THE OCCULT IN BOOKS

Name of Book	Description
The Harry Potter Series	A series of fantasy novels by J.K. Rowling that chronicle the adventures of the adolescent wizard Harry Potter and his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.                 The main story arc concerns Harry's quandary involving the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents in his quest to conquer the wizarding world, and subjugating non-magical people (Muggles).
The Shack	The Shack centers on discussions between a miserable main character, Mack, and three unusual characterizations of the Holy Trinity.  Mack's secrets, lies, pain and fears are swept away in a 48-hour encounter in the woods with a sassy black woman who embodies God the creator. Jesus is portrayed as a big-nosed carpenter in a plaid shirt; and the Holy Spirit is an Asian sylph called Sarayu. This book denies the atonement of Jesus Christ and attempts to fashion God in a manmade image.
The Twilight Series	A series of four vampire-based fantasy romance novels by Stephanie Meyer. It charts a period in the life of Isabella "Bella" Swan, a teenage girl who moves to Forks, Washington, and falls in love with a 104-year-old vampire named Edward Cullen. The story details their intoxicating infatuation for each other and the consequences of a lustful vampire/mortal romance.
The Secret	A best-selling 2006 self-help and spirituality book written by Rhonda Byrne.  It advocated that an individual's focused positive thinking can result in life-changing results such as increased wealth, health, happiness and more. The Secret makes no mention of God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit and contains a mixture of Hinduism, shamanism, and New Age beliefs. Among its claims, The Secret states that people can create their own reality with their minds,  and it glorifies the universe as the deity that can give people what they want.
A Course in Miracles	A Course in Miracles was channeled (spiritistically delivered) through an atheistic psychologist named Helen Schucman. Dr. Schucman had an early background in New Thought metaphysics and the occult, but would not permit public knowledge of her role as the medium and eight-year channel for the Course until after her death in1981. The course maintains that, for physical and spiritual health, people must reject biblical understandings about such issues as sin, guilt, and atonement, and accept New Age occult teachings, such as pantheism (All is God, God is All), and psychic development.
A New Earth	An Oprah’s Book Club New York Times Bestseller by Eckhart Tolle that esteems the New Age revolution and touts several Eastern religious beliefs, particularly Buddhism.  He praises Zen and Kabbalah and advocates that there is no sin or hell, that heaven is not a location but an inner realm of consciousness, and that a new earth arises in people only when they live in the present.
Eat, Pray, Love	After trying and failing to become pregnant, author Elizabeth Gilbert realizes she is not getting what she wants out of life, and, after a painful divorce, sets on a journey across the world.  While writing an article on yoga vacations in Indonesia, she met a seventh-generation medicine man who told her she would come back and study with him. After finalizing her difficult divorce, she spent the next year traveling around the world. She spent four months in Italy, eating and enjoying life (Eat). She spent four months in India, finding a Hindu spirituality (Pray). She ended the year in Bali, Indonesia, looking for "balance" of the two and found love (Love).
Women, Food and God	This New York Times bestseller book by Geneen Roth asserts that how people eat is tied to the core beliefs of their lives and that it serves as a mirror of their feelings about love, fear, anger, meaning, transformation and even God. Roth refers to God as a “luminous presence” within the person and all but admits she is an atheist.
The Hobbit	The fantasy novel and children’s book by J.R.R. Tolkien tells the story of a hobbit with furry legs who lives underground and is pleased with his life until a wizard and 13 fortune-seeking dwarves sweep him out his door and into a dangerous adventure.  The dwarves want to return to their ancestral home in the Lonely Mountains and reclaim a stolen fortune from a dragon. Along the way, they and their reluctant companion meet giant spiders, hostile elves, ravening wolves--and, most perilous of all, a subterranean creature from whom the hobbit wins a magical ring in a riddling contest.
Lord of the Flies	This novel, required reading in many schools and colleges, involves a group of British boys who are stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. With little chance of being rescued, the boys band together out of fear and desperation. But competition and power struggles split them into two packs. One group advocates civilized creativity and unity, while the other group wants nothing of it and builds a faction of barbaric hunters who ultimately go to war with the other group. This powerful shift in conscience transforms ordinary kids into primal killers, setting off a disturbing battle of good versus evil and presenting a haunting metaphor for the savage in mankind. The title is a reference to Beelzebub “god of the fly,”  “host of the fly”, or literally “Lord of Flies”), a name used as a synonym for Satan.

Many music artists make pacts with the record industry, who promise to make them rich, popular and famous. They, in essence, sell their souls to the devil.  They are promoted after they make a covenant.  They are now obligated to sing/rap about immorality, illicit sex, drugs, violence, murder, etc.
