Witchcraft, Sorcery, and the Western Occult – A Biblical Warning

 

Witchcraft, Sorcery, and the Western Occult – A Biblical Warning

Witchcraft, Sorcery, and the Western Occult – A Biblical Warning

Western Occult: Ancient Darkness in Modern Disguise

The term Western occult refers to spiritual practices, secret traditions, and mystical teachings that developed primarily in Europe and the Americas. It includes witchcraft, ceremonial magic, tarot, astrology, alchemy, Wicca, druidism, satanism, spirit channeling, and New Age occult hybrids. These systems promise power, wisdom, or spiritual awakening outside of God’s will.

What makes the Western occult especially deceptive is that it often blends pagan religion, ancient mystery rites, and counterfeit “Christian” symbolism to lure people in. But the Bible warns:

“Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” — Ephesians 5:11


Spirituality of the Western Occult

At its core, the Western occult is about accessing hidden knowledge and supernatural power apart from the God of the Bible. Practitioners believe in human potential to control spiritual forces through rituals, symbols, and willpower.

This spirituality often rejects Jesus Christ as the only way to God (John 14:6) and instead teaches that divinity lies within the self or the universe.


Culture and Origins

The Western occult draws from:

  • Ancient European paganism – worship of nature, seasonal festivals, and elemental spirits.

  • Greco-Roman mystery religions – secret rites dedicated to gods like Hermes, Isis, and Dionysus.

  • Medieval ceremonial magic – grimoires, alchemy, and astrology practiced alongside Catholic mysticism.

  • 19th–20th century occult revival – movements like Theosophy, Golden Dawn, and modern Wicca.


Beliefs of the Western Occult

Common beliefs include:

  • All religions hold pieces of truth.

  • Magic can influence events or people’s lives.

  • Spirit guides, ascended masters, or nature spirits can be contacted for help.

  • Reincarnation and karma explain human suffering.

  • Humans can evolve into god-like beings through secret knowledge.


God or Gods of the Western Occult

While some branches claim to honor a single “universal source,” most revere pagan gods, goddesses, planetary spirits, or the elements. Even in Wicca’s “God and Goddess” worship, the spiritual beings behind these deities are demons (Deuteronomy 32:17, 1 Corinthians 10:20). In outright satanism, worship is given to Lucifer as the “light-bearer,” directly opposing God’s kingdom.


Purpose of the Modality and Why It’s Used

The Western occult is used to:

  • Gain hidden knowledge (gnosis)

  • Influence outcomes (spell casting, magic rituals)

  • Heal or harm through supernatural power

  • Predict the future through divination (tarot, astrology, scrying)

  • Achieve personal transformation and power

Its ultimate purpose is to draw people away from God and into covenant with unclean spirits.


Is It Divination?

Yes—many Western occult practices fall under divination as condemned in Deuteronomy 18:10–12, including astrology, pendulum use, tarot, and scrying. Even “white magic” or “healing magic” relies on demonic empowerment, not the Holy Spirit.


Demonic Manifestations for Christians

When believers engage in the Western occult—or if they visit a practitioner or have ancestors who did—they can experience:

  • Sleep paralysis, night terrors, or visitations by shadow figures

  • Uncontrollable anger, depression, or fear

  • Repetitive bad luck or financial loss

  • Sudden illnesses without medical explanation

  • Voices or visions offering guidance

  • Difficulty praying, reading Scripture, or worshiping

These are not coincidences—they are the manifestations of demonic oppression that come from opening spiritual gates to darkness.


Scriptures That Condemn the Occult

  • Leviticus 19:31 – “Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists.”

  • Deuteronomy 18:10–12 – Condemns divination, sorcery, and spirit contact.

  • Acts 19:19 – Believers burned their occult books after coming to Christ.

  • Galatians 5:19–21 – Lists sorcery among the works of the flesh.

  • Revelation 21:8 – Sorcerers will have their part in the lake of fire.


If Your Ancestors Practiced the Western Occult

The sins of the forefathers can give the enemy legal rights to operate in your life (Exodus 20:5). Generational involvement in witchcraft, freemasonry, ceremonial magic, or occult societies can result in inherited curses, afflictions, and spiritual blockages until renounced.


