New Age To Catholic

In this episode I talk about the concept of a Catholic "Rule of Life" and how that concept is directly opposed by the teachings of occultists like Aleister Crowley and Gerald Gardener.  Topics covered include what a Rule of Life is, how have a rule can help us withstand the many influences of popular culture. For more on this and related topics please check out my blog at OfLightAndDark.com To hear Fr. Ripperger's teaching on developing a Rule of Life please check out this video. #occultism #catholicism #spirituality

In this episode I talk about the book The Anti-Mary Exposed by Carrie Gress and the topic of toxic femininity in my own experience. This book does a great job of presenting the dark history of feminism, the impact toxic femininity has had on our culture and the many issues with goddess worship. And I agree with all of it!

Crystals are hugely popular in New Age and occult circles. But while "working with" crystals may seem harmless or even silly, the truth is that crystals have real occult applications. In this video, I talk about the dark side of crystals and why I believe they are dangerous based on my own personal experience. Please note: I don't feel I explained this as well as I should have but promise to go into more detail in the ebook and possibly on the blog as well.

In this episode I talk about how Catholicism is portrayed on two popular TV I have watched and how this helped convince me that Catholics should be involved in the entertainment industry. I also talk about how Catholic exorcist Monsignor Stephen Rossetti's recent deliverance prayer webinar helped me gain clarity.  For more about Monsignor Rossetti's work, blog and webinars please visit https://www.catholicexorcism.org/home Visit my blog at OfLightAndDark.com Check out my website at BarbaraGraver.com Visit my Etsy shop at CatholicBookAndCard.com #deliveranceprayer #catholicexorcist #catholicmedia

Is holistic wellness compatible with the Catholic Faith? Or is it just another type of new age deception? In this video I share my perspective as a Catholic nurse and ex-new ager. PLEASE NOTE: I sometimes get a little rattled when I do videos (especially when my pup is barking at me through the door) and make mistakes. In this one I said hypotension instead of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) TWICE. I also said "most" toxic medicine is based on herbs which is wrong, wrong, wrong. I meant to say "some" - which I suspect most people already know. Hopefully I will get better with this in time!!  Visit my blog at OfLightAndDark.com Check out my website at BarbaraGraver.com Visit my Etsy shop at CatholicBookAndCard.com #holisticwellness #catholicwellness #newagewellness

I decided to kick off my new podcast by sharing two podcasts from my old show - part one and two of my testimony.  This episode shares the 2nd half of my testimony about leaving the New Age and occult and returning to my Catholic faith.  Part 1 focuses a bit more about my background, while this part talks about how God brought me back to the faith.  Both parts share on modern day occultism.  My apologies for the audio on this podcast.  It wasn't done 'in-studio' and you can tell.

I decided to kick of my new podcast by sharing two podcasts from my old show - part one and two of my testimony.  Since I plan to talk about spiritual warfare and the occult in the podcast, I think that makes sense.  This is part one.  I recorded it when I was hosting my previous podcast in 2018.   In it, I talk about my experience in the New Age and occult and  my personal journey from modern day occultism to Christianity.  In Part 2 I will be talking about how my journey eventually led me back home to the Catholic faith.  Visit my blog at OfLightAndDark.com Check out my website at BarbaraGraver.com Visit my Etsy shop at CatholicBookAndCard.com #newageconversion #newagetochristianity #occultconversion

I left the New Age and occult in 2017 but I didn't return to my Catholic Faith immediately.  Instead like many ex-new agers, I became involved in the Evangelical "New Age To Christianity" movement.  In this introductory episode I talk about why I began this podcast and some of the topics I'll be covering.
