They have long been opposed to Occult studies and practices- such as Astrology and spiritualistic seances ( conversations or communicaitons with Ghosts).and so on. as late as l968 an occult-like Carnival Act- Roltair"s Illusion- where an attractive- usually in full dress Girl vanishes in what is obviously a casket- was BANNED from all Church Carnivals on sacrilegious grounds. It made interesting headlines- Bishop Bans Lewd Carnival Act! To this day they tend to oppose Stage Magic, often taking sadomasochistic forms I needn"t get into. Alchemy used secret codes and was considered an Occult art. naturally- it got the axe.
