A LETTER TO WITCHES
|
|
By Dr. Robert A. Morey
|
|
|
|
The following is a letter that Dr. Morey has written to teenage
|
|
witches that he thought you might like to share with others.
|
|
|
|
I see from the pentagram you wear and all your magical charms
|
|
that you believe in the power of magic. Perhaps you have attended
|
|
a Wiccan gathering or you have participated in some magic rituals.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
|
|
But so many questions fill my mind. Have you "drawn down the moon"
|
|
yet? Have you ever felt a power come upon you? Do you worship a par-
|
|
ticular goddess? Have you been initiated? Do you have a Wiccan name?
|
|
Have you gone skyclading? Are you in the outer or inner circle?
|
|
Have you used blood in your rituals? Have you ever called forth a
|
|
familiar spirit?
|
|
|
|
The reason I am writing you is that I have studied the occult for
|
|
thirty years and I have come to certain conclusions.
|
|
|
|
Now, I know that you will disagree with some of my conclusions
|
|
because we have traveled different paths. But I have added the benefit
|
|
of the testimonies of those who used magic in the highest levels
|
|
possible such as the Golden Dawn and the O.T.O. and then have come
|
|
to faith in Christ and now have renounced magic.
|
|
|
|
All I ask is that you have an open mind and give serious attention
|
|
to the things I now bring up. Remember an unexamined faith is a
|
|
worthless faith.
|
|
|
|
I. The fact that magic does not work.
|
|
|
|
After all the talk about the "power" that people can get from
|
|
magic, I have never known a more powerless group of people.
|
|
|
|
Many of those who use magic are sick all the time. They go
|
|
through mulitple marriages. They have money problems. Their
|
|
cars get flat tires. They get their share of flus and colds.
|
|
|
|
Even more seriously, they cannot beat their own drug or sex
|
|
addiction. They are usually in bondage and totally powerless
|
|
to change their life for the better.
|
|
|
|
If magic really worked, they would never be sick. They would
|
|
win every horse race in town! They would own Wall Street by
|
|
now! They would be able to maintain a successful marriage.
|
|
|
|
But the fact is, you waste a lot of money and time on magic
|
|
and are no better off. In fact, you will end up worse off.
|
|
|
|
If magic worked, witches would be picking up the winning
|
|
lottery numbers every week. But the fact is that when the
|
|
"rubber meets the road" magic simply does not work.
|
|
|
|
II. Their lame duck excuses as to why they are sick or why they
|
|
can't keep their marriage together or why they aren't rich,
|
|
are weak and feeble.
|
|
|
|
One psychic "healer" (a relative of mine) is sick all the time.
|
|
Her husband is dying of cancer! When she boasted to me of her
|
|
magical powers, I confronted her with the rather obvious fact
|
|
that her magic did not work for her or her ex-husband. She
|
|
replied that her magic will not work for herself.
|
|
|
|
But who says that you cannot heal yourself by magic? Where is
|
|
it written down? And who says that your husband or wife cannot
|
|
use magic to heal you? If her magic cannot help herself or her
|
|
husband, then what good is it?
|
|
|
|
I could not help but point out that she was always crying about
|
|
money problems. What use is her magic if it cannot make her rich?
|
|
|
|
III. A magical world view is internally contradictory and hypocritical.
|
|
|
|
A. To say, "there are no moral absolutes" is to give an absolute.
|
|
|
|
B. To say, "Do what thou wilt, this is the whole of the law" has
|
|
been used to justify everything from black magic to human
|
|
sacrifice. If there are no standards, then on what grounds can
|
|
they condemn child abuse, Hitler, murder, etc.? They can't.
|
|
|
|
C. To say, "everything is relative" and "there is no evil," and
|
|
then to turn around and say that Christianity is "evil" is
|
|
contradictory.
|
|
|
|
D. To say, "Everyone has the right to believe what they want"
|
|
and then condemn Christians for what they believe is contra-
|
|
dictory.
|
|
|
|
E. To say, "Do what thou wilt" and then tell Christians NOT to do
|
|
what they wilt is hypocritical.
