Exposing the Mystery of Megaliths: A Christian Perspective

 Exposing the Mystery of Megaliths: A Christian Perspective


Megaliths and the Occult: What Christians Need to Know

By Teresa Morin, President of Touch of God Int’l Ministries

From the towering stones of Stonehenge to the enigmatic dolmens of Europe and Asia, megaliths—massive stone structures arranged in deliberate patterns—dot the Earth like markers from a bygone era. Some of these ancient sites are aligned with celestial bodies, suggesting possible astrological or spiritual purposes, while others served as ceremonial or burial grounds. Though their original function remains uncertain, they continue to draw interest from spiritual seekers, pagans, and tourists alike.

But as believers in Christ, we must ask: What spirit empowered these structures? Were they simply expressions of early culture and ingenuity, or is there something more spiritually deceptive behind them?

Let’s take a closer look through biblical discernment, asking vital questions to ensure we don't unknowingly engage with spiritual counterfeits rooted in paganism or the occult.


What Are Megaliths?

The term megalith comes from the Greek words mega (great) and lithos (stone). These structures often consist of large upright stones, sometimes capped by horizontal stones, arranged in circles, rows, or burial chambers. Stonehenge is perhaps the most famous example, believed to have been constructed over 4,000 years ago. Some megalithic sites also feature ceremonial roadways that align with solstices or equinoxes, hinting at astrological observance.

While modern archaeologists debate the exact purposes of these structures—be they religious, social, or astronomical—many scholars agree they were places of spiritual significance to the cultures that built them. And herein lies the concern: What spirits were they honoring?


How to Discern Megaliths Through a Biblical Lens

As Christians, we're instructed to "test the spirits" (1 John 4:1) and examine everything by the Word of God. Before accepting any ancient practice or site as benign or a historical curiosity, we must ask key questions rooted in Scripture:

1. Who Founded These Modalities or Structures?

Megaliths were typically constructed by prehistoric or early pagan cultures. These were not God-fearing civilizations, but rather polytheistic or animistic societies that worshipped creation rather than the Creator. There is no record of these builders following the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In fact, Scripture warns us not to adopt the practices of nations that served other gods (Deuteronomy 18:9-12).

2. What Was Their Spirituality?

The spirituality behind these structures was not neutral. Archaeological findings suggest sun worship, moon observances, and seasonal fertility rites. In other words, many megaliths functioned as temples of idolatry or portals for communing with false gods. This is strictly forbidden in Scripture.

“They sacrificed to demons, not to God… gods they had not known…” – Deuteronomy 32:17

We must recognize that spiritual power exists in such places, but not the power of God. Instead, these stones became altars to principalities and demonic forces that have masqueraded as deities throughout history.

3. What Culture Did It Come Out Of?

Most megaliths originated from Celtic, Druidic, or Neolithic cultures—none of which honored the God of the Bible. Druids, for instance, were known to practice divination, human sacrifice, and spiritual communion with the dead. These practices are strictly condemned in Scripture.

“There shall not be found among you anyone who… practices divination, or tells fortunes, or interprets omens, or a sorcerer…” – Deuteronomy 18:10

When Christians visit, venerate, or participate in ceremonies at these ancient sites, they risk spiritual defilement, even unknowingly.

4. What Were Their Core Beliefs?

The builders of megaliths were often animists, believing that spirits inhabited the natural world—trees, rocks, rivers, and animals. They believed stones held energy or life force, an idea echoed in today’s New Age beliefs like crystal healing and earth energy lines.

This belief is completely opposed to Scripture, which teaches that God is the Creator and Lord over all. No object, no matter how ancient or mysterious, contains innate power or divinity.

5. Who Was Their God or gods?

The answer here is sobering: their gods were Baal, Asherah, sun deities, or other pagan idols. These false gods demanded sacrifices and lured people away from Yahweh. God often judged Israel for adopting such practices.

