Witches, Spells, Voodoo, and Curses: What Christians Need to Know

Witchcraft: What Is a Witch, What Do Witches Do, and Why Christians Must Reject Witchcraft

Definition of a Witch

A witch is a male or female who uses occult power, spells, rituals, divination, spirits, or supernatural manipulation to accomplish what they believe is good or evil. Some witches claim they only practice “white magic,” healing, protection, nature worship, or harmless rituals. Others openly practice curses, hexes, binding spells, love spells, death spells, revenge spells, and spirit communication.

From a biblical standpoint, the issue is not whether the witch calls the practice “good” or “evil.” The issue is the source of the power. God forbids witchcraft because it seeks supernatural power outside of Him. It opens spiritual doors to familiar spirits, divination, deception, rebellion, manipulation, and demonic influence.

Deuteronomy 18:10–12 warns God’s people not to practice divination, sorcery, witchcraft, spell casting, mediumship, spiritism, or consulting the dead. Galatians 5:19–21 lists witchcraft as a work of the flesh. Revelation 21:8 and Revelation 22:15 also warn about sorcery and those who refuse to repent.

What Do Witches Do?

Witches vary widely in what they practice, but common activities may include:

1. Casting spells
2. Performing rituals
3. Using candles, herbs, oils, crystals, charms, altars, symbols, or written petitions
4. Calling on spirits, ancestors, deities, guides, or “energies”
5. Practicing divination through tarot cards, pendulums, astrology, runes, tea leaves, scrying, or crystal balls
6. Attempting to control outcomes through intention, visualization, chanting, or ritual words
7. Performing protection spells, love spells, money spells, binding spells, banishing spells, hexes, or curses
8. Working with moon cycles, seasonal rituals, nature spirits, or pagan gods and goddesses
9. Joining covens or practicing alone as a solitary witch
10. Using familiar spirits, knowingly or unknowingly, for information, power, or spiritual influence

Many modern witches do not call themselves Satanists. Some say they do not believe in Satan at all. However, the Bible teaches that deception does not have to announce itself as darkness. Second Corinthians 11:14 says Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. A practice can appear peaceful, healing, spiritual, or empowering and still be rooted in forbidden spiritual power.

Types of Witches

There are many labels used today. These categories can overlap, and many witches combine several practices.

Wiccan Witch — Practices Wicca, a modern pagan religion that often honors a god and goddess and uses ritual magic.

Solitary Witch — Practices alone rather than in a coven.

Coven Witch — Belongs to a group that meets for rituals, ceremonies, seasonal observances, or spell work.

Green Witch — Focuses on herbs, plants, nature, earth energy, and natural remedies.

Kitchen Witch — Uses food, cooking, herbs, and household rituals as spiritual practice.

Hedge Witch — Often associated with spirit travel, trance work, ancestor communication, and crossing spiritual boundaries.

Eclectic Witch — Pulls practices from multiple traditions, including paganism, folk magic, astrology, energy work, and New Age beliefs.

Ceremonial Witch or Ritual Magician — Uses structured rituals, symbols, names, invocations, circles, and occult systems.

Dianic Witch — Often goddess-centered and focused on feminine spirituality.

Sea Witch — Uses water, shells, tides, moon cycles, and ocean symbolism.

Cosmic Witch — Uses astrology, planets, moon phases, and celestial timing.

Traditional Witch — Claims to follow older folk-magic, ancestral, or pre-Wiccan practices.

Black Witchcraft / Dark Magic Practitioner — Uses curses, hexes, revenge rituals, death spells, domination, control, or destruction.

White Witchcraft Practitioner — Claims to use magic only for healing, protection, blessing, or good intentions. Biblically, this is still forbidden because the power source is not the Holy Spirit.

How Witches Cast Spells on People

A spell is an occult act meant to influence a person, situation, emotion, body, relationship, decision, or outcome through spiritual power. Witches may use spoken words, written names, candles, personal items, photos, symbols, oils, herbs, knots, jars, dolls, altars, blood, hair, clothing, or repeated rituals.

Some spells are intended to attract love, money, success, attention, or favor. Others are meant to bind a person, silence them, confuse them, make them sick, separate relationships, stir lust, cause fear, block progress, or bring harm. Some witches use divination first to “read” a person spiritually, then attempt to target them through rituals.

