Wait until they call up a real demon like the witch with old Saul. Didn’t end well

Interesting.

When people turn away from God, something will move in to fill the void so it’s either God or Satan.

The seemingly innocent Harry Potter franchise got kids interested. I agree, this illusion of control can be very enticing to kids.

Pop culture. A lot of people thought Harry Potter was innocent stuff for children at the time, but a lot of names and places in the series come straight from occultism and demonology.

They’re trying to get an unjust advantage over their neighbors.

You need to be familiar with sacred places to feel the difference between those places inhabited by angels and those inhabited by the demonic. People today aren’t even searching for—let alone actually finding—sacred places.

Hmmmm....
-reject God and biblical lessons
-parents do little to instill, rather would have kids out of sight with an Ipad
-Morality is outlawed in school, non-existent in media, and openly flouted by leaders and replaced with “everyone’s morality is relative and therefore none is better than another” nonsense
-Magic and super powers drive a large % of all ‘entertainment’ [I do like SciFi but recognize it is fantasy]
-Much easier to worship a false god for gold than work for it
Lots of reasons. Not hard.

My surmise is that because the spiritual dimension of our existence is so neglected, disbelieved, even scorned in modern education and culture, people turn to the occult for a glimpse of the supernatural and personal proof that we are more than mortal, material creatures. Yet witchcraft, ghost hunting, Ouija boards, and other forms of divination are profoundly dangerous in that they can easily offer a way for evil things into one's life. And once that permission is granted to evil, it is not easily revoked.

"we have a huge interest in the supernatural and people don’t know where to turn to learn about that,” "

Wrong. People overall know how to use the Internet, and despite it being increasingly owned by the Left, one can still find the gospel and Bible Truth. Instead, the real real is that every generation since WW2 has been the most willfully Biblically ignorant and morally confused America has ever raised, and only increasingly so, while being baptized in the most pervasive, persuasive perverted media purveyors ever.

But the reason for the indulgence is not simply the former aspects, but because as with Buddhism with its variants, there is no substantive moral standards, if any, in the occult - dispensing with conscience and guilt.

People take up witchcraft because they do do not want to follow *God’s commandemtnts.

Witchcraft is easy, it puts you in control…and you are at the controls, all the way to hell.

The Ouija Board worked for me briefly when I was 13. It was the absolute weirdest thing. The planchette would fly around the board and there was no stopping it. It would provide answers neither of us thought of.

I didn’t turn into a black magic occultist, either.

Would you all consider Dungeons & Dragons to be in the category of witchcraft?

A school district in our area is once again offering a Harry Potter Night. They can’t read, write, or do math. . .but they know all about ol’ Harry. We are sliding fast as a nation. Disgusted probably does not even begin to describe what our Heavenly Father thinks of our country.

I have heard way too many stories from very trustworthy sources over the years, to ever touch a Ouija board.

Why are so main “mainstream” churches diluting or even heretically contradicting traditional Christian doctrines?

Most of the major denominations are having schisms because trendy leftism has taken over their national leadership and is systematically forcing out traditionalists and conservatives.

If parents drive their children from the family home at a young age, should they be shocked that their children become feral creatures and embrace anyone who will take them in?

This is not new. I remember Ouija boards sixty years ago, books on reading the tarot cards in 1969, Sun Signs on horoscope readings, books on witchcraft and spells, Anton LaVey and his Satanic Bible from those same times.
