Fire-Walking: Demonic Power Disguised as Empowerment

🔥 Fire-Walking: A Deceptive Spiritual Practice with Demonic Roots

Fire-walking—the practice of walking barefoot over a bed of burning hot coals without physical harm—is often touted as a mental, emotional, or spiritual breakthrough. But beneath the seemingly miraculous feat lies a dark and deceptive power that Christians must be wary of. This ancient ritual is far from a harmless team-building exercise or self-empowerment tool. It is rooted in spiritual deception and occult power.

🔍 Origins of Fire-Walking

Fire-walking has been practiced for thousands of years in various parts of the world, including Fiji, Polynesia, Greece, India, Sri Lanka, and Japan. In many of these cultures, it was (and still is) tied to religious or spiritual rituals. For example, in Hinduism and certain Polynesian traditions, fire-walking is a religious rite performed to honor gods or to prove one’s faith and connection to divine forces.

In some tribal practices, it was believed that only those protected by the spirits could walk across fire unharmed. This concept connects fire-walking to spiritual entities—not the Holy Spirit, but to other deities and spiritual forces which the Bible clearly identifies as demonic. “The things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.” (1 Corinthians 10:20)

👁️ Is It Divination, Energy, or Something Else?

Some modern coaches, motivational speakers, and New Age practitioners claim that fire-walking is a demonstration of "mind over matter" or "energy alignment." Others say it’s about breaking through fear or achieving personal transformation. But let’s be clear—fire-walking is not a mental trick. It's not just physics or psychological manipulation. There is a spiritual element at work, and it is not from God.

When someone walks on fire and comes out unscathed, they are either being manipulated through sleight of hand, or worse—they are being protected by demonic power, which mimics miracles. Satan often performs counterfeit signs and wonders to deceive. “For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14)

Fire-walking aligns with occult practices and rituals that invoke energy, power, and transformation from sources other than Jesus Christ. This makes it a form of divination or occult manipulation, depending on how it's practiced. Either way, it's opening a door to spiritual forces that are not of God.

📖 Why Fire-Walking Contradicts the Word of God

The Bible is clear that seeking power, transformation, or enlightenment outside of God is sin and dangerous. “There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire, or practices witchcraft… or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer…” (Deuteronomy 18:10). While this verse refers to child sacrifice and other demonic rituals, the key principle is: Do not pass through fire or engage in mystical rites that are outside of God's ordained ways.

Participating in fire-walking ceremonies—even if they’re marketed as “motivational” or “empowering”—is participating in a ritual that draws from the same spiritual well as witchcraft and divination.

Jesus never called us to test ourselves through occult practices or physical feats to prove our faith. Instead, we are called to surrender, obey, and walk in the Spirit. Real transformation comes from God through Christ alone, not fire-walking.

⚠️ Consequences of Involvement

Engaging in fire-walking, especially as part of a spiritual or energy-healing exercise, can have serious consequences. Many people who have participated in these rituals report emotional distress, tormenting thoughts, nightmares, increased anxiety, and a loss of peace. These are not random side effects—they are spiritual consequences.

Opening your heart to a demonic realm, even unknowingly, gives the enemy legal ground to torment your mind and emotions. This is not just symbolic—it’s spiritual reality.

If you’ve participated in fire-walking, it's important to repent, renounce the practice, and seek deliverance in Jesus Christ. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9). We perish from lack of knowledge. 

✝️ The True Power Comes from Jesus

Only Jesus Christ has the power to truly transform a life. “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32) You don’t need fire, rituals, or mystical experiences to overcome fear or grow spiritually. The Holy Spirit is the one who empowers us, comforts us, and transforms us from the inside out.

Methods of discernment:

• 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?

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.”

From Ecstasy to Oppression: How Feri Witchcraft Pulls You from Christ

✨ The Feri Tradition: A Seductive Trap into Spiritual Darkness

The Feri Tradition is a form of modern pagan witchcraft that emerged in the mid-20th century. Unlike other Wiccan or fertility-based traditions, Feri is considered an “ecstatic” practice, focusing heavily on personal spiritual experience, sensual awareness, and sexual mysticism. It embraces all forms of sexuality and includes ritualistic practices designed to awaken energy and deepen spiritual experiences. While it claims to offer empowerment and freedom, the truth is far darker—and dangerous for the soul.

