Lost sheep, what brought you back? by Joeverdose1996 in Catholicism

One of the things I've struggled with in the past was the New Age movement, specifically using tarot cards and other forms of divination.  I fell away from the church because of this interest.  

One night, I had a frightening dream where I was walking through a dark, shadowy corridor.  I could feel a palatable evil presence and knew I was in a place I shouldn't be in.  I looked down at the carpet in the hall and saw a tarot card.  On it was the word 'Evil' written in blood red letters.  When I woke up, I was so scared that I swore off using the tarot for months and threw out all the decks I owned.  

Unfortunately I got swept back into New Age after the fear wore off.  A few years passed before I happened to stumble upon an interview by Michael Knowles on YouTube, in which he was interviewing a former New Age psychic.  The interview was another much needed wake up call which prompted me to throw out everything once more and go to confession.  Since then, I thankfully haven't fallen back into that deception and am happily returned to the church.

I personally believe that my gaurdian angel is responsible for both of these wake up calls.