“They built high places to Baal… to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech.” – Jeremiah 32:35

The same demonic spirits behind those idols are still operating today. When people engage in “harmless” ceremonies at megalithic sites—chanting, meditating, or aligning with “earth energies”—they open themselves up to spiritual deception.


Modern Fascination with Megaliths: A Spiritual Trap?

New Age practitioners often flock to these ancient stone sites, treating them as sacred spaces or energy portals. They conduct solstice rituals, divination, or crystal alignments—sometimes even claiming healing or awakening experiences.

But Scripture is clear: God’s people must not mix light with darkness.

“What fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” – 2 Corinthians 6:14

Even well-meaning Christians may be tempted to romanticize these places as symbols of lost knowledge or ancient wisdom. However, we are warned not to lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5) or seek power apart from the Holy Spirit.


Closing Warning and Encouragement

If you’ve participated in visiting or honoring these sites, even as a tourist or in curiosity, repent and renounce any spiritual ties you may have unknowingly formed. Ask the Lord to close every open door to the enemy and bring cleansing through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Remember, Jesus is our only gateway to the supernatural. Any other path—no matter how old, intriguing, or mystical—leads to spiritual bondage, not freedom.

The Consequences of Channeling or Going to a Channeler

 The Consequences of Channeling: Why Christians Must Avoid New Age Spirit Possession

channeling consequences, dangers of channeling, New Age spirit possession, Christian view on channeling, demonic infestation symptoms


What is Channeling?

Channeling is a New Age practice where a person willingly allows a spiritual entity to possess them. This entity may speak through the person’s vocal cords or use their body to perform psychic diagnoses and healing. While it’s often masked as spiritual enlightenment or alternative medicine, channeling is, in reality, a doorway to spiritual darkness. The consequences are real—not just for those who perform channeling, but also those who seek it.

Who Founded Channeling?

Modern channeling was popularized by Helena Blavatsky, co-founder of the Theosophical Society in 1875. She claimed to receive teachings from “ascended masters” and hidden spiritual beings. Her movement merged Eastern mysticism, occult beliefs, and spiritualism—laying the foundation for New Age channeling. Blavatsky’s spirituality rejected the God of the Bible and promoted reincarnation, karma, and esoteric knowledge. Where does Helena get her information? From demonic spirits. 

What Culture Did Channeling Come From?

Channeling has ancient roots in paganism, spiritualism, and Eastern mysticism. Ancient shamans, oracles, and witch doctors also allowed spirits to possess them in exchange for power, knowledge, or healing. The practice gained popularity in the West during the 19th-century spiritualist movement, encouraging communication with the dead and unseen spirits.

New Age channeling combines these beliefs with modern self-help and metaphysical language. It often references energy healing, chakras, universal consciousness, and “higher self” wisdom.

Who Are Their Gods or Spirits?

Those who channel do not serve the one true God of the Bible. Instead, they call upon:

  • Spirit Guides

  • Ascended Masters

  • Extraterrestrial Beings

  • Deceased Souls

  • Universal Consciousness

These entities are not of God. The Bible teaches that such beings are demonic in nature, appearing as “angels of light” to deceive (2 Corinthians 11:14). No true angel of God would ever possess a human or speak outside God’s Word.

Is Channeling Divination or Energy?

Channeling is a form of divination and spiritism forbidden in Scripture. While it may be described as “energy healing,” its foundation lies in calling upon spiritual powers outside of God’s authority.

“Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them.” – Leviticus 19:31

“Let no one be found among you who... consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.” – Deuteronomy 18:10-12

Consequences for Those Who Channel

People who serve as channels often suffer demonic infestation. They open themselves to unclean spirits by allowing spiritual possession. The consequences may include:

  • Emotional torment and deep anxiety

  • Hearing voices or whispering

  • Nightmares and disturbing dreams

  • Seeing shadowy figures or glowing orbs

  • Mental confusion, fear, anxiety

  • Suicidal thoughts or compulsive behaviors

These are not symptoms of enlightenment—they are signs of demonic bondage. The person becomes a puppet for evil spirits masquerading as healers or helpers.