Feri was developed by Victor and Cora Anderson, who were deeply involved in occult, Gnostic, and spiritualist teachings. Their background was steeped in esoteric mysticism, and Victor Anderson even referred to himself as a "shaman." This tradition blends elements from multiple religions, including African diasporic practices, Kabbalah, and tantric philosophies. From its roots, it is spiritually syncretic and opposes the exclusive truth of Christianity.

The Feri Tradition invites practitioners to engage with spirits, gods, and elemental forces, often through visualization, trance work, and energy manipulation. It focuses on personal gnosis—direct spiritual knowledge—as the highest form of truth. The problem? That “truth” comes from sources entirely outside of Jesus Christ.

The Bible warns strongly against seeking knowledge or power apart from God. “Let no one be found among you… who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft” (Deuteronomy 18:10). These are not just neutral activities—they are spiritually dangerous. What the Feri Tradition calls "ecstatic connection" is often communion with demonic forces masquerading as light. “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14)

Christians should not dabble in Feri or any other occult tradition. Even brief involvement can open the door to spiritual oppression, confusion, torment, and fear. Those who have practiced these rituals often report mental and emotional disturbances—nightmares, depression, anxiety, and even voices. These aren’t just psychological phenomena; they are spiritual consequences.

The sensual emphasis of Feri is also deeply concerning. It encourages sexual mysticism without moral boundaries, which completely contradicts God’s design for sexuality in Scripture. “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body...” (1 Corinthians 6:18). Sensual experiences become gateways to spiritual deception, and over time, participants can become numb to conviction and resistant to the truth of the Gospel.

One of the subtle but powerful dangers of Feri is that it offers a sense of personal power and liberation. This appeal to the flesh is what makes it so seductive. People are drawn to the idea of being their own gods—of crafting their own truths. But in doing so, they reject the authority of Jesus Christ. Feri practitioners are often encouraged to deconstruct religious boundaries and embrace spiritual fluidity, which is directly opposed to Christ’s declaration, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

Involvement in Feri can gradually pull someone away from Jesus. At first, it may seem like harmless spiritual exploration. Over time, however, it subtly replaces God’s Word with personal experience and sensual ecstasy. A person’s heart grows cold to the Gospel, their mind becomes darkened, and spiritual bondage can take hold.

If you've dabbled in the Feri Tradition or any New Age spiritual practice, know there is hope and freedom in Jesus Christ. “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36) Repent, renounce the practice, and ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse your heart, soul, and home. Remove any objects, books, or symbols connected to it. God is faithful to forgive and restore.

Ultimately, the Feri Tradition is not just another harmless spiritual path—it is a gateway to spiritual bondage. Christians must discern the spirits and reject anything that draws them away from the truth of God's Word. “Test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1)

Why Christians Must Avoid Erhard Seminar Training and The Forum

The Hidden Dangers of EST and The Forum: A Christian’s Guide to Discernment

The pursuit of self-betterment is a deeply ingrained desire in human nature. New Age philosophies have capitalized on this longing in recent decades, merging spirituality with psychology to form seductive self-help systems. One such system is Erhard Seminar Training (EST) and its evolution, The Forum—programs that claim to unlock personal potential but often lead followers into spiritual deception.

Founded by Werner Erhard (born John Paul Rosenberg) in the early 1970s, EST was marketed as a life-altering experience, guiding participants toward personal transformation through intense, confrontational sessions. The Forum (now under the brand Landmark Forum) replaced EST in the 1980s, continuing Erhard’s legacy under new leadership and packaging. But behind the promises of clarity, purpose, and personal power lies a dangerous blend of Eastern mysticism, New Age philosophy, and humanistic self-idolatry.

---

How Does It Work?

