I used to read Tarot cards. I was very good at it too. I had what some call "an elemental" who knew lots of things; and he could find out many things if he didn't already know. I was not possessed. I knew what was going on. At one point, I was "tempted" to move to California to "cash in." I probably could have led a cult. I didn't want to do that; but I can see why many people would have. To the pure all things are pure. I gave up reading them when I realized people wanted to have their fortunes told. They wanted me to tell them what to do. I was horrified that they wanted to give up free will and listen to me. When I stopped, the elemental left.
When I returned to Christianity, the story of Jesus' temptation made sense to me. I think that was Satan showing up, trying to see if he could get me to use my abilities in bad ways. I never charged anyone for the readings and I'm glad I never did. I could have been signing myself over to the Dark Side for money. Even when I was not a Christian, I knew I didn't want to do that.
I'm glad to hear that you returned to Christianity, but I'm also alarmed by what you're saying here! Do you think that the occult is evil only if money is involved? It sounds like you did sign yourself over to evil in a way by practicing that which is evil. I'm familiar with the scripture "To the pure all things are pure," but evil is never pure, not in a good sense.
How are you using the term "elemental"? It sounds like a demon. You say that you were never possessed, but you also said that the "elemental" left. How do you know that you were not possessed? I'm curious if you were ever a practicing Wiccan.
I knew a woman who was into the occult before she got saved. She knew things about people that no one had told her. This is the devil's counterfeit for the "word of knowledge" listed as one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12. So, you knew things about people by an unholy spirit, and how do you know if this evil spirit is not still affecting you (even if you don't have this "special knowledge" anymore)?
Have you talked to a pastor who is familiar with the occult? I would advise you to do this.