Consequences for Those Who Visit Channelers

People who seek advice, healing, or guidance from channelers are not innocent participants. By engaging with occult practitioners, they come into agreement with demonic forces. Even if the session feels “peaceful,” the spiritual consequences are dangerous:

  • Curses can be transferred

  • Oppression and torment can begin

  • Confusion and fear may follow

  • Spiritual dullness and disconnection from God

  • Need for deliverance and inner healing

The Bible clearly warns us not to consult mediums or spirits (Isaiah 8:19). Seeking supernatural help apart from God is idolatry and rebellion.

Can You Christianize Channeling?

No. You cannot take a false religious practice and “baptize” it with Christian language. Some claim they channel the Holy Spirit—but the Holy Spirit does not possess or control people like pagan spirits. He works in order and truth, never apart from Scripture.

“What fellowship can light have with darkness?” – 2 Corinthians 6:14

“If Jesus didn’t do it, don’t do it.” – A biblical rule of discernment

Jesus never summoned spirits, performed psychic readings, or allowed spiritual entities to speak through Him. Christians are called to imitate Christ—not occult healers.

The Way Out: Freedom Through Christ

Anyone who has been involved in channeling—either as a practitioner or seeker—can be set free. True healing and peace come only through repentance, renunciation, and faith in Jesus Christ. Deliverance may be needed to break spiritual strongholds and restore peace.

“Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” – James 4:7

“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” – John 8:36

Methods of discernment for all Christians for protection:

• Who was the founder of this modality?

• What was his/her spirituality?

• What culture did it come out of?

• What were their beliefs?

• Who is their God or gods?

Did Jesus use this modality? No.

Many occult practices in Christianity need to be discerned.  Another method of discernment is the Word of God. The word of God is our measuring stick. The more we read the word, know the word, and have a relationship with the Lord, the more we discern right and wrong. We perish from a lack of knowledge.

Hosea 4:6 declares, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.”

Discernment - False Teaching

Learn Biblical Discernment and Not Fall into False Teaching- Watch the Video 

Are you tired of chronic illness and spiritual confusion? Have you been searching for answers and healing—both physically and spiritually? You're not alone. In a world overflowing with voices, philosophies, and doctrines, knowing the difference between truth and deception is more important than ever. Biblical discernment is not optional for a believer—it’s essential.

Why Biblical Discernment Matters

The Bible warns us that false teachers will arise and lead many astray (Matthew 24:11). These deceptive voices often sound spiritual, speak of Jesus, and even quote Scripture. But they twist the truth subtly—just enough to lead people down dangerous paths that seem right but end in spiritual bondage.

2 Corinthians 11:14 reminds us that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. This means not everything that looks or sounds Christian actually is. Without the gift and practice of discernment, many believers become entangled in teachings that mix truth with error—ultimately leading to spiritual compromise and open doors to demonic oppression.

How to Grow in Biblical Discernment

  1. Know the Word of God
    The Bible is the standard by which we test all things. Reading and studying Scripture regularly helps you identify what is true and what is false.
    Hebrews 5:14 says, "But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil."

  2. Be Led by the Holy Spirit
    The Holy Spirit is our teacher (John 14:26). He gives insight and helps us discern motives, doctrines, and spirits. Ask Him daily to sharpen your discernment.

  3. Test Every Teaching
    1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 says, “Test everything. Hold on to the good. Reject every kind of evil.” Don’t just accept something because it sounds good or is popular.

  4. Stay in Christian Fellowship
    Godly counsel and accountability with mature believers can help you stay on track. Isolation makes you more vulnerable to deception.

The Danger of Ignorance

Just like unchecked chronic conditions like childhood asthma are rising and affecting quality of life, spiritual ignorance leads to emotional, mental, and physical strongholds. Bitterness, fear, and false beliefs open the door to torment and suffering. Deliverance and healing begin when we recognize the lies we’ve believed and replace them with the truth of God's Word.