EST and The Forum use long, exhausting seminars that often span several days. Participants are

subjected to rigid rules—no watches, limited bathroom breaks, no talking unless prompted. The process is emotionally intense, stripping down personal identity and belief systems to “rebuild” a new sense of self based on personal responsibility and inner power.

The core idea is that “there is no reality—only what you make of it.” This principle rejects objective truth and moral absolutes. The participant becomes their own authority, capable of creating meaning without external guidance—even from God.

These methods create emotional upheaval. Participants often experience breakdowns, tears, and extreme mental vulnerability—all touted as progress. This breakdown and rebuilding process subtly rewires one’s worldview. In effect, the program becomes a religious experience disguised as personal development.

---

Why Christians Should Not Dabble in EST or The Forum

From a biblical standpoint, these programs are deeply incompatible with the Gospel. EST teaches that truth is subjective, that you are your own god, and that transformation comes from within—not through repentance, faith, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Christianity teaches denial of self (Luke 9:23), not glorification of the self. It emphasizes that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life—not subjective perception or inner enlightenment.

Participating in these programs can open the door to:

• Mental torment through identity confusion

• Emotional exhaustion from manipulative tactics

• Spiritual deception by accepting counterfeit beliefs

• Separation from Christ due to idolatry of self and false spirituality

---

Could It Open the Door to More Torment?

Yes. Many who leave EST or The Forum report ongoing confusion, emotional distress, and feelings of spiritual emptiness. The seminars break down mental boundaries and replace them with unstable philosophies that can lead to anxiety, narcissism, or despair.

Participants are told that all answers lie within them. But when crises arise, they are left without true spiritual anchoring. They turn inward instead of turning to Christ, and that inward search can spiral into torment when the answers never come.

Moreover, these teachings create a false sense of enlightenment. Those who embrace them may become hostile to biblical truth, mocking faith in Christ as “limiting” or “naïve.” This delusion is exactly the kind of deception warned about in 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11.

---

Who is Behind It and What Religion Were They Into?

Werner Erhard, the founder, was influenced by Zen Buddhism, Scientology, and New Thought metaphysics—all religions and philosophies that are at odds with the Christian faith. His spiritual journey was rooted in Eastern mysticism, the idea of transcending the ego to reach a god-like state. These worldviews deny sin, the need for a Savior, and the sovereignty of God.

The structure of EST closely resembles cult-like behavior, emphasizing total submission to the program’s leaders and discouraging independent thought or criticism. It demands loyalty and often alienates participants from dissenting family or friends—hallmarks of spiritual abuse.

---

A Final Call to Discernment

Christians must test every spirit and every teaching (1 John 4:1). EST and The Forum may wear the mask of personal development, but underneath lies a counterfeit gospel. One that exalts man, denies the need for repentance, and leads seekers away from the only One who can truly transform them—Jesus Christ.

If you or someone you know has been involved in EST or The Forum, there is hope. Repentance, renouncing the false beliefs, and seeking deliverance and healing in Christ can bring restoration. God is merciful and delivers those who cry out to Him in truth.

Methods of discernment:

• 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?

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.”

Exposing the Spirit Behind Enchantment

 Exposing the Spirit Behind Enchantment: A Call for Discernment Among Believers

The Danger of Enchanters: Why Christians Must Steer Clear of This Deceptive Practice

In today’s spiritually curious culture, the rise of New Age practices like enchantment is no coincidence. The Bible warns repeatedly about sorcerers, magicians, and those who practice divination. Yet, enchanters—those who use spells, words, or objects to manipulate reality or perception—are becoming popular again through modern “harmless” New Age practices. Behind their soft voices, spiritual jargon, and promises of light lies a dark and dangerous path that leads believers away from the truth of Jesus Christ.

What is an Enchanter and How Does It Work?

An enchanter is essentially a sorcerer or magician—someone who manipulates unseen spiritual forces to

achieve a certain result, whether it be healing, insight, emotional balance, or influencing others. While the word “enchant” may sound beautiful or whimsical, its biblical roots are anything but. Enchantment, in Scripture, is tied to sorcery, rebellion, and communication with familiar spirits.