Christians should not fear witchcraft, but they should not be ignorant of spiritual warfare either. Luke 10:19 says that Jesus gives His people authority over the enemy's power. First John 4:4 says, “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” However, believers must remain submitted to God, repentant, obedient, and free from open doors.

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

Can Witchcraft Put Sickness and Disease on a Christian?

A Christian who is truly walking with the Lord, submitted to God, repenting of sin, closing occult doors, and standing in the authority of Jesus Christ does not need to fear witchcraft. Satan is not equal to God. A witch is not more powerful than the blood of Jesus. No curse is greater than the cross.

However, Christians must be careful not to make a blanket statement that every sickness means disobedience or that an obedient Christian can never experience sickness. Scripture shows that righteous people can go through affliction. Job was attacked by Satan, yet God set limits. Paul had a thorn in the flesh. Timothy had stomach issues. Epaphroditus was sick near death, yet he was a faithful servant of God.

A more biblically balanced statement is this:

When a believer is submitted to God, walking in obedience, covered by the blood of Jesus, and refusing occult agreement, witchcraft has no legal right to rule over them. Satan may try to sift, accuse, tempt, harass, or attack, but he cannot override the authority of God. If sickness, oppression, or torment is present, the believer should seek the Lord, repent of any open doors, break curses, renounce occult involvement, receive prayer, and also seek appropriate medical care when needed.

Jesus is Healer, Deliverer, and Lord.

Biblical Warnings Against Witchcraft

Deuteronomy 18:10–12 — God forbids divination, witchcraft, sorcery, spell casting, mediumship, and spiritism.

Leviticus 19:31 — God warns His people not to turn to mediums or familiar spirits.

Leviticus 20:6 — God sets His face against those who seek mediums and familiar spirits.

Galatians 5:19–21 — Witchcraft is listed among the works of the flesh.

Acts 8:9–24 — Simon the sorcerer was rebuked for trying to mix spiritual power with selfish ambition.

Acts 13:6–12 — Elymas the sorcerer opposed the gospel and was judged by God.

Acts 19:18–20 — New believers burned their magic books after coming to Christ.

Revelation 21:8 — Sorcery is listed among sins that lead to judgment.

Revelation 22:15 — Sorcerers are described as outside the holy city.

Where in Europe Are There the Most Witches?

It is difficult to know exactly where the most witches are because witchcraft is not organized like a denomination with a membership roll. Many practitioners are solitary, private, or identify under broader labels such as Pagan, Wiccan, occultist, spiritual practitioner, or folk-magic practitioner.

Modern Wicca began in the United Kingdom in the 1940s and 1950s, so the United Kingdom remains one of the major centers of modern witchcraft and Wicca. England and Wales have official census categories where people can write in “Pagan,” “Wicca,” or “Witchcraft.” Other European countries with strong pagan, folk-magic, occult, or witchcraft communities include Ireland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, France, and parts of Scandinavia.

Historically, Europe had major witch trials in places such as Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, France, and England. Today, modern witchcraft is more public through festivals, shops, online communities, covens, and solitary practitioners.

Are Witches in Every State in the USA?

Yes, modern witches, Wiccans, pagans, occult practitioners, New Age spiritualists, and folk-magic practitioners can be found in every state in the United States. Some practice openly, while others practice privately. Many are solitary and do not belong to an official group.

States often associated with larger or more visible witchcraft, pagan, occult, or New Age communities include California, New York, Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Florida, Texas, and Louisiana. Massachusetts is often associated with witchcraft because of Salem and the history of the Salem witch trials, though that history involved persecution and accusations rather than modern Wicca.

If measuring by total population, larger states such as California, Texas, Florida, and New York likely have more practitioners simply because they have more people. If measuring by cultural visibility, Massachusetts, Oregon, California, and New York are often mentioned. However, there is no perfect official state-by-state count of all witches.

Which State Has the Most Witches?

There is no reliable official count of witches by state. Witchcraft is often private, decentralized, and self-identified. Some surveys count Wiccans and Pagans, but many witches are not Wiccan, and many Wiccans do not report themselves publicly.

For absolute numbers, California may have one of the largest populations simply because it is the most populated state and has many metaphysical, occult, pagan, and New Age communities.

