My mother really drilled into me as a child that I shouldn't have anything around me that had to do with the occult. Not only did I get in huge trouble for admitting to playing with a Ouji board at a friend's house, but I wasn't even allowed to own a Magic 8 ball. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't really magic.
Anyway, I watch the shows X Files and Charmed and manage to do it without too much guilt. But the idea of buying the DVD's brings back all the old admonitions.
I personally think that I'm giving superstition way too much power, and that owning the X Files or Charmed does not equate to dabbling in the occult. But I just feel so uncomfortable.
Were my mother's teachings in keeping with the spirit of Biblical injunctions? Would it really be wrong to have the X files or Charmed in the house?