Modern enchanters may not look like the sorcerers of ancient times, but the function is the same. Through spells, rituals, mantras, or energy manipulation, they invoke spiritual forces that are not of God. What may begin as curiosity or a search for peace can quickly turn into a web of deception.

Why Christians Must Not Dabble in Enchantment

The first and most urgent reason is that enchantment is strictly forbidden by God. In Deuteronomy 18:10-12, God clearly lists sorcery, divination, and enchantments as detestable. These practices were common among pagan nations and were used to seek power or knowledge apart from God.

When a Christian participates in enchantment, they are unknowingly opening themselves up to spiritual defilement and deception. Many who dabble in these practices begin to experience emotional and mental torment—anxiety, depression, confusion, spiritual oppression, and even physical ailments.

The enemy’s goal through enchantment is to lure the believer away from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. It’s not just about playing with spells or energies—it’s about establishing communion with spirits that counterfeit the Holy Spirit. This is spiritual adultery.

Could It Open the Door to More Torment?

Absolutely. Many former New Age practitioners testify that what began as peace and clarity slowly morphed into torment, paranoia, fear, and darkness. That is because enchantment is not neutral—it draws from demonic sources. These spirits do not offer gifts without strings attached.

Demonic torment often increases when believers try to return to Christ after having opened themselves up to sorcery. Deliverance is possible, but it often comes after much struggle, repentance, and inner healing. What seemed like light becomes revealed as a dark snare that bound the soul.

Who is Responsible for This Movement?

The roots of enchantment in the modern New Age movement can often be traced back to ancient pagan religions, Hindu mysticism, and even certain forms of occult Judaism such as Kabbalah. Enchantment has been repackaged for the Western world through spiritual influencers, New Age teachers, and even therapists who blend psychology with mysticism.

This resurgence is ultimately inspired by the enemy of our souls, Satan himself. He masquerades as an angel of light and uses these spiritual traps to blind people from the truth of the Gospel. His goal is always to keep people from salvation in Christ and to separate believers from their first love.

A Call to Discernment

Christians must return to biblical discernment. Just because something brings temporary relief or feels peaceful does not mean it’s from God. Enchantment is rebellion dressed in light. It is a counterfeit spirituality that replaces trust in Christ with manipulation of unseen forces.

We are called not to seek spiritual power, healing, or insight through forbidden channels, but to trust in Jesus Christ alone. The Holy Spirit is our comforter, counselor, and guide—not spirit guides, spells, or rituals.

If you’ve dabbled in enchantment, repent, renounce the practices, and seek deliverance. God is merciful and ready to heal those who turn back to Him.

Methods of discernment:

• 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?

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.

Electromagnetic Therapy: Science or Spiritually Risky Pseudoscience?

The Spiritual Dangers of Electromagnetic Therapy same as Quantum Healing: A Christian Perspective

Electromagnetic therapy, or quantum therapy, is a growing trend in alternative medicine that claims to heal the body by correcting imbalances in its electromagnetic frequencies. Though marketed as a scientifically advanced solution for a variety of ailments, this modality is deeply rooted in New Age principles and quantum mysticism, raising significant concerns for Bible-believing Christians.

What Is Electromagnetic Therapy?

Electromagnetic therapy involves using various devices that emit low-voltage electricity, magnetic fields, radio waves, or other electromagnetic energy to purportedly balance the body's energy fields. These devices claim to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, heal tissue, and more. Proponents often cite quantum physics as the scientific foundation for these claims. However, many assertions lack rigorous scientific validation and are often classified as pseudoscience.

Pseudoscience, by definition, includes claims that cannot be reliably tested, fail to adhere to valid scientific methods, or lack empirical evidence. This is the case with many electromagnetic therapy devices and practices, which often operate in a spiritual grey area that makes them spiritually hazardous.

