"There may now be more Americans who identify as practicing witches, 1.5 mil, than there are members of mainline Presbyterianism (PCUSA) 1.4 mil," she said Tuesday."

Misleading headline. Based on these numbers said witches only outnumber a single denomination of Presbyterians (the very liberal unChristian one at that) and one that has been losing members in masses for years and currently overstates it's membership dramatically.

"No longer is witchcraft and paganism satanic and demonic"

Satan was an angel of light, and appears that way to those he fools. Witchcraft is not nature; it's supernatural. There are two sources of supernatural power. It either comes from God or the devil; not nature.

Companies like cosmetics giant Sephora have attempted to capitalize on it, marketing a “Starter Witch Kit” to consumers interested in dabbling in witchcraft. However, the company angered a number of actual witches and was ultimately forced to apologize and pull the product.


even witches get offended.

Small wonder these look like Romans 1:18-32 times.

Cling to the Lord YHVH and His Christ. Don’t compromise with the world.

Do not turn aside from the Lord even because your child or your friend gets caught up in sin and you are tempted to think, and they may even demand your acceptance of their sin, that they wouldn’t be doing grevious things so the things that they are doing must not be that bad.

Be one of the few that has never proverbially bowed to the Baals or kissed them. If you have, repent while there is time: after listing off those who can not enter the kingdom Paul immediately turned around thanking God that such were some of you.

Yes, those who die in the “such are you still category” (as opposed to “such were you”) perish in judgment, that’s on them, but do not go with them. Do not go with those who go with them for their approval and fellowship.

Cling to the Lord.

He’d never use anti-cling sheets in His laundry.

What is truly sad is that (I would surmise) the vast majority of these practitioners think it’s just a ‘thing’ they’re doing, never realizing that they are dancing with Satan himself.

One thing to know and understand here, there are, to my knowledge, few if any requirements or strictures leveled upon those who want to ‘practice’ paganism. From what I understand, it is mostly ‘do your own thing’ and if there is a morality to it, it appears to be a generic ‘do no harm to others’.

Even the most dim Christian knows that there are expectation involved in the Christian Belief. There is a strong morality embodied in faithful practice, there is a strong encouragement to be charitable in both actions and finances. There is a certainty that there will be a judgement upon your actions in the after-life. [For my Jewish Brethren, I believe that they follow most of the same morality. As for their ends, GOD decides that, it is above my pay-grade (grin)!]

To believe in Christ, Crucified and Resurrected and that GOD sent him to Earth for that purpose, is to force yourself into believing that which is beyond proof. Paganism is easy and as such it does little that is not already innate within the person. Christianity has the historically proven ability to redirect the most lost soul.

This is my FAITH and BELIEF, I can choose no other!

Go into Barnes and Nobles or some other bookstore and check out the children’s books...rows and rows of witchcraft and science fiction about monsters and space aliens only a handful with normal themes...

Its been like that for about 10 years...

When you push Harry Potter on a generation of impressionable young minds, don’t expect them to grow up wanting God and decency...

and unfortunately a lot of Christian parents thought there was nothing wrong with ‘wholesome’ Harry and his friends...

Its just cute...

“Novelty” made up religions, being different. Much like the Hari Krishnas of the 1970s, Moonies, Transcendental Meditation of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi when young people joined because they though they could “float” in the air.
Same for modern “druids” wicans and other nonsense.

Delusions of grandeur again in a different form.

King James Version
(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
**
1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
