We all know the devil doesn’t see this as a cultural studies re-enactment - some times playing around with this stuff will scare people straight to God. I remember reading about “The Exorcist” when I was a young teen - it scared the living daylights out of me but gave me the realization that if this stuff is real then God is real and I think I better listen to what He says!

A very well known writer once witnessed a black mass. The “priest” was conjuring up the devil. Although he was a proponent of “white magic” and owned over 2,000 books on witchcraft, he was frightened out of his wits by the display. He knew that the “priest” was a lunatic but he couldn’t get over the feeling that the devil was about to appear. I believe the “mass” ended up being called off.
For non-believers and sceptics, I know this is hard to imagine. There are just some things beyond our ken...
