Their hatred is the “hex.” The more they hate, the more they deem the “hex” worked.
I have a co-worker who is like a little sister to me and a decade ago when her marriage was crumbling, she was separated and in the process of a divorce an old boy from high school out of the blue connected with her on facebook.
He was in the military and was into witchcraft. She told me she went out with him once and he told her some of the craziest things about her that he couldn’t have known from facebook and she hadn’t communicated with him in decades. He was angry, said she was his and wanted her to have no male friends in her life.
She sought my advice and I told her you are a Christian you need to tread carefully here with this guy, you know he is into something dangerous as he has told you he was into some dark stuff etc... Lets just say strange things started happening to her, I even had an event happen and this weirdo told her of things happening and things he was “doing” to her and her friends, which he couldn’t have known about.
She listened to me and didn’t let it go very far and told him which enraged him. She told him I belong to Christ I cannot go into the darkness, that she cared for him as a friend and would pray for him. He was not happy but vanished as quickly as he had appeared in her life.
Within a year or two she met a guy at church, they fell madly in love and have been happily married since. She dodged a bullet with wicca man. These people are playing with powers they don’t understand and are in great danger.
