The Hidden Mysticism of the Bible: What Christianity Doesn’t Tell You About Sacred Practices
For centuries,men and women, especially those called to spiritual work, energy healing, or womb wisdom, have been told that their gifts are wrong, dangerous, or even evil. Words like “witchcraft” and “pagan” were thrown like stones, meant to silence intuition and sever us from our sacred power.
But what if the Bible itself holds ancient wisdom that looks a lot like the spiritual practices we’re reclaiming today?
Let’s take a deeper look.
Divine Guidance Through Sacred Tools
Did you know that in the Old Testament, high priests used special objects called Urim and Thummim to receive divine answers? These were physical tools, carried close to the heart, used to discern God's will, much like modern-day tarot cards, pendulums, or casting lots.
The practice wasn’t forbidden, it was sacred.
It was how leaders received guidance when words weren’t enough.
Astrology at the Birth of Christ
We all know the story of the Magi, wise men who followed a star to find Jesus. But what most people don’t say out loud is this:
The Magi were astrologers.
They read the sky, interpreted signs, and used ancient wisdom to recognize that a King had been born.
And not only was this act accepted, it was divinely orchestrated. God spoke through the stars, and they listened.
Sacred Rituals, Oils, and Incense
So many modern-day women love to anoint themselves with oils, light incense, and create sacred spaces. Sadly, some have been told this is “witchcraft.”
But in the Bible, God gave detailed instructions for preparing holy anointing oil and incense to be burned in the Tabernacle.
Exodus 30 gives an exact recipe, cinnamon, myrrh, olive oil, and fragrant resins.
These weren’t witchy ingredients. They were holy.
Prophecy, Visions, and Trances
If a woman today says she’s had a vision or heard from Spirit, some might accuse her of new-age thinking.
But the prophets of the Bible were visionaries, they spoke with angels, had vivid dreams, and fell into trances during prayer.
Peter himself fell into a trance where he received divine instruction (Acts 10:9-16).
Ezekiel saw wheels within wheels and shining beings.
Daniel interpreted dreams for kings.
These are mystical experiences, sacred, divine, and real.
Womb Wisdom and Feminine Energy
While the Bible doesn’t always explicitly celebrate womb healing, it’s rich with imagery of creation, birth, and the Divine Feminine:
- Sophia (Wisdom) is personified as a woman crying out in the streets, calling people back to truth (Proverbs 8).
- Mary, the mother of Jesus, carried the Divine Word in her womb, making her body a holy vessel of creation.
- The Ark of the Covenant has been compared symbolically to the womb, holding the sacred law and the presence of God.
The body, especially the womb, was never meant to be seen as shameful, it was designed as sacred.
So What Does This Mean for Us?
It means that our sacred practices today, anointing with oils, creating ritual space, working with the cycles of the moon, tuning into intuition, aren’t something new or dangerous.
They are ancient ways of knowing, rooted in human connection with the Divine.
We are simply remembering what was always ours.
So whether you call your path shamanic, mystical, Christian, or something else entirely, know this:
You are not wrong for seeking healing.
You are not wrong for listening to Spirit.
You are not wrong for honoring your sacred body.
The Divine speaks in many languages, and sometimes, She speaks through you!
