I can't stress this enough; few if any occultists think they're doing anything that is evil. They may reject the idea of evil its self as an objective truth. For a while, I did.
REGINA: What do you think you would say or do now, with an occultist?
ALEX: If I were to encounter someone like that and they wanted to know about my experience, and what dangers I saw, I would explain what ultimately drew me out. I would have to hope that this had the effect of making them connect the dots. I would hope and trust that they could begin to relate my experience to events in their life which should be understood as warning signs, and through that cognitive shift, gradually break the substitute paradigm.
Once that's broken, then one might be able to explain to them how they can get out. But until they've rejected the occult paradigm, I don't see how it can work in a way that won't also be destructive.
REGINA: So, bearing this in mind, what would you advise anyone involved in the occult?
ALEX: The enemy in these matters likes subtlety, because that's how he ultimately destroys more lives. Especially with tarot, with the occult, he's like shrapnel in a tank; he wants as many as possible for the least amount of effort, and he will start by creating a situation where he can ruin both your life and the lives of everybody you care about. More, it definitely won't be obvious at first. He will do far more damage by baiting you with something you think you want.
