Question:

hi im having some scruples

in the past i went to a place i can say similar to a shaman who would make charms etc so i could get more money , ive confessed this to a priest

i also confessed that as far as i remember probably owing this person money for those things and i told the priest would never go and pay this person obviously because its dangerous for me spiritually , the priest didnt quite seem to understand the situation because he asked why i didnt pay this person and i had try explain , but he gave me absolution , but basically ive been struggling with doubts because the priest asked me why i didnt pay this person . wel because he obviously was doing more harm than good and i didnt know it , i believe im forgiven but i keep having these stupid thoughts or doubts and uneasiness with this situation as if God doesnt understand the situation

Dear Rick:

You are forgiven of both sins. Do not worry about that.

As for the money owed, you should pay any debts. Receiving products without paying for them is theft.  If paying this man in person is dangerous for you, then send the money through the mail. If that is too much for you, then give the money you owe this shaman to a friend and have the friend deliver or mail the money to the shaman.

If mailing the money owed, or asking a friend to deliver or mail the money owed is somehow dangerous for you to do, then I would need to know more about this before advising you further.

I also recommend, as I recommend to all people, that after coming from Confession and doing your assigned penance, to pray the Prayer After Confession To Re-Claim Ground Taken By Satan. While the sin is forgiven in the Sacrament, the residue or consequences of sin can remain. One of the consequences of sin is that the sin allows the devil to pitch a pup-tent in your yard. The prayer above is designed to kick out the devil from your property (property is both literal property owned, and spiritual property).

If there were any spells performed by the Shaman, I advise praying Breaking Personal Curses and Spells. Then everyone should pray daily the prayer, Hedge Prayer for Protection of Self (or if a family household, then Hedge Prayer for Protection of Household).

Please use any of the prayers in the Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog, linked below.

I also recommend to all people, just to clean house in one's life, to follow the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance, linked below.

Do not fret over the sins. The sins are gone. These other prayers I suggested are just a way to protect yourself to be on the safe side.

We will be praying for you.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
