Regret in seeing a fortune teller

13 replies

riverforest11112 · 27/07/2025 16:34

few good years I went to 1 or 2 mediums and they shortly afterwards I went through a really bad period and I started to sought out many more .for answers I guess
After a tumultuous period i hit depression and never again did I see them in about 6 or 7 years until this week I really was so down and desperate and I wanted to see one but afterwards
I’m filled with huge regrets and as catholic/ Christian I’m really sad and worried about my relationship with god. And to aspire to heaven.
I want to now go to confession to tell my sins but will that work? Will god still love and forgive me and I never want to do that again.
what else can I do ?

The main characteristic of God is that He is all loving. So he loves you. He loved you before, during, and now after your actions.

The Bible writings condemn being a medium/fortune teller, NOT seeking one out, as they know it is human weakness to want answers.

Yes of course he will. Just confess and ask for forgiveness but stop going.

Yes He will. Because He loves you, and understands why you did it.

He warns us off precisely because it does us no good.

It's the charlatan "mediums" who con people out of their money who'll be in God's bad books, OP.

Thank you so much for this I was absolutely sick in my tummy when I stopped a couple years ago I never actually got blessed by a priest but I did confess to other church friends and I did get forgiven from them however the idea of the devil being happy that I been to them again makes me more sadder unfortunately I did have a moment of doubt bit I was in this desperate place and I was being selfish
my mom don’t like them as do my church friend

We all make mistakes.
Just get back to your usual spiritually healthy habits. Go to church if you can. Go to church groups. Do the things that make you stronger.

Fortune-tellers and mediums are just charlatans who are out to make money from vulnerable people such as yourself.

Please stop worrying. You have not committed an unforgivable sin or anything even remotely close.

You have done nothing wrong except try to find solace and certainty.

You will find far more by just going to church and meeting up with friends.

There's no such thing as god and there's no such thing as fortune telling, so don't worry.

Now, have a cup of tea and relax. 🙂

You are presuming you know what ‘God’ is.

Yes, it's a figment of people's imaginations.

@riverforest11112

This is the former Pope talking about fortune tellers. He says it means trying to buy false hope when you could get something real from Jesus. But you don’t see him condemning anyone who has fallen for fortune tellers.

You can see his smile when he says to his audience ‘But I know none of you have done this……....have you?’😘 He understands. He forgives.

There are many gods, people all over the world believe in gods and spirits.
Indigenous atheist cultures are rare to nil. I practice Buddhism which isn't atheist at all, it's just the Westernized version; we believe in gods and spirits.
OP if your religion tells you to stay away from fortune tellers, you should do that. Mine is fine with divination.