Steps to Deliverance

  1. Recognize – Identify occult involvement in your life or family.

  2. Repent – Confess and turn away from all occult practices.

  3. Renounce – Speak aloud rejecting every spirit, god, and belief tied to the occult.

  4. Break Generational Curses – Cancel the enemy’s rights through Jesus’ blood.

  5. Command the Spirits to Leave – In Jesus’ name, cast out every unclean spirit (Mark 16:17).

  6. Fill Your Life with God’s Word – Walk daily in obedience to Christ.


Prayer of Freedom

Father, I confess and repent of any involvement with the Western occult—witchcraft, divination, ritual magic, or any practice seeking power apart from You. I renounce all gods, spirits, and covenants tied to these practices. I break every generational curse and cancel Satan’s legal rights over my life by the blood of Jesus Christ. I command every unclean spirit to leave me now and never return. Holy Spirit, fill me with Your truth, peace, and power. Amen.


The Western occult is not just “old superstition” or “harmless fun.” It is a system of spiritual rebellion designed to connect people to demonic power. The only safe path to true wisdom, freedom, and power is through a relationship with Jesus Christ, who destroys the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).

From Animism to Demons – The Hidden Dangers of Shamanic Practices



Shamanism: An Ancient Spirit Path That Leads Away from God

Shamanism is one of the oldest spiritual systems in the world, rooted in animism—the belief that spirits inhabit everything in nature: rocks, rivers, animals, trees, and even weather patterns. Across centuries and continents, tribal peoples have looked to shamans—spiritual mediators—who claim to connect with the spirit realm for guidance, healing, or protection.

While shamanism is experiencing a revival in neo-shamanistic movements today, the Bible makes it clear that these practices are not from God. They are counterfeits, opening the door to demonic influence.

“For the word of God is living and active… discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” — Hebrews 4:12


Cultural Origins of Shamanism

Shamanism can be traced to ancient tribal cultures in Siberia, Mongolia, the Americas, Africa, and parts of Southeast Asia. While traditions vary, the role of the shaman is remarkably similar worldwide: to act as an intermediary between the visible world and the unseen realm.

This often involves:

  • Entering trances through drumming, chanting, or mind-altering substances.

  • Spirit journeys to “other worlds” to retrieve information.

  • Healing rituals using talismans, charms, or animal sacrifices.

  • Calling on ancestor spirits for help or wisdom.


Beliefs of Shamanism

Shamans believe:

  • The world is filled with good and bad spirits.

  • Illness or misfortune comes from spiritual imbalance.

  • The shaman can restore harmony through ritual.

  • Spirits of animals, plants, or ancestors can guide and protect humans.

While these beliefs sound culturally rich, spiritually they replace God’s truth with spiritism (communication with the dead and demons).


Who Is Their God or gods?

Shamanism does not typically worship the God of the Bible. Instead, it focuses on spirit beings—sometimes seen as deities, sometimes as forces of nature. These “gods” may include:

  • Nature spirits (sun, moon, rivers)

  • Animal totems believed to hold supernatural power

  • Ancestor spirits thought to advise the living

  • Trickster spirits who must be appeased

Scripture warns that behind such spirits are demons:

“They sacrificed to demons, not to God…” — Deuteronomy 32:17
“The things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God…” — 1 Corinthians 10:20


Purpose of Shamanism

Shamanism seeks to:

  • Heal physical and emotional illness through spirit help

  • Protect communities from curses or spiritual attack

  • Predict the future or find lost objects

  • Bring blessings for hunting, farming, or warfare

The real spiritual purpose, however, is to bypass the authority of God and seek supernatural power elsewhere.


Why People Get Involved

People may turn to shamanism for:

  • Desperate need for healing when doctors cannot help

  • Curiosity about the “mystical” or “ancient wisdom”

  • A desire for connection with nature or ancestors

  • Spiritual hunger without knowledge of Jesus Christ

But seeking spiritual help from any source other than the Lord opens a legal doorway for demonic oppression.


