[...] What do you think of when you hear the word “witch”? Pointy black hats? The Salem witch trials? The free-spirited members of the pagan religion Wicca?

Today’s working witches, whose prominence is growing thanks to social media, primarily see themselves as healers. They help clients who are struggling to cope with life’s hurdles — heartache, aging, misogyny, work stress — and who find that more culturally accepted remedies, such as therapy and meditation, aren’t enough.

They want to help you be your best possible self, or as the Oracle puts it, “My contribution is to … cultivate beauty and love in my clients and help them thrive.”

There’s no official list of job duties for witches, no state licensing board that notes educational or training requirements (which means clients proceed at their own risk). Services run the gamut, from herbal workshops to love spells to communing with spirit guides; some witches charge up to $200 an hour for their time.

Given the state of California and Los angeles in particular, I’d say their effect is appropriate.

That area is seeing the return of Middle Ages plagues so their magic is having an effect.

We all have a front row seat in witnessing what happens when God removes His beneficent Hand....

There is a spiritual vacuum in this state.

Remember what Jesus said about the demons returning to a house that had been cleaned and swept, but not inhabited by holiness and devotion to God, and so as a result even more demons came in and took up residence there?

Matthew 12:43-45.

That’s what’s going on with this state.

Once again, a busybody wants government
interference, i.e., laws, licensing, etc.
The correct title is ‘shaman’, not ‘witch’

The author must be a democrat.

"That’s what’s going on with this state."”

My own life is a lot lit that parable. as I grew older I drifted away from the teachings of my youth. Now that I am older I find myself going back to the Biblical teachings but with a greater appreciation because of my experiences. The terrible thing about people in California(and elsewhere) They were never taught lessons from the Bible so they have nothing to go back to.

So they, like the parable about the clean but empty house, are filled with all sorts of evil because they know nothing about discernment.
