If you are looking for God, make sure that you look where He can be found! There are many people who go looking for spiritual experiences and end up doing things that God warns us not to do. God says not to talk to the dead (so no seances or Ouija boards or anything like that), He says not to consult fortune tellers or interpret omens (so stay away from horoscopes, zodiacs, and that sort of thing), and He says not to practice witchcraft (Don’t mess with spells or anything with supposed magical or spiritual properties). If you’re looking for something spiritual (which is a good thing to do!) make sure that you don’t go looking anywhere that God doesn’t want you to go. There are no other religions or spiritual disciplines that can offer you any spiritual insight beyond what God has revealed to His people in Scripture. And the only path to God goes through Jesus Christ! Let’s seek God wisely.
