Is This The Church?

Over the past week I've been doing a lot of thinking. Thinking about God, faith, what it means to be a Christian and how or if that even plays out in what we now call the church because I'm not so sure. What is "the church"?  Is it this? Buildings…simple or complex. Small or gigantic. [...]

Is Ghost Hunting A Sin?

When it comes to ghost hunting there is a question that Christians should be asking. Is ghost hunting a sin? Well, first lets define what we mean by "sin". According to Dictionary.com there are several definitions including: Transgression of divine law (the sin of Adam). Deliberate violation of religious or moral principle.

He Never Stopped Waiting For Me

There are times at night, when it's very dark and quiet, that I think about the years I spent away from the Lord pursuing The Craft and honing my ability as a medium. Some times it seems like such a long time ago and then someone reminds me it really wasn't. It wasn't that long [...]

Searching for the White Light

When I was still involved in occult activities whenever I was going to do spell work, meditate, work with the pendulum, etc., I would create a circle of protection around myself by envisioning myself surrounded by  "the white light of the Holy Spirit". This is a very familiar concept within "spiritual", New Age, or occult [...]

A Lonely Voice Crying Against The Wind

You know, some times when I see yet another major news network offering a profile of a psychic medium or catch a commercial for any of the paranormal investigative television programs I want to throw my hands into the air and say "fine".   Some times I honestly want to understand why God has put [...]

Crystals ~ Pretty but Powerless

Crystals and gemstones.  Beautiful natural rock and mineral formations that when polished are beautiful to behold.  They make lovely decorative pieces in the home and fabulous jewelry to wear. As a witch, however, I looked at crystals and gems quite differently.  Witches, New Agers, and Occultists believe that crystals and gems hold a certain kind [...]

Psychic Shielding

When I was a witch and medium one of the exercises I would go through daily was called "shielding".  The concept is very popular in occult and new age circles. Basically, the idea of shielding is to surround yourself with positive energy from the earth, the "white light of the holy spirit", etc., as a [...]

Who Do You Serve?

I've been thinking a lot about a supernatural incident which happened a number of years ago.  I thought I would take some time to share it here. Ten years ago, when I began to explore the occult and witchcraft I became very involved in goddess worship.  I remember thinking at the time that I'd spent [...]

Auras

I was recently asked if the supernatural ability to see "auras" is a gift God has given to Christians.  First, let's define what the ability to see an aura actually is. According to Got Questions.com, "Auras are believed to be subtle energy fields or fields of light emanating from human beings, as well as all [...]

Magick or Prayer with Props?

One of the arguments I've heard…and made myself in the past…is that practicing magick is no different than prayer.  In fact, a popular saying among mystics and Christian Witch's is that magick is "prayer with props".  The question…is this a proper understanding of magick or prayer? Prayer…from a Christian standpoint…is intimate communication with God.  A [...]
