Lord of the Rings describes -- allegorically -- things that are metaphors for the supernatural.

It does not advocate for use of nature with preternatural or divination purposes.

Sure, but what would you say if a Catholic tried to do "magic" like Gandalf and the elves do?

Please allow me to elaborate.

The infiltration of the Pfeiffer family Catholic farm and chapel of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is today's gold standard of occult infiltration within the TLM movement.

Santeria is Cuban voodoo. And here we have a warlock practitioner of this black art running the property, controlling the priests and faithful. And he distributes curses throughout the country, through his unwitting slaves.
In Boston KY and in TLM chapels where the Pfeifferian priest go, we have many evidences of the poison fruits of Santeria.

Cubans are rightly scared of Santeria, but not your average trad. They are clueless.

One thing I've noticed about the SSPX is in their seminary curriculum they appear to lack any training for the priestly awareness of the occult.  In many instances over the years, in discussions with their seminarians and priests relating to topics where discernment of occult activity appears obvious, they seem to be very unaware.
Was this by design?

The Catholic manual for witch hunters titled "Malleus Maleficarum" or (The Witches' Hammer) from 1484 is a legacy to the occult infiltration problem. While Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ has supplanted it, witchcraft has been around from antiquity and is more active than ever.  You can be sure they are targeting our TLM chapels.

Thank you for this update.  Very helpful information.

It is an interesting point that you make about the sspx seminary training, and, in my experience, I have noticed the same thing: a general lack of awareness of the occult practices and how they will try to align with or pose as Catholic practices.  It is possible that this was by design.

I think this is also an important point, something I have found to be true as well:  Cubans are rightly scared of Santeria, but not your average trad. They are clueless.

Many trads, I have noticed, have an air of, "well, I'm going to the Latin Mass, what more do you want?!"  As if this is all there is to our faith.   Awareness of spiritual warfare being simply attending the Latin Mass is sometimes quite lacking.  And the idea that trad communities themselves might be infiltrated is simply not on the radar.  Which is why I posted op.

But your information is quite valuable about santeria.    Thank you for sharing.

I think everything in nature has something spiritual to teach us because I believe that everything in nature means something.

Nature is a mediator of natural knowledge of God. Things in nature are reflections of any number of His attributes. Things in nature can, of themselves, and aided by the use of our reason, teach us certain things about God, such as that there is a Creator, that He created all things, that He is One and Eternal, etc. All of this belongs to Natural Theology. 

Creatures also appear in Sacred Writ. In fact, Sacred Writ teems and abounds with references to creatures, and all of these references are symbols and types of Divine Mysteries and Realities. The interpretation of these symbols and types belongs to one and one only authority - the Roman Catholic Church. The Church, and only the Church, may teach and unveil the meaning of these references to creatures in Scriptures. The writings of the Fathers and Doctors themselves teem and abound with symbolical interpretations - which interpretaions are authorized and approved by the universal Magisterium. 

To study the Creature, either as a empirical scientist, or as an individual thinker and admirer is one thing. To seek symbolic meaning from any source other than the Church is sin. Period.
