Diana’s fascination with the occult
If you’re skeptical, you might think that Diana’s so-called obsession with the occult was something mild and unremarkable, as if she was just another person who took her horoscope too seriously. However, the princess took her obsession to the next level, throwing her considerable resources to a number of energy healers and psychic mediums.
For example, she regularly hired energy healer Simone Simm犀利士
ons to do things like cleanse her apartment of bad energy thanks to her marriage with Charles falling apart. She hired other experts to try a number of different treatments on her, including hypnotherapy, acupuncture, and so much more.

The surprising way she got involved in the occult
Princess Diana may have been obsessed with the occult, but she didn’t have that obsession when she was younger. In fact, she didn’t become interested in this subject until after she married into the Royal Family. It all started when she got some surprising advice from Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson (better known to many as Fergie).
This was 1986, and Diana was in a perpetual state of depression thanks to her crumbling marriage to Charles. She was absolutely desperate for advice, so Andrew and Fergie recommended that she go see the astrologer Penny Thornton for advice. She enjoyed the experience so much that, at Fergie’s suggestion, Diana began seeing more spiritual advisors, including Sally Morgan, Rita Rogers, and Vasso Kortesis.