For public association with witchcraft, Massachusetts is one of the most recognized because of Salem. Oregon, especially Portland, is also known for visible pagan and occult communities. New York and California also have large occult, New Age, and spiritual communities.

So the safest wording is:

There are witches in every U.S. state, but no official source can prove one state has the most. California may have one of the highest numbers by population, while Massachusetts is the state most famously associated with witchcraft because of Salem.

Pew says reliable worldwide Wiccan estimates are not available, but Wicca is practiced mostly in the U.K. and U.S. Brandeis notes Wicca began in the U.K. in the 1940s, and Wicca/witchcraft are part of the larger contemporary pagan movement. Pew’s 2023–24 Religious Landscape Study surveys all 50 states and groups Wicca/Pagan under small “other religion” categories, not a clean witch-by-state count. The U.K. 2021 census write-in data for England and Wales included Pagan, Wicca, and related categories, which is why the U.K. is one of the easier European countries to discuss with data. 

Levels and Hierarchy of Witchcraft

Not every witch follows the same hierarchy. Some practice alone and have no rank. Others belong to covens or occult orders with structured levels. In Wicca and some covens, the structure may include degrees or initiations.

Common levels may include:

Seeker — A person exploring witchcraft or Wicca.

Student / Apprentice — A beginner learning beliefs, rituals, tools, symbols, and practices.

Initiate — A person formally accepted into a coven or tradition.

First Degree — A beginner-level initiate in some Wiccan systems.

Second Degree — A more advanced practitioner who may help teach or lead rituals.

Third Degree — A high-level initiate who may lead a coven or be considered clergy.

High Priest / High Priestess — A leader in a coven or Wiccan group.

Elder — A long-time practitioner recognized for experience or authority.

Outside of Wicca, occult systems may use different ranks such as adept, master, magician, priestess, oracle, seer, rootworker, conjurer, shamanic practitioner, or spiritual worker. Some dark occult groups may also have hidden rankings based on control, spirit power, secrecy, bloodline claims, rituals, or demonic assignments.

From a Christian perspective, these “levels” are not spiritual maturity. They are deeper involvement in forbidden spiritual practices. The deeper a person goes into witchcraft, the more bondage, deception, spiritual contamination, and demonic legal rights may be present.

Why People Get Involved in Witchcraft

People may get involved in witchcraft for many reasons:

1. Curiosity
2. Rebellion against God or church hurt
3. Desire for power or control
4. Desire for protection
5. Pain, trauma, rejection, or loneliness
6. A need to feel special or spiritually gifted
7. Family tradition or generational witchcraft
8. New Age influence
9. Social media, books, movies, or online communities
10. Desire to manipulate love, money, success, or revenge
11. Fear of the future
12. Desire to contact the dead
13. Seeking healing outside of Jesus Christ

Many enter witchcraft looking for healing or empowerment, but they do not realize they are opening themselves to spirits that are not from God.

How Witchcraft Hurts a Christian

A Christian who participates in witchcraft, even “white witchcraft,” opens dangerous spiritual doors. It can bring confusion, torment, fear, nightmares, oppression, sickness, bondage, rebellion, pride, false discernment, divination, familiar spirits, and spiritual contamination.

Witchcraft also attacks the believer’s intimacy with God. It teaches people to seek control instead of surrender, power instead of obedience, and hidden knowledge instead of trust in the Lord.

First Samuel 15:23 says rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. This shows that witchcraft is not just spells and rituals; it is also a spirit of rebellion, control, manipulation, and independence from God.

some witches knowingly serve Satan, Lucifer, demons, or dark spirits, but not all witches understand it that way.

Many modern witches, Wiccans, pagans, and New Age practitioners believe they are serving nature, the moon, ancestors, gods/goddesses, spirits, “energy,” or the universe. Many Wiccans specifically say they do not worship Satan and may not even believe Satan exists. From a biblical Christian view, though, any supernatural power sought outside of the Holy Spirit is still a forbidden spiritual source, even when the person thinks it is “nature” or “light.” Scripture says Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light, so deception can look peaceful or beautiful.

Here is a section you can add to your article:

Do All Witches Know They Are Serving Satan?

Not all witches know they are serving Satan. Some do. Some openly identify with Lucifer, Satanism, demons, dark magic, or left-hand-path occultism. These practitioners may knowingly call on dark spirits, make pacts, curse people, or seek power through demonic forces.

