Devotion, a warning against witchcraft
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live (Exodus 22:18)
Although this verse seems harsh to modern readers, God had good reasons for warning against witchcraft in the Bible. It’s a tool from satan for getting us prideful about being in control of our own lives. These tools can include the wrong fantasy movies and music, and the occult like tarot cards, astrology predictions, manifesting, meditation, etc. The knowledge of the future belongs to God, not us.
Witchcraft is not just a nature loving hobby, it’s explicit rebellion. There’s no such thing as good, neutral/gray or white witchcraft. In the sight of God, all witchcraft is sin. It’s the worship of the created and not the creator. It’s the worship of yourself as if you were your own god. And even worse, it tries to manipulate God when you don’t feel like being obedient. Stay away and use discernment in your friendships and entertainment.
