New Age To Catholic

Why I left the New Age and occult and returned to my Catholic faith

Reclaiming the Locus Years (Poetry)

June 10, 2021



Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given the early rain for our vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before.  “The threshing floors shall be full of grain; the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.  I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten...   - Joel 2:23-25

Joel talks about the restoration of the land after four years of failed harvest. And harvest is a theme for me.  

Reclaiming the Locust Years


We reap what we sow.  

And pound for pound there is always more of what we harvest than of what we plant.

We sow good and get better. We forget to plant and get nothing.

Or we sow the wrong thing. The bitter thing. The thing we meant to bury.

A law of nature. Not good or bad. But always reliable.

The laws of the harvest are the laws of life. But the promise of the harvest is of God. 

And his promise stands. 

Seedtime and harvest, cold and heat.

So today I pray for that future harvest, 

The one I believe in even when I can no longer remember plenty.

My name is Barbara Graver. I returned to Catholicism in early 2020 after becoming deeply involved in the New Age and occult. While in the occult I was a popular metaphysical blogger and professional card reader, relying heavily on spirits who were not what I believed them to be. I now blog and podcast on my experience.
