Someone once told me, “I only light candles and burn sage for good vibes. I’m not summoning anything dark.”

But here’s the truth: the spiritual realm doesn’t operate on vibes. It operates on authority.

The devil doesn’t care about your good intentions. He only cares that you opened the door.

In today’s culture, spiritual counterfeits are everywhere – tarot cards repackaged as “clarity tools,” horoscopes pushed as harmless fun, “healing crystals” sold like spiritual medicine, and mediumships wrapped in pretty language like “ancestral connection.”

But the packaging doesn’t change the poison.

Occultism in Disguise

Most people aren’t knowingly joining witch covens or casting curses in the basement. The danger now is subtlety. It’s that gentle nudge to “explore” the unknown, to “just try” a reading, or to look into your past life “for closure.”

It feels spiritual.

It feels empowering.

And it’s a trap.

Scripture doesn’t leave room for negotiation. God clearly warns: 

Do not consult the dead, do not use divination, do not seek answers outside of Him (See Deuteronomy 18:11-12). 

These aren’t suggestions. They’re boundaries of protection.

Why? 

Because what answers back when you call isn’t your grandma. It isn’t your “spirit guide.” It’s something far more dangerous, wearing a familiar face to gain your trust.

The Spiritual Fallout

Here’s what they don’t tell you in those cute aesthetic witch-Tok videos:

•That recurring anxiety?

•Those nightmares?

•That oppressive heaviness that won’t go away?

•That weird sense that you’re “not alone” in your room anymore?

You opened a door. And demons don’t leave on their own.

The Only Way Out

If you’ve dabbled, experimented, or gone headfirst into spiritual practices that don’t line up with the Word of God, there is hope. 

You are not doomed. 

But you do need to repent and renounce it fully. 

Halfway deliverance doesn’t exist.

Call on the name of Jesus (Romans 10:13). There’s power in  that name to rescue you from the dark forces you’ve entertained. (Philippians 2:10)

Confess your disobedience, and He will forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:7-9)

Renounce all that you were involved in, and cut off ties with them. 

Delete files and destroy all the  gear, close doors, and fill the space you gave away.

Get into your Word. Fast. Pray. And don’t look back.

God won’t compete for your attention. But He will rescue you.

Are you ready to break the cycle and come back under God’s covering?

Leave a comment or message me. You’re not alone, and you’re not too far gone.

Shalom,