|
|
|
|
F. To say, "that it is wrong to judge/condemn others," and then
|
|
to judge/condemn Christians is contradictory.
|
|
|
|
IV. A magical view of life does not correspond to reality.
|
|
|
|
G. No magic is going to make you thin if you do not stop eating.
|
|
No magic will make you rich if you do not get up and go to
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
H. The claim of modern witches that they are reviving pre-
|
|
Christian paganism is not true historically. The rituals
|
|
and beliefs of modern day magic are of recent origin.
|
|
|
|
I. My brother in law who is in the occult told me he was going
|
|
to use magic to get himself a parking space in N.Y.C. I in
|
|
turn told him that I would ask Jesus to get me a space. He
|
|
drove around for four hours before finding a place while I
|
|
found one immediately and did not have to go around the
|
|
block even once! His magic was not even good enough to find
|
|
him a parking space!
|
|
|
|
J. A magical view of life is a cop out and it breeds irrespons-
|
|
ibility .
|
|
Instead of taking responsibility for their life, those who
|
|
use magic always blame "bad luck" or claim that someone is
|
|
using black magic against them. The truth is that YOU are
|
|
responsible for the choices you make in life - not magic.
|
|
|
|
K. It attracts people with mental problems.
|
|
Sad but true. I have seen this many, many times. The State
|
|
Mental Hospitals are filled with people who were users of
|
|
magic. It appeals to people with those kind of people.
|
|
|
|
L. They live in constant fear of the powers they draw down.
|
|
Hence they need the occult protection of the circles,
|
|
towers, shields, charms, etc.. What a terrible religion
|
|
of fear!
|
|
|
|
M. If you depend upon trinkets such as pentagrams to protect
|
|
you, you do not have any real power. To think that a stupid
|
|
piece of metal or glass is going to protect you from a demon
|
|
you summon is absurd.
|
|
|
|
N. The lust for blood is evil. It has led to horrible crimes.
|
|
Killing animals and people for their "energy" is wicked as
|
|
well as criminal.
|
|
|
|
O. Sex magic is filthy and gross beyond words and involves
|
|
child abuse, bestiality, sodomy, etc. You will never have
|
|
a normal satisfying sex life once you debase yourself
|
|
in sex magic.
|
|
|
|
P. Magic is for losers.
|
|
|
|
The greatest magicians always end up broke, alone, and
|
|
miserable. Check to see what happend to people like
|
|
Crowley. They were all losers.
|
|
|
|
Whenever a true Christian challenges them, the magicians
|
|
always lose.
|
|
|
|
I have challenged occultist to take their best shot and
|
|
they always failed. On one occasion, a coven sent demons
|
|
to kill me but I didn't even get a headache!
|
|
|
|
Q. While there is a lot of hate and lust in magic, there is
|
|
no love. If you leave or reveal the secrets, they will
|
|
try to kill you.
|
|
|
|
I helped to move a girl from Philadelphia to Florida to
|
|
escape her former occult friends. If they really loved her,
|
|
why did they try to kill her? If she wanted to leave the
|
|
group, why did they object to her doing what she wilt?
|
|
|
|
R. There is no forgiveness, comfort or salvation in magic.
|
|
It has no Savior or God who loves and cares for you.
|
|
|
|
The occult is lonely, sad, cold and sterile.
|
|
|
|
S. The Bible says that true power behind the magical arts
|
|
is satanic. Those who deny this are dupes of the devil.
|
|
|
|
These are just a few things that came to mind as I thought about
|
|
what I have seen in thirty years of research in the occult.
|
|
|
|
The Lord Jesus Christ has broken the power of magic and has
|
|
brought life, love and immortality to light through the Gospel.
|
|
Jesus is Victor!
|
|
|
|
The occult has nothing to offer that compares with the love
|
|
of Jesus. Turn to Him in repentance. Renounce your witchcraft
|
|
and the works of the devil. Burn your magic books and mash your
|
|
altars. Turn or burn. Repent or perish! Jesus is the answer.
|
|
John 3:36.