How to Discern Evil Spirits

Discerning Evil Spirits in the Church: How to Expose Occult Practices with Scripture

Discerning Evil Spirits in the Church: How to Expose Occult Practices with Scripture


📖 “I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities, And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.” — Psalm 31:7-8, NKJV


Discerning Evil Spirits is Spiritual Warfare

In these last days, deception has crept not just into the world but into the church. What once seemed holy or helpful is often a cleverly disguised counterfeit rooted in the occult. Believers must awaken to spiritual discernment, recognizing that this is not just a matter of error—it's war.

🔍 How Do You Discern Occult Practices in the Church?

Many Christians unknowingly participate in or accept demonic modalities cloaked in Christian language. To walk in purity and power, we must test every spirit and expose the works of darkness (1 John 4:1, Ephesians 5:11). The Bible calls us to be watchmen, not passive participants.

Use these biblical methods to evaluate any spiritual practice or teaching:

1. Who Founded It?

  • Look into the origin of the practice.

  • Was it birthed by someone with New Age, Eastern mystic, or occult ties?

2. What Was Their Spiritual Belief?

  • Did they worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

  • Or did they practice divination, energy manipulation, or channeling?

3. What Culture Did It Originate From?

  • Was it rooted in Hinduism, Buddhism, Witchcraft, or paganism?

  • Cultures steeped in idolatry pass on unclean spiritual inheritances.

4. What Were Their Beliefs?

  • Do these teachings align with the gospel of Jesus Christ, or do they promote self-divinity, inner light, or cosmic consciousness?

5. Who is Their god or gods?

  • The spiritual source behind a practice matters.

  • If their god is not the Lord Jesus Christ, the God of the Bible, it is a false god—often demonic.

📖 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” — 1 John 4:1, NKJV


📚 God’s Word is the Ultimate Discernment Tool

The Word of God is our measuring rod. If a teaching, vision, or practice contradicts Scripture or cannot be supported by it, reject it.

God is not vague. He has clearly warned against:

  • Divination and sorcery (Deuteronomy 18:10-12)

  • Consulting the dead (necromancy – Isaiah 8:19)

  • Mixture and syncretism (2 Corinthians 6:14-17)

No matter how “Christianized” a practice appears—if it originated in darkness, it cannot be sanctified.


✝️ Walking the Narrow Path

Jesus said:

“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad… But the gateway to life is very narrow, and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.”
— Matthew 7:13–14, NLT

We live in a world—and often a church—that tells us to widen the path, to be more inclusive, tolerant, and open to “new revelations.” But this wide road leads to spiritual destruction.

Biblical Christianity requires discernment, courage, and a willingness to stand alone for truth.


🛡️ Discernment Is Spiritual Warfare

Discerning spirits is not just about being cautious—it’s about protecting the flock, cleansing your temple, and advancing God’s Kingdom.

When occult practices are allowed into the church:

  • Demonic infiltration begins

  • People open gates to spiritual torment

  • Confusion replaces sound doctrine

  • Counterfeit experiences mimic the Holy Spirit

This is why discernment is war. And God calls us to fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12) by wielding the sword of the Spirit—His Word.


🚫 Common Occult Practices Found in Churches Today:

  • Energy healing or “Christian Reiki”

  • Soaking prayer influenced by Eastern mysticism

  • Visualization as a form of “manifestation”

  • “Christian” yoga

  • Theophostic/Inner healing with hypnotic techniques

  • Centering prayer and contemplative prayer rooted in mysticism

If it’s not found in the Word, don’t do it.


🙏 Prayer of Repentance and Discernment

Heavenly Father,
I repent for any agreement I have made with false teachings or occult practices. Forgive me for following experiences over Your Word. Cleanse me with the blood of Jesus. Teach me Your truth, and sharpen my discernment. I choose the narrow path. Holy Spirit, lead me into all truth and reveal what is not from You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
