Hi XXXXXXXXXXX,

I'm assuming from your name choice that you are against these things because you are Catholic? Please correct me if I am wrong.

You can ban them from your home, since that is your belief, and that is your home. Sit down and explain to him in detail, why you do not want them in your home, why you don't believe in them, how/why they are against your beliefs, etc.

If he refuses to understand/comply, then you will have to put your foot down, and either take them, or punish him.

Another route you could take is to explain to him why you don't want them in the home, and let him make the decision as to whether or not he will remove them, or keep them strictly in his room only. You can offer to let him keep those, but let him know he cannot bring other things home. Maybe you have some things he can keep (crystals, etc) and others that he cannot keep (Ouija board, crystal ball, etc). It's up to you.

Most kids are intrigued by these items, but lose interest after a while. My concern is getting upset about something that he may have lost interest in after a while, but instead decides to hold onto, since he knows it bothers you.

I hope this helps, if you have any further questions, feel free to ask, it costs nothing to click reply. If this has helped, please remember to click the green accept button.

Warmly,

Chase
