Let There Be Peace Among Us

Yesterday, I received an email from a young woman who is a Wiccan. As I was reading through the message, I thought she was making some excellent points. Therefore, I thought I’d address those points on my blog (and with her permission) share some of this young woman’s thoughts with you. There are many Christians [...]

“God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.

Not All That Glitters Is Gold

Not All That Glitters Is Gold

There is a very important truth which many people who profess Christ are conveniently forgetting as they seek to find a form of spirituality in their lives these days. Not every spiritual or supernatural experience comes from God.  “But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder [...]

Why I Have A Problem With Paranorman

Why I Have A Problem With Paranorman

Paranorman

There is an animated film which is premiering this Friday called ParaNorman. When the trailer for this movie first appeared, I confess the title gave me pause. The play on words with paranormal gave me (obvious) reason for concern. What I saw of the brief synopsis clip was the world imperiled by zombies (which is [...]

The Subtle Seduction: Kids and the Paranormal

A number of weeks ago, my husband and I were chatting with a friend. She asked my thoughts on Harry Potter as her child was interested in reading the series. This is a very familiar question for me.  My response to the question remains the same. Parents who allow their children to read Harry Potter [...]

“Check that place out. I bet ‘D’  would go nuts over it”. My husband and I were on a long road trip. There had been a lull in our conversation so I was enjoying the view out my window and noticed a historic looking cemetery. I immediately thought of my friend who still leads the [...]

Spirit Guides: Not An Angel of the Lord

Spirit Guides: Not An Angel of the Lord

Do spirit guides protect you? The answer to that question is NO. How do I know this? Well, when I was a practicing witch and medium (and ghost hunter) I had FIVE spirit guides. One of those spirit beings claimed to be the Archangel Michael. This particular spirit being claimed to have been protecting me since childhood. [...]

Necromancy

Necromancy

Two years ago, someone asked me to define necromancy. What is it? How does it differ from being a medium or is there no difference? Confession time. I totally forgot about this question until a few weeks ago. So, I thought today would be a good day to make good on that promise to offer [...]

Why Am I Still Tempted By the Occult?

“The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.”  1 Corinthians 10:13 (NLT) Often I am asked by those [...]

This week, my friend Marcia Montenegro has been highlighting the need for Christian parents to be aware of the amount of occult material available in their children’s entertainment. I agree. Books, television programs,video games, and movies have been featuring occult characters and practices for decades now, but they do seem to be moving toward darker [...]
