Hepatoscopy, Hexes, and Hexagrams: Ancient Occult Practices Exposed
Occult practices often disguise themselves as “mystical wisdom” or harmless cultural rituals, but in reality, they open dangerous spiritual doors. Three of these practices—Hepatoscopy, Hexes, and Hexagrams—are rooted in pagan divination and witchcraft. The Bible warns us that these things bring demonic influence into our lives, whether we personally practiced them, had them performed on us, or inherited them through our ancestors.
Hepatoscopy: Reading the Liver for Divination
Hepatoscopy is the ancient practice of examining the liver of a sacrificed animal to predict the future. This ritual was especially popular in Babylon, Assyria, and ancient Mesopotamia. Priests believed that gods communicated through the animal’s organs, with the liver seen as the seat of life and destiny.
This is nothing less than divination—forbidden by God.
-
“There shall not be found among you anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens.” (Deuteronomy 18:10)
By seeking hidden knowledge outside of God, practitioners invited demonic spirits of deception. Today, similar practices survive in some occult and pagan rituals, showing that Satan simply recycles old lies under new names.
Hex: Spells of Harm
A hex is a spell cast to cause harm, misfortune, or control over someone. The word itself comes from the German “hexe,” meaning witch. In witchcraft, hexes often involve incantations, ritual objects, or curses spoken with intention.
People use hexes for revenge, jealousy, or to manipulate others, but what they are really doing is calling upon demons to act. What seems like power is actually bondage to spirits of witchcraft.
The Bible says:
-
“Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.” (Proverbs 26:2)
-
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper.” (Isaiah 54:17)
Christians walking in Christ’s authority are shielded from hexes, but those with open doors—through sin, occult involvement, or ancestral curses—may feel their effects until those doors are closed.
Hexagram: Harnessing Demonic Power
A hexagram is a six-pointed star formed by two interlocking triangles. In witchcraft and the occult, it is not a symbol of peace or culture but a tool for summoning and controlling demons. Witches and magicians use the hexagram in rituals, believing it channels spiritual power.
Ironically, instead of controlling demons, those who use this symbol become controlled by demons. Satan offers counterfeit power to keep people enslaved.
-
“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.” (1 Samuel 15:23)
-
“What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything? No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.” (1 Corinthians 10:20)
Why Would Anyone Get Involved?
People seek these practices for:
-
Answers to life’s uncertainties (divination for guidance).
-
Power and control (hexes for revenge or manipulation).
-
Mystical experiences (hexagrams for “spiritual energy”).
But in reality, they are trading the truth of God for lies. (Romans 1:25). What looks like enlightenment is actually bondage.
Demonic Manifestations
Christians who dabble in hepatoscopy, hexes, or hexagrams—or whose ancestors did—can experience:
-
Tormenting thoughts, fear, or confusion.
-
Recurring bad dreams, often with animals or dark figures.
-
Cycles of sickness or misfortune.
-
Relationship breakdowns and constant strife.
-
Obsession with symbols, astrology, or “secret knowledge.”
These are not coincidences—they are signs of demonic oppression. Generational involvement (such as ancestors who practiced divination or witchcraft) can also pass down curses.
Breaking Free in Christ
The good news is that Jesus Christ breaks every curse and overcomes every demonic power. His blood is stronger than any spell, hex, or occult ritual.
Pray this prayer of renunciation:
“Lord Jesus Christ, I renounce all involvement with hepatoscopy, divination, hexes, and hexagrams. I repent for myself and my ancestors. I reject all demonic spirits connected to these practices. By the blood of Jesus, I cancel every curse, hex, or spell spoken over me. I declare that Jesus Christ is my only Lord and Savior. In His name, I command every demon afflicting me to leave now. Amen.”
Conclusion
Hepatoscopy, hexes, and hexagrams may seem like ancient mysteries or harmless symbols, but they are occult practices rooted in rebellion against God. Their purpose is not guidance or empowerment but demonic deception and bondage.
As believers, we are called to walk in the light of Christ, not the darkness of forbidden practices. Reject these occult systems, close the doors to the enemy, and embrace the freedom and protection found only in Jesus Christ.