Is Shamanism Divination?

Yes—many of its practices (spirit journeys, interpreting omens, seeking guidance from spirits) fall directly under divination, which God calls detestable (Deuteronomy 18:10–12).


Demonic Manifestations for Christians

When believers engage in shamanism—or when their ancestors did—they may experience:

  • Nightmares and spirit visitations

  • Fear of certain animals or objects

  • Hearing voices during prayer

  • Spiritual heaviness or inability to worship

  • Chronic illness or accidents

  • Generational cycles of poverty or violence

These are signs of spiritual bondage caused by agreements with unclean spirits.


Scriptures Against Shamanism and Spiritism

  • Leviticus 19:31 – “Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists.”

  • Deuteronomy 18:10–12 – God condemns divination, witchcraft, and necromancy.

  • Isaiah 8:19 – “Should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?”

  • Acts 19:19 – Believers destroyed their occult items after coming to Christ.


If Your Ancestors Practiced Shamanism

Generational involvement in shamanism can create spiritual inheritance rights for demons. Exodus 20:5 speaks of the sins of the fathers affecting future generations. These must be renounced and broken through the authority of Jesus Christ.


Steps to Freedom

  1. Confess any involvement with shamanism.

  2. Renounce all spirits and gods connected to it.

  3. Break all generational covenants in Jesus’ name.

  4. Command every unclean spirit to leave (Mark 16:17).

  5. Fill your life with God’s Word and fellowship with believers.


Prayer of Renunciation

Father, I confess that I or my ancestors have sought guidance or healing from shamans or spirits. I renounce every covenant, ritual, or talisman connected to shamanism. I break every generational curse and command all unclean spirits to leave me now in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, fill me with Your power, truth, and peace. Amen.


Shamanism may appear as harmless cultural tradition or “natural spirituality,” but in reality it is a counterfeit path that leads to bondage. The only true Mediator between God and man is Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 2:5), and the only true healing and guidance come from the Holy Spirit.

Alchemy Exposed: The Occult Lie Behind the Philosopher’s Stone

 

Alchemy Exposed: The Occult Lie Behind the Philosopher’s Stone

Alchemy Exposed: The Occult Lie Behind the Philosopher’s Stone


Alchemy: The Ancient Occult Science Christians Must Reject

Alchemy has been romanticized in books, movies, and even “history lessons” as a mysterious medieval science — turning base metals into gold and discovering the elixir of life. But behind its glittering promises lies a dangerous occult practice rooted in pagan worship, false gods, and demonic power.

What many Christians don’t realize is that alchemy is not just “old chemistry.” It is a spiritual system that directly opposes the Word of God. Involvement with alchemy — whether personally, through ancestors, or by receiving from someone who practices it — can open spiritual doors to demonic oppression.


Where Did Alchemy Come From?

Historically, alchemy can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where it was intertwined with the worship of gods like Thoth (god of magic and wisdom) and Hermes Trismegistus (a mystical figure combining Greek and Egyptian deities). It later spread to BabylonChinaIndia, and the Islamic world, eventually reaching medieval Europe.

The goal was never purely scientific — it was deeply mystical. Ancient alchemists believed matter and spirit were connected, and by manipulating substances, they could transform their own spiritual state, become godlike, and even live forever.


The Beliefs Behind Alchemy

The central object of alchemy was the Philosopher’s Stone — believed to have the power to turn lead into gold and produce the elixir of life, granting immortality.

These beliefs were rooted in:

  • Pantheism — the idea that “god” is in everything.

  • Gnosticism — secret knowledge brings salvation.

  • Hermeticism — man can become divine through mystical transformation.

But Scripture tells us plainly:

“It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” (Hebrews 9:27)
There is no elixir, no potion, and no stone that can give eternal life — only Jesus Christ (John 14:6).


The Purpose of Alchemy and Why People Used It

While some pursued alchemy for wealth (gold), many were lured by its promise of spiritual transformation and immortality. Others used it for divination — seeking visions, knowledge of the future, and contact with “spirit guides.”

