The symbol of the key in the occult	Mary	Thursday, April 19, 2007
Question: I am currently a Christian that believes in the inerrant word of God. I attempt to do God's work and I am involved in a church that believes in the bible fully as well. However, at one time I became led astray and got pulled into occult practices (I had my tarot cards read and messed with crystals). I was also attacked by entities multiple times. They spoke to me at the age of seven. I have been forgiven of that and I no longer do any of those things. I know that God has always had something special for me planned out from the beginning. I think he wants me to influence people in a positive way and help them. Unfortunately around the time I became pulled in, I talked to a person on the internet who claimed to be into the church of lucifer. He spoke of me being the "key" and it scared me. I do not know what the key represents for them, but shortly afterward I received the mark of a key on my stomach. I had never had the mark prior to this event. Later the man renounced that he was from the church of lucifer and told me that he was just kidding. My question is this: What does the mark of the key mean for the satanist, if anything, and why is it on me?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Mary: I praise God that you have left that occult stuff behind and have embraced the Christian Faith. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The occult is the wrong way, a lie, and ultimate death. Is this mark still on your stomach? What does it look like? Is it a like a welt raised on the skin. To does it look like a tattoo or a birthmark? In any event, it is possible for psychological forces to produce this effect. Thus, it is possible that the suggestion that you were the "key" could have created a psychological manifestation on the skin. As for a "key," usually a key symbol in Satanism refers to a key to unlock secrets, such as a secret code. Keys can be so-called Enochian Keys, which are a series of chants that appear at the end of "The Satanic Bible." Anton LeVey, founder of the Church of Satan and the author of the "Satanic Bible," claims that this alleged Enochian language, which resembles Arabic, Hebrew and Latin, is perhaps older than Sanskrit. There are grave doubts if this is true. It is likely a made-up language of relative recent origin. In any event, a key is usually some number, letter, word, or other symbol that is used to decipher a code. Satanists love secret codes. As to how you, as a person, are a key, I have no idea unless the idea is that you are to be a central part of some alleged plan. It sounds like you have repented, have asked forgiveness for your past involvements, and are living a good Christian life now. Under most circumstances this should suffice for getting rid of any attachments caused by your occult involvements. Although, if this symbol is still on your stomach, that concerns me as there may be still psychological issues involved, or there may be spiritual issues that need addressing.
