Plainly, the ban on the invocation of spirits includes objectively dangerous practices such as Ouija boards and other spells by retards trying to get a thrill out of the underworld. Yet Astrology to Aquinas was seen as a potentially ok as a science of nature, but not as a form of the divination. In the middle ground there is tarot, which is unnatural in its assessment of the world but does not (by name) invoke spirits. So what do you do?
Also am a practicing Catholic so this bizarre meta argument stuff is important

I can recall the peers of biblical characters using a casting of lots couples of times to determine fate and God using that for his own ends.
Here's a book too long to read written by a cardinal in the name of God so it's probs true

What "ban" are you referring to?

>Deuteronomy 18:10-12: "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD."

Good idea to check out.
Any equivalent for astrology though?

The Magi literally practiced divination to find your messiah

None of these things really include astrology. If anyone ever actually read the Bible (which they don’t), they would find that all of the great prophets and leaders of old were revered as great astrologers, and literally 3 astrologers journeyed to see the Christ child. Furthermore, half the Bible is just an encoded book about astrology. Even Christ said, why can you see the stars in the sky, but you can’t read the signs of the times? The Bible FILLED with astrology from beginning to end to HELP you. Why do you think there are 12 disciples and twelve tribes of Israel? And yet modern for profit Christianity has convinced you that astrology is somehow evil or forbidden and is just counting on you to never open your Bible.
