns that these practices are often fraudulent illusions or manifestations of demonic powers, leading believers away from the true God toward spiritual destruction
Ok so tread carefully when you talk about “intention” these are occult concepts.
