Who is Jesus?
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
He is the light... and the life.. God manifest in human form...
Lets look at the 'Why' first.
As a worker of magik I was used to doing things myself, and doing them
my way. When I left all that behind me, I was at a loss for what to do.
I knew that I was not supposed to use magik anymore, so what was
I to do?
For quite some time my message to the church has been from the Gospel of Mark chapter 12:
Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel;
The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
There is none other commandment greater than these.

Christian fellowship, be it church or other group, is an important part in the life of a believer. It doesn't matter whether that believer is a former occultist, or long time church member, or former anything else for that matter.
First off, let me say that this is by no means true for all who work magic. Just a portion of them. I could not even venture a guess as to what percentage of those on the magic paths would have this pertain to them.
There are some of us, however, that had an aptitude for energy workings and manipulations of various types. Reflecting upon the things that happened when we stopped using magic, it has all the earmarks of withdrawal.
