OCCULT PRACTICE, WITCHCRAFT & SATANISM

A WARNING FOR EVERYONE

Do not love the world [all that is hostile toward God and alienated from Him] or the things of the world. [Love of the world and love of God are mutually exclusive (James 4:4).]
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, sensual lust [“the lust of the flesh” (inordinate desire for physical gratification)], enticement for the eyes [“the lust of the eyes” (avarice or covetousness)], and a pretentious life [“the pride of life” (arrogance or willful independence from God and others)], is not from the Father but is from the world. Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever.
(1 John 2:15-17)

The Devil will satisfy “the lust of the flesh.” The Devil will provide enticement for the eyes, the “windows to the soul.” The Devil will feed “the pride of life” -- causing one to abandon God and others.

It is the Devil who lures people (young and old) into witchcraft, Satanism and Occult practice. The Devil offers excitement, diversion, mystery and intrigue to people fighting boredom… he provides friendship and support for people in lonely, tragic circumstances… and he seduces people who are fascinated with the paranormal and the dark side of life.

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. 
(1 Timothy 4:1)

For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths. 
(2 Timothy 4:3-4)

HALLOWEEN / SAMHAIN

While most people innocently celebrate Halloween as a children’s night of scary costumes and candy (“Trick or Treat”)… neo-pagans, such as Druids and Wiccans (witches) -- followers of the Old Religion -- celebrate Samhain, a night for remembering the dead and for practicing divination concerning the future.

SAMHAIN (Summer’s End)

Celtic New Year & “Festival of the Dead”

 

“When the sun’s power wanes, and the strength of the gods of darkness, winter, and the underworld grows great . . . On the night of Samhain, the door to realms beyond mortal comprehension is opened, the veil between life and death is at its thinnest . . . It is believed that at this time of the year the souls of the dead can walk among the living . . . This night (October 31) and all of the first week of November once blazed with ritual fires, upon which the early Celts symbolically burned all the frustrations and anxieties of the preceding year.” _ R. L. Ellison, The Solitary Druid 

This reminds me of the “Cremation of Care” ceremony at the Bohemian Grove, which includes the burning of a mummy-like effigy named “Care” at the foot of a 40-foot-tall concrete owl.

The Great Owl at the Bohemian Grove represents Moloch. Moloch is the god/demon of child murder. Some also believe the Great Owl represents “the ability to see in the dark,” and is associated in that sense with the All Seeing Eye. It obviously has some hidden meaning.

To purge themselves of worldly concerns, members of the Bohemian Club -- a private club of influential men (the ruling elite) which meets annually in Sonoma County, CA -- participate in a “Cremation of Care” ceremony -- which is, a mock child sacrifice.

Cremation of Care Ceremony at the Bohemian Grove

Lighting a torch and turning towards a funeral pyre, the High Priest says: “Great Owl of Bohemia, we thank thee for thy adjuration.”

The High Priest lights the pyre and continues: “Well should we know our living Flame of Fellowship can sear the grasping claws of Care, throttle his impious screams and send his cowering carcass from this Grove. ‘Begone, detested Care, begone! Once more we banish thee!’ Let the all potent spirit of this lamp by its cleansing and ambient fire encircle the mystic scene. ‘Hail Fellowship! Begone Dull Care! Once again, Midsummer sets us free!”

Is this a ritual cleansing of conscience for members of secret societies... an “absolution” for sins/crimes against humanity? And what is this “all potent spirit” that cleanses consciences with ambient fire?

Satanists established October 31 as an “All Demons’ Night” -- “All Hallows’ Eve” -- a festival and major “sabbat” for Satanists and witches.

A sabbat is “a secret rendezvous of witches and sorcerers for worshiping the Devil, characterized by orgiastic rites, dances, feasting, etc.”