However, many witches do not think of themselves as Satanic. Some believe they are honoring nature, the earth, ancestors, goddesses, moon cycles, spirits, or universal energy. Wicca, for example, is often described as a nature-based pagan religion, and many Wiccans reject the idea that they worship Satan. Modern Wicca began in the United Kingdom in the 1940s and 1950s, and many practitioners present it as nature spirituality rather than devil worship.

But biblically, the question is not only, “Do they know they are serving Satan?” The deeper question is, “What is the source of the power?” If the power is not from the Holy Spirit, then it is not from God. Deuteronomy 18:10–12 forbids witchcraft, divination, sorcery, spell casting, mediumship, and consulting the dead. God does not separate “good witchcraft” from “bad witchcraft.” He forbids the practice itself.

What About Haiti and Voodoo?

In Haiti, the better word is usually Vodou, not “voodoo witchcraft.” Haitian Vodou is a complex Afro-Haitian religion that developed from West African spiritual traditions mixed with Catholic elements. Britannica describes Vodou as a traditional Afro-Haitian religion, and the word Vodou means “spirit” or “deity” in the Fon language.

The main religious leaders in Haitian Vodou are often called:

Houngan / Oungan — male priest
Mambo / Manbo — female priestess

Britannica defines an oungan as a male Vodou priest who leads rituals and ceremonies, with a manbo being the female counterpart.

There are also darker sorcery figures sometimes called bokor, who are commonly associated with curses, harmful magic, manipulation, and spiritual control. Not every Vodou priest is considered a bokor. That is an important distinction.

Haiti also has secret-society traditions such as Bizango, which scholars describe as secret societies connected with Haitian Vodou. Some accounts associate these groups with social control, fear, punishment, occult power, and claims of spiritual enforcement.

How High Up Can Witches Go?

In some traditions, witches or occult practitioners have levels or ranks. In Wicca, some groups use degrees such as first degree, second degree, third degree, high priest, and high priestess. In Haitian Vodou, ranks may include servants, initiates, priests, and priestesses. In darker occult systems, there may be hidden rankings based on initiation, secrecy, spirit assignments, bloodline claims, curses, rituals, or demonic covenants.

But from a Christian perspective, no level of witchcraft is higher than Jesus Christ.

A witch may gain influence through demons, rituals, secret knowledge, fear, curses, or familiar spirits, but their power is still limited. Satan is not equal to God. Demons are created beings. They cannot override the authority of Jesus Christ.

Luke 10:19 says Jesus gives His people authority over the power of the enemy. First John 4:4 says, “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”

How Powerful Can a Witch Be?

A witch can be dangerous if they are operating through demonic spirits, curses, divination, manipulation, or familiar spirits. Some may have strong discernment from familiar spirits, meaning they can receive information supernaturally, but it is not from the Holy Spirit. Some can send curses, speak word curses, perform rituals, work through objects, use blood, hair, clothing, pictures, names, or personal items, and attempt to target people spiritually.

But their power is not unlimited.

They cannot defeat the blood of Jesus.
They cannot overpower the Holy Spirit.
They cannot curse what God has blessed unless there is an open door.
They cannot rule over a submitted, repentant believer who is walking in obedience and standing in Christ.

Numbers 23:23 says there is no enchantment against Jacob and no divination against Israel. That principle shows that God’s covenant protection is greater than witchcraft.

Can Witches Fly Over Homes or Cities and Curse Them?

Some witchcraft, Vodou, and folk-magic traditions include beliefs about night travel, astral projection, spirit flight, shape-shifting, or sending spirits over homes, people, churches, and regions. In Haitian folklore, for example, some secret-society fears include claims that people can transform into animals or move at night in supernatural ways.

As Christians, we should be careful with this. We should not spread fear or exaggerate stories we cannot verify. A witch may claim to fly, travel in the spirit, astral project, or send curses over a city. Some may be experiencing demonic deception, trance states, dreams, or occult spirit travel. Others may be using fear to intimidate people.