This is the same sin God condemns in Deuteronomy 18:10–12:

“There shall not be found among you… one who uses divination… or a medium or a necromancer… For whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord.”

By engaging in alchemy, people were not just “experimenting with metals” — they were invoking spiritual forces outside of God.


Is Alchemy Divination?

Yes. Although disguised as a proto-science, alchemy’s rituals and symbols were tools of spiritual manipulation, often invoking spirits for guidance. These were not the Holy Spirit, but demonic entities masquerading as “enlightened beings.”

Paul warns in 2 Corinthians 11:14:

“Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.”


Demonic Manifestations Linked to Alchemy

When someone practices alchemy — or if ancestors were deeply involved — the following spiritual manifestations can occur:

  • Chronic illness or strange ailments with no medical explanation.

  • Mental torment, confusion, or obsession with mystical knowledge.

  • Generational poverty or financial instability (curses tied to gold-seeking greed).

  • Nightmares or sleep paralysis involving ancient symbols, stones, or potions.

  • Blockages in spiritual growth, inability to connect with God in prayer.

These are not random — they are fruits of opening a spiritual gate to the enemy.


Why Christians Must Renounce All Links to Alchemy

Even if you have never studied alchemy yourself, generational involvement can pass down curses (Exodus 20:5). Satan does not care whether you knowingly agreed to his schemes — if there’s a legal right through your bloodline, he will exploit it.

Deliverance comes when you:

  1. Recognize the sin and its roots.

  2. Repent before God for all personal and ancestral involvement.

  3. Renounce every spirit and curse connected to it.

  4. Remove all occult books, symbols, or objects.

  5. Resist future temptation by standing on God’s Word.


Prayer of Renunciation

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I repent for all involvement in alchemy by myself or my ancestors. I renounce the Philosopher’s Stone, the elixir of life, and every false god or spirit connected to these practices. I break every curse, covenant, and spirit of divination in Jesus’ name. I declare that my eternal life is only in Christ, and I close every door to the enemy, sealed by the blood of Jesus. Amen.


Final Warning

Alchemy’s ancient promise of turning lead into gold is just another version of Satan’s oldest lie: “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). Do not be deceived — the only transformation worth having is being born again in Christ.

Under Witchcraft or Demonic Attacks?

Under Witchcraft or Demonic Attacks?

Under Witchcraft or Demonic Attacks?


Have you or your family experienced tormenting dreams, confusion, mental fog, recurring sickness, or an invisible heaviness in your home or mind? You may be under spiritual attack—not by accident, but because a door was opened. That door may have been through personal involvement in the occult, New Age practices, or even through your ancestors.

πŸ”₯ What Is the Occult and What Does "Occult" Really Mean?

What is the Occult? The word "occult" comes from the Latin occultus, meaning hidden, secret, or concealed. But biblically, we can trace similar meanings in Greek and Hebrew that show how God views such hidden knowledge and forbidden practices.

  • Greek: The word pharmakeia (φαρμακΡία) is used in Galatians 5:19–21 to describe witchcraft or sorcery. It refers not only to drug use but to magical arts and spellcasting.

  • Hebrew: The word qesem (Χ§ֶΧ‘ֶם) means divination—a forbidden practice of seeking supernatural knowledge outside of God (Deuteronomy 18:10).

Anything that seeks spiritual power or hidden knowledge apart from the Holy Spirit is considered occultic, even if it appears good or peaceful. The devil often disguises danger as light (2 Corinthians 11:14).

God forbids nine practices in His word.

The occult, as He warns the Israelites to avoid and abhor it. Pronouncing it as towebah God, in His wisdom, lays out the Nine Forbidden Practices. They are:

1) Passing Children Through the Fire (Child Sacrifice / Moloch Worship / Abortion)
πŸ‘† Leviticus 20:2–5 – warns of severe judgment for offering children to Molech

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

2) Divination The Heart of the Occult. Manipulation from demonic sources.
πŸ‘† Deuteronomy 18:10

πŸ‘† Ezekiel 13:6–9 – warns of false prophets using divination

πŸ‘† Micah 5:12 – “I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand...”

