I'm 13. Is it possible to be a Christian and engage in esotericism?translated

Reader question:

Hello. I am 13 years old, I read a person’s state through the tarot, but I don’t tell fortunes for the future: the tarot is not a predictive tool, it was created by the Christian Arthur Waite. Is this a sin? The family is a believer, so am I: at home there is a statue of the Mother of God and two icons. But I am drawn to other gods, I believe in them, I have seen entities. When a relative died and the cause was unknown, the inscription “Thrombus” appeared before my eyes - and so it turned out. I believe in God, but I am drawn to magic and esotericism - this is just my thing. My great-great-grandmother was engaged in coding, maybe her gift was passed on to me. But I go to church, I pray, I spray the room with holy water. I want to engage in esotericism, help people, but without damage and love spells. Is it possible to remain religious and help people through esotericism?
