    Dan, might I suggest your question might receive a larger response on
    Mormon-Mystic ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mormon-mystic/ ). They're a
    friendly bunch, though their moderators do insist on courteous discourse.

    >From my perspective, Mormonism can readily adapt to truth where-ever it can be
    found; though members of the LDS church would probably be somewhat wary of
    anything described as "magic" or the "occult." I think it would be primarily a
    semantics problem: Mormons talk about "Gifts of the Spirit" not "psychic
    talents," about "Receiving the Second Comforter" not "Conversation with the
    Holy Guardian Angel," about "the Mysteries of Godliness" not "occult
    philosophy," etc.

    I'm a Bardon beginner. (I haven't really started IIH step one yet; I'm still
    reading my way through first, as Rawn suggests.) But I am a Mormon and would
    be happy to answer whatever questions I can.

    Owens wrote another piece called, "Joseph Smith Kabbalah: The Occult
    Connection" which is also available at http://gnosis.org/jskabb1.htm .

    The opposing Orthodox Mormon view was published here:
    ( http://farms.byu.edu/display.php?table=review&id=229 )

    But those are really just two people's views, there's a huge diversity of
    opinion about lots of topics (as I'm sure you know) when it comes to Mormonism
    or Christianity or Religion in general.

    For what it's worth.