Can witches curse cities? They can attempt to. They can speak curses, perform rituals, dedicate territory to demons, release witchcraft prayers, bury objects, or send demonic assignments. But Christians are not called to fear them. We are called to pray, repent, close doors, worship Jesus, plead the blood of Jesus, and take authority in the name of Christ.

there can be generational occult families and coven systems where people knowingly serve Satan, Lucifer, demons, or dark spirits. Some people are raised into occult practices and may be trained from childhood in secrecy, rituals, oaths, curses, divination, and spiritual control. From a deliverance perspective, that is much deeper than someone casually using tarot cards or calling themselves a “nature witch.”

But I would write it carefully like this:

Generational Witches and High-Level Occult Involvement

Some witches are not casual practitioners. Some come from generational witchcraft, occult bloodlines, family covens, secret societies, or organized spiritual systems where witchcraft is taught, protected, and passed down. In these cases, the person may knowingly serve Satan, Lucifer, demons, familiar spirits, false gods, or dark spiritual powers.

These practitioners may take vows, oaths, initiations, blood covenants, secrecy agreements, or dedications. Some may be trained in curses, divination, astral projection, spell work, manipulation, spiritual monitoring, and demonic assignments. These would be considered deeper or higher-level occult practitioners than someone experimenting with crystals, astrology, or Wicca out of curiosity.

However, Christians must avoid making accusations against specific people, families, celebrities, churches, or leaders unless there is clear evidence. Scripture warns us to expose darkness, but it also warns us not to bear false witness.

Do Some Covens Practice Sacrifice or Ritual Abuse?

Yes, some occult and criminal groups have used ritual, fear, threats, sexual abuse, animal sacrifice, or violence as part of control and intimidation. Abuse is real, trafficking is real, and children must always be protected.

At the same time, we must be careful with broad claims of widespread “Satanic ritual abuse” networks. Law-enforcement and scholarly reviews of the 1980s–1990s “Satanic Panic” found that many large conspiracy claims were unproven, and investigators were warned to focus on evidence, victims’ safety, and facts rather than assuming every abuse case was part of an organized satanic network. The U.S. Office of Justice Programs’ investigator guide says ritual-abuse investigations should focus on factual evidence and consider alternative explanations rather than assuming a widespread satanic-cult pattern. Britannica also describes the “Satanic panic” as a period when fears of widespread Satanic ritual abuse spread in the 1980s and early 1990s.

The balanced Christian position is: take every abuse allegation seriously, protect children, report crimes, pray, pursue deliverance where needed, but do not build doctrine or public accusations on rumors.

Are These “High-Up” Witches?

If someone is generationally trained, initiated into a coven, knowingly serving demons, taking oaths, performing rituals, abusing victims, or using sacrifice, then yes, they would be considered a deeper-level or higher-level occult practitioner.

A possible hierarchy might look like:

Casual practitioner — experiments with spells, tarot, crystals, astrology, or moon rituals.
Solitary witch — practices privately and regularly.
Coven member — belongs to a group and participates in rituals.
Initiated witch — has taken formal vows, oaths, or dedications.
Priest / priestess / high priestess — leads rituals or trains others.
Generational witch — raised in occult practices or family-line witchcraft.
Dark occult practitioner — knowingly works with demons, curses, blood rituals, or destructive assignments.
Ritual abuser / criminal occultist — uses occult ritual as part of abuse, control, sacrifice, exploitation, or trafficking.

Are Many Elites Luciferians?

Some wealthy, powerful, or influential people may be involved in occultism, Luciferian philosophy, secret societies, New Age spirituality, or anti-Christian beliefs. That does happen. But it is not responsible to say “a lot of elites are Luciferians” unless you are speaking generally and not accusing named people without evidence.

A safer article statement is:

Some people in positions of power are drawn to Luciferian ideas because Luciferianism often appeals to pride, self-exaltation, hidden knowledge, rebellion, power, and the desire to become one’s own god. This is the same ancient temptation from Genesis 3: “you shall be as gods.” Whether they use the name Lucifer or not, any system built on pride, control, rebellion, deception, and godless power reflects the spirit of antichrist.

That is strong, biblical, and safer than naming groups or celebrities.

What About Hollywood and “Selling Their Soul”?

There are celebrities, actors, musicians, and entertainers who openly use occult symbols, witchcraft themes, satanic imagery, demonic costumes, blood imagery, mockery of Christianity, and lyrics about selling their soul. Some may be doing it for shock value, marketing, rebellion, or fame. Some may be spiritually deceived. Some may truly be involved in occult practices.

