Other Christian
In recent times, I've seen a lot of content creators talk about astral projection, the practice of magic (either white or black magic) and other more 'new age' practices.
As a newly converted Christian, I can't help but be curious about exploring the spiritual plane and deepening my relationship with God. I've been fascinated with astral projection for quite a while and have accidentally done it once while dreaming. I'm interested in consciouly doing it but I'm not sure if I'll be risking my afterlife by doing so.
Magic is something I've also been reading about and I can't help but be fascinated by it. I've also read that the early Christian Gnostics practiced white magic with biblical scripture.
I understand that scripture doesn't allow communication with demonic entities through any means, however there can't be only dark entities residing in other dimensions. Are we as Christians allowed to engage in spiritual practices with the sincere intention of getting closer to God or is it strictly forbidden?