The Spiritual Foundation of Electromagnetic Therapy

While some users turn to electromagnetic therapy purely for physical relief, it is essential to understand

its origins and spiritual underpinnings. Much of its development is rooted in New Age philosophy, which often includes pantheism (the belief that God is in everything), energy healing, and the manipulation of invisible forces. The underlying principle is that the human body is controlled by energy fields, and by adjusting or correcting these fields, one can attain optimal health.

This ideology directly contradicts a Christian worldview, where healing comes from God alone—not from impersonal energies or vibrations. The Bible never supports or promotes the manipulation of unseen forces as a method of healing. Instead, Scripture points us to faith, prayer, obedience, and God’s sovereign will.

Biblical Warnings Against Energy Manipulation

The Bible is clear about the dangers of engaging with spiritual practices outside of God’s design. Practices that alter consciousness, manipulate unseen forces, or mimic occult rituals are explicitly forbidden:

• Leviticus 19:31: "Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God."

• Deuteronomy 18:10-12: "There shall not be found among you anyone... that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch."

• 1 Thessalonians 5:22: "Abstain from all appearance of evil."

When Christians engage in energy-based therapies that stem from pagan or New Age origins, they risk opening spiritual doors to demonic influences. Even if the practice seems harmless or beneficial, participating in spiritually rooted pseudoscience can lead to torment, confusion, and a drift away from the solid foundation of Christ.

How Electromagnetic Therapy Works

Electromagnetic therapy often employs devices that emit frequencies believed to interact with the body's biofield or energy field. While some legitimate medical uses of electromagnetic energy exist—such as MRI machines or TENS units—these are clearly defined and regulated. Electromagnetic therapy as a holistic treatment, however, often involves untested claims, dubious healing machines, and mystical language about balancing energies.

Devices like the Rife Machine, Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy, and various frequency generators are marketed for pain relief, detoxification, and emotional wellness. These devices often use terms like “quantum healing,” “resonance therapy,” or “vibrational medicine,” all of which draw from non-Christian worldviews.

Consequences for Christians

Engaging with electromagnetic therapy isn’t just a matter of personal health—it’s a spiritual decision with potentially serious consequences:

1. Spiritual Confusion – Blending Christian beliefs with New Age practices creates spiritual dissonance. What begins as a search for physical healing may lead to doctrinal compromise.

2. Torment and Bondage – Participants in spiritually compromised practices often experience mental and emotional torment, including fear, anxiety, nightmares, or spiritual oppression.

3. Pulling Away from Christ – Trust in alternative energies or frequencies can subtly erode dependence on God, shifting focus to self-empowerment or creation instead of the Creator.

4. Open Doors to the Occult – Engaging in energy manipulation opens one’s life to demonic intrusion, especially when the practices are cloaked in pseudoscientific jargon but rooted in occult principles.

5. Seeking healing through electromagnetic or energy-based therapy is bypassing God’s design and turning to created things for help—placing trust in the creation rather than the Creator.”
   Romans 1:25 says, “They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised.”

Who Started It and What Did They Believe?

Many electromagnetic therapy systems and quantum healing ideas were developed by individuals who were either spiritually eclectic or overtly involved in New Age and occult practices. For instance, Royal Raymond Rife, the creator of the Rife Machine, held controversial and mystical views about frequencies and healing. Similarly, proponents of Quantum Touch, Reiki, and other energy-based modalities often blend Eastern religions, spiritualism, and even channeling of spirits.

These practitioners were not guided by Christian principles. Instead, they viewed healing as a force that can be manipulated by human intention, vibration, and alignment with the universe—philosophies fundamentally opposed to Scripture.

What Should Christians Do Instead?

• Seek God First – James 5:14 encourages believers to call for the elders of the church to pray over the sick, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord.

• Guard Your Heart and Mind – Proverbs 4:23 says, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."

• Pursue Deliverance and Healing in Christ – At Touch of God International Ministries, we offer personal one-on-one healing and deliverance sessions as well as a FREE Online Deliverance Webinar where participants can be ministered to in a safe, biblically sound environment.

