And btw, there is nothing more occult than the catholic church. Its full of rituals, ceremonies, all catholic church are full of occult symbols, its all over the place
Wikka and reiki are rather recent things, and artificially recreated in the 19th based on not much but some kind of syncretism of symbols by some occultists like eliphas levey or such, for me they are mostly cult, not even truly paganism in the sense rural traditions. Its mostly fake folkloric things.
But still for me i'dont really see why anything that is a religion as large scale social conditioninng would be inherently more moral or ethical than anything else.
The whole idea of oneness, of good, of spiritual reality has not been created by judaism or christianism actually.
The bible is lot of plagiarism of more ancient things.
The genesis is copy cat of summerian myth. Jew learned everything from egyptian and summerians.
The new testament is mostly a compilation of gnostic teaching and rehash of neo platonicism.
Moral and ethics are not the monopoly of religion and it always goes hand in hand with rationalism, geometry, justice etc.
I dont even really see how repressing man's passion to turn one into a dogma following robots for the interest of church hierachy can be constructed as something really moral .. even comparing it with military boot camps doesnt really help to make it look like something especially moral, even if its good order following robots who put their passion aside to follow a dogma or orders.
At best catholic church washed it down to make it easier to swallow by guillible persons, as well as erasing remain of all other cultures with a sense of moral superiority. Deciding unilaterally what is acceptable to believe or not for the peasants under feudal rules.
This form of fundementalism is at the core of carholic church since the 4th century to lead french army under the king, while greeks already invented democracy, republic, mathematics, geometry, philosophy etc etc. They just kept this knowledge to an elite and kept everyone else ignorant, calling anyone a bit more educated into anything an heretic to torture or kill them, while supporting a feudal monarchy with a hierarchical clergy ruling over what everyone can believe or not.
In france you can barely have 10km without a catholic church somewhere, the history of catholic church is all over the place, we still have medieval cities, castle and everything a bit everywhere .. i dont even need to google to see this ..
Actually once you put a foot into a catholic church, the occultism is everywhere, with gargoyls, dragons, occult symbols everywhere .. and how they keep their library secrets, and the ior lack of transparency is just the very definition of occult organisation.