3) Astrology We either trust God or the Zodiac, but not both!
πŸ‘† Isaiah 47:13–14 – condemns astrologers and star-gazers

πŸ‘† Leviticus 19:26 – “You shall not... practice divination or soothsaying.”

4) Enchantment/Encantations Someone satanically endowed to produce seductive spells.
πŸ‘† Isaiah 47:9–12 – speaks of enchantments and sorceries

πŸ‘† Psalm 58:5 – mentions the enchanter enchanting skillfully

5) Witchcraft and Witches Include its modern, organized counterpart, Wicca.

πŸ‘† Exodus 22:18 (KJV): “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”
πŸ‘† Deuteronomy 18:10: “There shall not be found among you… anyone who

practices witchcraft...”

πŸ‘† Micah 5:12: “I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers.”
  πŸ‘† Sorcery - Galatians 5:20 – “...idolatry, sorcery (pharmakeia)...”
πŸ‘† Revelation 21:8 – sorcerers listed among the damned

6) Charmer One manipulates objects or beings via demonic power.

πŸ‘† Deuteronomy 18:11: “Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits…”

πŸ‘† Psalm 58:5: “Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.”(This refers to snake charmers, but figuratively shows manipulation by magical means.)

πŸ‘† Isaiah 19:3: “...they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits...”

7) Consulter with Familiar Spirits One who gleans knowledge from demonic contact.
πŸ‘† Leviticus 19:31 – “Do not turn to mediums... I am the Lord.”
πŸ‘†1 Samuel 28:7–20 – Saul consults the medium of Endor, which leads to his downfall

8) Wizards Practitioners of magical arts
πŸ‘† Leviticus 20:6 – God sets His face against anyone who seeks spiritists

πŸ‘† Isaiah 8:19 – “Should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?”

9) Necromancers Those who claim to be in contact with the dead.
πŸ‘† Deuteronomy 18:11 – forbids communication with the dead
πŸ‘† 2 Kings 23:24 – Josiah removes those who work with spirits and the dead


🚫 God Strongly Forbids All Occult Practices or New Age Modalities for Healing

“There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells…”– Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (NKJV)

This includes:

  • Horoscopes and astrology

  • Yoga and Eastern meditation

  • Crystals and energy healing

  • Reiki and chakra alignment

  • Communicating with the dead (necromancy)

  • Ouija boards, tarot cards, and spirit guides

  • Burning sage or using pendulums

  • Channeling, astral projection, or dreamcatchers

  • and many more. See checklist.

Many people, even believers, do these things unknowingly, believing they are “harmless.” But in reality, they open legal doors for demonic spirits to enter.

🧬 Generational Doors You Didn’t Open

Even if you didn’t participate in the occult, your ancestors may have. The Bible tells us that sins can be passed down:

“...visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation...”— Exodus 20:5 (NKJV)

If your parents or grandparents were involved in Freemasonry, witchcraft, divination, New Age religion, or false religions, you may be inheriting demonic consequences like:

  • Mental torment

  • Poverty and failure cycles

  • Sexual perversion

  • Addictions

  • Fear and anxiety

  • Unexplained illness

😨 Do You Have These Symptoms of Occult Oppression?

If you’ve ever dabbled in these practices, or if you notice the following signs, you may need deliverance:

  • Nightmares, sleep paralysis, or seeing shadowy figures

  • Chronic anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts

  • Unexplained sickness that doctors can’t treat

  • Spiritual confusion or blocked prayer life

  • Constant fatigue or heaviness without reason

  • Financial loss, job trouble, or repeated relational failure

  • Feeling a “presence” in your home or on your body

  • Voices in your mind, paranoia, or sudden fear

These are symptoms of demonic torment. They will not go away with medicine or positive thinking. They must be broken spiritually.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”— Hosea 4:6 (NKJV)

πŸ•Š️ Deliverance Is the Answer

Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). You don’t have to stay tormented. Deliverance is the ministry of Jesus—setting captives free (Luke 4:18).
