I hope it doesn't seem that I'm connecting the mormon church directly to the occult :). Though it's fairly well known that Joseph Smith was involved with various occult practices/symbology. In any case, I do have deeply rooted concerns with the false doctrine of the mormon church as it relates to the personage of God, Jesus, and the nature of salvation. I'm in agreement however with your suggestion to always consider whether or not an act encourages to rely upon our own wisdom and strength, or upon His - we can all use that reminder!

I too have had some similar experiences in my life though not identical to yours.I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and when I was young my family were involved in things that i did not realize at the time were occult but it was in no way related to our church. We just lacked the discernment necessary to realize the occult nature of some things which we became interested in with regards to alternative healing. It was a long and slow process to realize that the answers to the questions we were having could be found within the scriptures and within the inspired counsel of our church leaders. I have realized that it is definitely an individual responsibility placed on all of us to seek out Christ in our lives and submit to His will daily. Such an ongoing process of submission can not be accomplished in a day or a lifetime but requires an eternity and you have so courageously shared with everyone your determination to do that. May God bless you in all your efforts to follow Him. I have found strength and clarity of mind and purpose in my life as I ask myself when faced with decisions "Does this lead me to Christ and increase my faith in Him or does it tempt me to follow my own wisdom or rely on some other source of power or authority?" This simple question has helped me out many times to see when some of my beliefs and actions were not in line with God's will and helped me to more clearly discern the motives behind my actions and those of others.Thanks for your honesty and inspiring blog.