• Join Us Weekly – We host short teachings and ministry prayer on Tuesday nights at 10:00 PM CST inside our private Facebook group. You don’t have to navigate your spiritual walk alone.

Conclusion

Electromagnetic therapy may seem like a high-tech answer to your health concerns, but its roots and practices are spiritually dangerous for Christians. Any healing that draws from New Age philosophy or alters your spiritual alignment apart from Christ puts you at risk. Instead, rely on God’s power, seek deliverance, and walk in the freedom and healing Jesus offers.

Methods of discernment:

• 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?

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.”

 The Spiritual Dangers Behind Earth Mysteries

Earth Mysteries: A Deceptive Path That Leads Away from Christ

In our search for meaning, healing, and spiritual connection, many are drawn toward what’s often called “Earth Mysteries.” This broad New Age modality covers a wide range of pseudoscientific, spiritual, and quasi-religious ideas, including ley lines, sacred geometry, megalithic structures, and earth energies. Promoted as tools for enlightenment and connection to the planet, these practices are becoming increasingly popular among those seeking spiritual experiences outside traditional religion. But what seems innocent—or even helpful—on the surface may have dangerous consequences for the Christian believer.

---

What Are Earth Mysteries?

The term “Earth Mysteries” refers to beliefs and practices that assign spiritual or mystical significance to geographical locations and natural phenomena. This includes the idea that certain places—like Stonehenge, the Great Pyramids, or specific mountain ranges—contain “energy points” or “vortexes” that offer healing or insight. Practitioners may meditate at these sites, perform rituals, or attempt to align their lives with supposed earth-based spiritual energies.

Often rooted in ancient pagan practices and revived through modern New Age movements, these ideas incorporate astrology, divination, nature worship, and sometimes shamanism. Though presented as cultural appreciation or cosmic wisdom, they are spiritual counterfeits that pull people away from the truth of God’s Word.

---

How Does It Work?

Earth Mysteries “work” by tapping into a blend of spiritual deception and psychological suggestion. People report feelings of peace or connection after engaging with these ideas or visiting “sacred sites,” but these experiences are not necessarily benign. When one opens their heart to unknown spiritual forces without discernment or submission to God, they are stepping into spiritual realms not governed by the Holy Spirit, but often by demonic powers posing as light (2 Corinthians 11:14).

New Age practices often produce results—emotional highs, visions, feelings of transcendence—not because they are holy, but because they stir the soul while bypassing the spirit submitted to Christ. These “results” can become a trap, keeping people dependent on mystical experiences instead of on God's truth.

---

Why Christians Should Not Engage in Earth Mysteries

Christians are called to worship the Creator, not the creation (Romans 1:25). Earth Mysteries invert this order, elevating the Earth or its energies to a place of spiritual authority. This is a form of idolatry, even if unintentional. Participation in such practices opens doors to spiritual deception and bondage, often masked as healing or wisdom.

Many believers who have dabbled in these practices report consequences: anxiety, confusion, intrusive thoughts, sleep paralysis, and even emotional torment. Why? Because engaging in Earth Mysteries can invite demonic influence under the guise of spirituality. These practices create spiritual openings—legal ground—for the enemy to torment, confuse, or lead a person astray.

God warns us throughout Scripture not to mix our faith with occult or pagan practices. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 clearly condemns divination, sorcery, interpreting omens, and consulting with spirits. Earth Mysteries often incorporate these very elements.

---

The Consequences of Compromise

When Christians dabble in New Age spirituality, including Earth Mysteries, the result is often a drifting away from intimacy with Christ. What begins as curiosity or spiritual exploration can become a gateway to oppression and emotional instability. Feelings of peace may be fleeting and followed by torment. What was marketed as “awakening” turns into spiritual confusion, depression, or fear.

Satan doesn’t mind if people feel spiritual—as long as they are not grounded in Jesus Christ. Earth Mysteries are deceptive because they mimic spiritual truth while keeping people bound in darkness.

