Aquinas's Discussion of the Occult

We've learned a lot more since aquinass time. Weve what aquinas has to say about a lot of different things that were considered occult or hidden in his day. One of the best things we can do with aquinas's discussion of the occult is look at the principles that he employs. The first principle concerns whether the goal of the practice is good. If you are trying to do something wrong, like harm a child with the evil eye, then the practice is ntgoing to be permitted. What if it's good? Well, then you go to the second principle. The second principle concerns how it works. Is it by natural means or not? And so on.
