Christians & The Occult

Famous Haunts?

  The other day I received a question regarding famous locations that are reported to be haunted. Are these locations different than a typical house haunting or ghost visitation? What about places such as Gettysburg, where many people have reported seeing the ghosts of both Confederate and Union soldiers?  My answer for all of these famously... [Read more of this review]

“Are They Evil?”

This past weekend after I finished my hour presentation at the Unity X-Change Seminar Tent people still had questions for me. As I stood in the back conversing with people, a dear lady came up to me. She identified herself as a life-long Christian but a few years ago after the death of her adult son she decided to go to see a medium for guidance. Why... [Read more of this review]

Familiar Spirits

   Like most people, I'm sure you've probably heard the term "familiar spirit" at some point in your life. Perhaps it was during a sermon at church or while reading a spooky book. Maybe it was referenced in a television program or a documentary that had something to do with witches or Halloween. Recently a friend of mine... [Read more of this review]

Words Do Matter

One thing that has always bothered me is the amount of mis-information within Christian circles about Wicca and witchcraft. While some people may consider it to be quibbling I want to point out that words do truly matter, especially when you want to share Jesus Christ with someone who is already most likely hostile to the church. As Christians we really... [Read more of this review]

Unidentified

So the other day some friends of mine suggested I watch a Christian movie which tackles the subject of UFO's and alien abduction. They had a lot of good things to say about it and since I'm always interested to see how a Christian movie will treat occult topics I thought I'd give it a go. I have to say I DID like this film.  It's... [Read more of this review]

Heads in the Sand

In the last few days I have witnessed a sad but all too common truth that many Christians have their heads in the sand when dealing with people who are involved in the occult. Truly, this kind of response breaks my heart. By responding in this way, many Christians are effectively abandoning people and reinforcing a very negative view of the church.... [Read more of this review]

What is Automatic Writing?

   I've noticed over the last day or so that there seems to be some confusion among Christians about a particular occult technique known as automatic writing. I thought it might be useful to take a look at this particular occult activity and define it. Automatic writing is a mediumistic talent/technique where the medium (or channel... [Read more of this review]

Twilight Inspired

Did you know that Stephanie Meyer was inspired (and continues to be so apparently)  to write her Twilight saga books from a dream? Yeah…here ya go: "I woke up . . . from a very vivid dream. In my dream, two people were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just your average girl. The other... [Read more of this review]

I’ll Try Not To Say I Told You So

As a former Christian Witch I have always suspected the day would come when someone who professes the Christian witchcraft path would offer the world some kind of "how-to" book. I remember as a member of Christian Witch message boards how many of us commiserated about the possibility in the future as "the hidden" persevered... [Read more of this review]

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. Any regrettable... [Read more of this review]

Occultism in Church?

Yesterday evening I had the great privilege of being a guest on a program called Ignite Radio with JR Pittman. I was a guest from 8-10PM, sharing my story of how I went from being a Christian for 29 years to becoming involved in the occult for years before God brought me back into full faith and relationship with Jesus Christ. I really enjoyed... [Read more of this review]

The Reality of Christian Witchcraft

The other day I received a rather "snarky" comment (which was not published due to rudeness) to a blog I posted awhile back about Christian Witchcraft called Christian Witches: Hiding In Plain Sight.  Basically the gist of the comment was there aint no such thing as Christian Witchcraft or Christian Wicca. I beg to differ. I know... [Read more of this review]

The Paranormal Has Never Been So Popular

Ghost Hunters Ghost Hunters International Ghost Hunters Academy Ghost Cops Ghost Lab Ghost Adventures Ghost Trackers Paranormal State Etc, etc, etc. Anyone else seeing the trend here? Paranormal programming has been around for awhile. As early as 1975, through shows such as "In Search Of…", as well as movies and books like... [Read more of this review]

Trusting Those Red Flags

One of the reasons I enjoy going to churches or events to share my testimony or speak is that afterward I get to answer questions. I really enjoy being able to talk one-on-one with people because it provides an opportunity to expand on a particular part of a message I may not have been able to do in the allotted time. I find something similar when... [Read more of this review]

Why Should Christians Care About The Occult?

  My friend Keiki, from The Vessel Project, asked a very good question today on Face Book. Basically she was wondering what all the interest is around horoscopes, what draws people (especially Christians) to them? The interesting thing is I was at a Praise and Coffee meeting this week and got into a conversation with a friend about... [Read more of this review]

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 ago that I wrapped the night around me like a cloak and embraced... [Read more of this review]

Mediums and Spiritists Who Whisper and Mutter

My husband saved an article from a newspaper for me announcing a "renowned medium" would be conducting readings at the major performance hall in Grand Rapids about a week ago. He tends to save these things for me because he assumes I'll be interested to know but honestly what it does is make me sad. Do you want to know why? I'm sad... [Read more of this review]

Christian Mysticism

   I was recently reading an article about the dangers of introducing New Age or Yoga practices into the church by Dr.Eddie Hyatt. He talks about how adopting occult, New Age, or ideology rooted in pagan mysticism can lead a Christian away from a faith founded in the truth of scripture to one based on experiences alone.  Even more concerning... [Read more of this review]

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 circles.... [Read more of this review]