---

Real Freedom Comes Through Christ

True spiritual freedom and healing come through Jesus Christ alone. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). No earthly power, ancient ritual, or mystical practice can replace the power of the Holy Spirit and the authority of God's Word. If you’ve been involved in Earth Mysteries or other New Age practices, there is hope. Repent, renounce the involvement, and turn fully back to Christ. His grace is sufficient, and His deliverance is real.

Gary Gygax and the Pagan Roots of D&D

 Gary Gygax and the Pagan Roots of D&D: What Christians Must Know

Who Was Gary Gygax and What Did He Believe?

Gary Gygax was raised in a Christian home and reportedly attended a Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall in his early years, though his faith commitment later in life is debated. He never promoted Christianity in his works, nor did he create D&D to glorify the God of the Bible. Instead, he constructed entire pantheons of fantasy gods, many of whom mirrored ancient pagan deities.

Gygax drew heavily from polytheistic and occult sources—drawing inspiration from Norse mythology, ancient Egypt, Sumerian gods, and fictional works by H.P. Lovecraft and others. These sources are laced with spiritual darkness, demonic imagery, and philosophies that contradict the Gospel.

Though Gygax claimed later in life to be a Christian (non-denominational), the content he authored promotes magic, sorcery, necromancy, and occult exploration, all condemned in Scripture (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). His private faith did not translate into any restraint in his creative output, which became deeply rooted in mysticism and paganism.

What About Dave Arneson?

Dave Arneson, the co-creator of D&D, was also raised in a Christian environment. He later converted to born-again Christianity and became critical of how dark and occultic the D&D franchise became, especially after Gygax lost creative control in the 1980s. Arneson distanced himself from the franchise’s evolution, though by then, the core foundation had already been laid.

The Pantheon of Gods in Dungeons & Dragons

One of the most disturbing elements of D&D is the inclusion of detailed pantheons of gods, many of whom are based on real-world pagan religions. Players are often encouraged to choose a god or goddess for their character to worship or gain magical powers from—an idea that directly violates the First Commandment: “You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3)

These fictional deities often resemble demonic entities:

• Lolth, the spider queen, a chaotic evil goddess of deceit.

• Vecna, a powerful undead sorcerer and god of secrets.

• Tiamat, a dragon goddess inspired by Babylonian mythology.

Even worse, some D&D materials have included real magical rituals and sigils, adapted or taken directly from occult texts, which former occultists have confirmed align with genuine witchcraft practices.

How Dungeons & Dragons Influences the Mind and Spirit

D&D may seem like just a game, but it is more than pretend. It requires players to assume a character, make moral decisions in that character's name, and sometimes engage in role-playing that includes spell casting, necromancy, or communication with spirits. When players take on roles of wizards, warlocks, or sorcerers and repeatedly simulate dark spiritual practices, they can become spiritually desensitized or even demonically influenced.

This practice of imagination mixed with spiritual darkness is a form of gateway exposure, which can:

• Open the mind to demonic influence.

• Normalize the occult and sorcery.

• Confuse moral boundaries.

• Pull hearts away from Christ toward fantasy-based spirituality.

Scripture is clear: “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” (1 Thessalonians 5:22) and “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11)

Why This Is Dangerous for Christians

The danger isn’t just the content—it’s the gateway effect. D&D has led many into deeper exploration of the occult, spiritualism, and moral relativism. Some players admit to starting with fantasy spell books and ending up practicing real witchcraft. Others report experiencing nightmares, spiritual oppression, or anxiety linked to their gameplay.

Christian parents and youth should take this seriously. While it may seem like innocent fantasy, D&D creates a fantasy world where evil is playable, glorified, and rewarded. That world is often more appealing than the real one—and dangerously addictive.

Conclusion: Discerning the Spirit Behind the Game

The Apostle Paul warns in 1 Corinthians 10:20, “The sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.”

Dungeons & Dragons, by its design and origin, introduces players to a realm where false gods, sorcery, and demonic symbolism are normalized. Gary Gygax’s legacy may be cultural innovation, but for Christians, it represents a spiritual counterfeit that can pull hearts and minds away from the Lord.