But we cannot say every actor, actress, or hard rock musician has sold their soul. That would be an unfair accusation.

A balanced way to write it:

Hollywood and the music industry have often glamorized witchcraft, Satanism, rebellion, sexual immorality, violence, death, blood rituals, occult symbols, and demonic imagery. Some entertainers openly admit involvement in witchcraft, occultism, spirit guides, astrology, channeling, or New Age spirituality. Others use satanic or occult imagery for branding, controversy, or attention. Whether the person is truly dedicated to Satan or simply using the imagery, Christians should discern the fruit and guard their eyes, ears, and homes.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:16, “You shall know them by their fruits.”

Should Christians Be Afraid of High-Level Witches?

No. Christians should be alert, but not afraid.

A high-level witch is not higher than Jesus.
A coven is not higher than the blood of Jesus.
A curse is not higher than the cross.
A demon is not higher than the Holy Spirit.
A secret society is not higher than the Kingdom of God.

But Christians must stay clean before the Lord. Open doors matter. Sin matters. Occult objects matter. Agreements matter. Fear matters. Unforgiveness matters. Rebellion matters.

The safest place is obedience, repentance, worship, holiness, and submission to Jesus Christ.

What Should Christians Do?

Do not fear witches.
Do not become obsessed with them.
Do not study witchcraft for curiosity.
Do not retaliate with curses.
Do not “send it back.”
Do not use witchcraft against witchcraft.

Instead:

Submit to God.
Repent of sin.
Renounce occult involvement.
Break agreement with fear.
Cancel word curses in Jesus’ name.
Pray over your home.
Anoint your home if led by the Holy Spirit.
Remove occult objects.
Worship and read Scripture.
Ask God for discernment.
Stand in the authority of Jesus Christ.

Can a Witch Repent and Be Set Free?

Yes. Jesus Christ can save, deliver, cleanse, and restore anyone who repents. Acts 19 shows people who practiced magic coming to Christ, confessing their deeds, and burning their occult books. They did not keep their magic tools “just in case.” They turned fully from darkness to Jesus.

A person coming out of witchcraft should:

1. Repent for all witchcraft, spells, divination, spirit communication, and occult practices.
2. Renounce all covenants, vows, oaths, dedications, and initiations.
3. Destroy occult tools, books, charms, crystals, tarot cards, spell jars, idols, and ritual objects.
4. Break agreement with familiar spirits, spirit guides, ancestors, pagan gods, goddesses, and demons.
5. Confess Jesus Christ as Lord.
6. Receive deliverance prayer.
7. Renew the mind with the Word of God.
8. Stay accountable and walk in obedience.

Deliverance Prayer for Renouncing Witchcraft

Father God, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ. I repent for every involvement with witchcraft, sorcery, spells, divination, magic, occult rituals, familiar spirits, spirit guides, pagan gods, goddesses, and hidden works of darkness. I renounce every spell I have cast, every curse I have spoken, every ritual I have performed, and every spirit I have invited.

I break every covenant, vow, oath, initiation, dedication, blood agreement, soul tie, and generational agreement connected to witchcraft. I renounce white magic, black magic, Wicca, paganism, divination, tarot, astrology, crystals, mediumship, spirit communication, and every false spiritual power.

I declare that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I belong to Him. I am covered by the blood of Jesus. I command every spirit connected to witchcraft, sorcery, divination, familiar spirits, rebellion, control, manipulation, deception, sickness, torment, fear, and bondage to leave me now in the name of Jesus Christ.

Holy Spirit, cleanse me, fill me, heal me, and teach me to walk in obedience to the Father. I close every door I opened to the enemy, and I choose Jesus Christ alone. Amen.

Final Warning and Hope

Witchcraft is not harmless. It is not just fantasy, nature spirituality, or personal empowerment. It is a forbidden spiritual practice that opens doors to demonic influence. Whether someone calls it white magic, black magic, Wicca, folk magic, energy work, or spell work, God’s Word warns His people to have no part in it.

But there is hope. Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of the devil. He forgives, cleanses, delivers, and restores. No witchcraft is stronger than the blood of Jesus. No spell is greater than the cross. No curse is more powerful than the name of Jesus Christ.

If you have been involved in witchcraft or occult practices, repent, renounce it, destroy the objects, close the doors, and get deliverance. Jesus still sets the captives free.
