2.Forbidden by Scripture
Whether it’s called New Age, neo-Paganism, Wicca, Spiritualism, Satanism, or Occultism, the above practices are forbidden by scripture. Any practice or participation in them is condemned by God. God hates divination (Acts 16:16-18), sorcery (Acts 8:9-13; 19:17-20, witchcraft (Deuteronomy 18:9-13), spiritism (Leviticus 19:31; 20:6,27) and magic. Owning occult objects, talismans, images, etc. are a contact point for demons to harass and oppress you. God calls these things “Abominations”/ (Deuteronomy 7:25) You are sharing with demons (1 Corinthians 10:20) and become a devoted thing like it. (Deuteronomy 7:26) These things are forbidden by the Lord and must be destroyed. “The images of their gods you are to burn in the fire. Do not covet the silver or gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it, for it is detestable to the LORD your God. Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. Utterly abhor and detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.” (Deuteronomy 7:26-27)
Have nothing to do with idols!
