The Occult is a dealbreaker (women, love, therapist, difference)

[Philosophizer]

Sorry, but there is no bigger turn off than a woman involved in that ****. Gives me the ****ing creeps.

What's that?
Should I be aware of it?

There are many women out there who would say the same thing about men who shoot animals for fun. That's why there are 6+ billion people in the world. So you can find one you like.

It's something you hear and just walk away.

Soo things that are hidden give you the creeps?? Because thats what that word means Hidden/secret. . I would be OVERJOYED if people looked this word up BEFORE they used it in the wrong context.

You do know that the difference between the occult and the three Abrahamic religions is practically nil right? Only thing is, the three monotheisms were incredibly successful at converting worshipers over the ages, so now they are accepted as normal or mainstream, when in truth their tenets and beliefs are no less ridiculous or irrational as astrology, crystal theory, Wiccanism, or aura reading.

You know damn well what I mean. Secret societies, pagan rituals, freemasons, satanists, all of it. Not for me

Really?

OP, you're going to have to define "Occult" for us. Because lots of people are intuitive, some have prophetic dreams, others may have something of a healing gift, still others can intuit when loved ones are in danger, or experience other psi phenomena. And fyi, there are a number of men around who make a living from doing readings for people (in their own private practice), male psychotherapists who do past life regressions for clients, and so forth. Do men into that stuff turn you off as well? What is it, exactly, that gives you the creeps?

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. Some pagan rituals aren't spooky, they're just solstice celebrations, and seasonal stuff like that. Burning the yule log at Christmas is pagan, you know. So is hunting for easter eggs. The Freemasons--an all-male organization. But ok, I agree on the satanism and some of that stuff.
