“Are you a good witch or a bad witch?” Dorothy was asked from the Wizard of Oz. From Macbeth to the present day, our stories, fables and fairytales have often contained witches, boiling cauldrons, spells, warlocks and magic.
Some of it can be considered a literary tool to illustrate the battle between good and evil. A recent article in The Citizen featured two local witches, Linda Townsend and Lydia Rosell. These days they call themselves Wiccans instead of witches. But Rosell admits that she practices the “craft” and was already casting spells in her 20s. It appears that the biggest thing that witches do is supposedly communicate with the dead.
They say that they can thin the veil separating the the worlds of the living and the dead. As Rosell put it, “The spirit world can merge with ours and they (the dead) can move among us.”
This is nothing more than satanism and demonism. Whether they know it or not, they are opening up themselves and others to the influence of Satan and his demons who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
The Wiccan rituals include a pentagram (a satanic symbol) and an altar. An altar is not just another name for a table but a surface used to offer a sacrifice in the praise and worship of the one, true God. Or it can be perverted in the worship of false gods and demons.
Communicating with the spirits of our ancestors is nothing more than aligning ourself with hell. Can strange things happen which cannot be explained by the physical scientific world? You bet they can. Demons are quite real. St. Paul said “we don't fight against flesh and blood but against the powers and principalities of the air.” Powers and Principalities are the names of two of the nine choirs of angels in heaven. In other words we're fighting against fallen angels-demons.
At the end of their rituals the witches of Wicca say, “We thank you and release you.” Once you open yourself to their diabolical influence they can plague you for the rest of your life. Their goal is your eternal destruction. Wicca will try to promote itself as a religion. However, religion is a virtue by which we worship and adore the One Supreme Being. This is a far cry from the demon-infested practices of Wicca. Townsend was quoted as saying, “There's only one rule - do what thou wilt and harm none. This is a variation on “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law” which was coined by Aleister Crowley, the father of modern satanism who was known as “the beast.” Wicca, witchcraft, spiritism, satanism, demonology - they're all part of the same boiling cauldron of evil.
So say a prayer for these people that the evil grip will no longer hold them hostage and they will turn their lives over to the one true God.
