Number of Witches in USA on Rise…

Number of Witches in U.S. on the Rise, May Surpass 1.5 Million

https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/michael-w-chapman/number-witches-us-rise-may-outnumber-presbyterians

A report in the Christian Post contends that the number of witches (and Wiccans) has dramatically increased since the 1990s, to the degree that there may be at least 1.5 million witches in the United States, which is higher than the 1.4 million mainline Presbyterians. "[T]he practice of witchcraft has grown significantly in recent decades; those who identify as witches has risen concurrently with the rise of the 'witch aesthetic,'" reported the Christian Post in October, citing data from Quartz, a Trinity College study, and the Pew Research Center. Between 1990 and 2008, the number of Wiccans in the United States grew from 8,000 to 340,000, according to three religious surveys conducted by Trinity College in Connecticut. In addition, the Pew Research Center reported in 2014 that 0.4% of the population – 1 to 1.5 million Americans – "identify as Wicca or Pagan."

"It makes sense that witchcraft and the occult would rise as society becomes increasingly postmodern," author Julie Roys, formerly of Moody Radio, told the Christian Post. "The rejection of Christianity has left a void that people, as inherently spiritual beings, will seek to fill." Roys added that witchcraft is especially attractive to Millenials because it has been "effectively repackaged." "No longer is witchcraft and paganism satanic and demonic," said Roys. "[I]t's a 'pre-Christian tradition' that promotes 'free thought' and 'understanding of earth and nature.'"

Wicca is pretty made up and there’s no succession of elder wizards that keep the faith true to anything.

Tangentially related, a converted former Wiccan relative of mine has stage IV lung cancer and prayers would be appreciated. She’s fighting what is apparently one of the less survivable variants

Wicca is entirely made up. There is no counterpart to it in the ancient world, it was made up wholesale in the 1800s

In other news, water remains wet.

So, winnie the pooh-ing what?!

Pagans always return to their vomit.

And?

Why do I care?

They embraced Satan the day they aborted babies.

This just makes it official.

PRAISE GOD, He may be calling her home. Her long fight to Christ may be over. May the Lord strengthen her faith and keep the rest of your family's contrite and satisfied only with Christ during this time of trial.

And, should she live against the odds, PRAISE GOD, a miracle because He has so much more for her to do for Him.

We mustn't fear the death of believers, but ought celebrate that God called us to belief at all.

I hate this world so much except for nature and the weather and also some comforts. Pic related will surely be a hit in the next 2-3 years to come. Then witches will be more famous and more people will want to join in. They could also put actual witchcraft in the show with diy instructions since they didn't hold back on Sabrina's being an actual witch.

No need for "muh jews"

Western "spiritual, but not religious" fags will rape the spirituality out of of any non-western faith they encounter, and turn it into a vague, secular or New Age mockery of the faith.

They did it to Buddhism, they did it to Native Americans, now they are turning even amazonian shamanism into some recreational activity so that yuppie corporatist drones can feel they have a soul again.

And pagans doing this shit isn't new.

Plenty of /pol/tards have turned the fascinating world of nordic paganism into "it's about respecting nature and the spirit of muh ancestors".

Also, fun fact:

A friend of the guy that turned buddhism into the "it's not a religion, it's a secular philosophy" meme for weed-smoking fedoras tried to do the same for Islam.

But saying you don't need believe in anything supernatural to be a muslim, or that Islam is scientific psychology, was too much bullshit even for them to make work(though it caught on a bit, if Hilaire Belloc's notes are to be believed).

They're stuck on the name. I mean, obviously nobody called it "Christianity" before "Christ" and even in the time Jesus was among us, it was generally called "The Way" since his name wasn't "Jesus Christ". People just get caught up in names and forget the actual principle.

The mass majority of "followers" leave it shortly after joining and if they don't they're usually mentally ill and the kind of chaff that inevitably burn regardless.

>They could also put actual witchcraft in the show with diy instructions since they didn't hold back on Sabrina's being an actual witch.

the show's already failed at depicting wicca, and the magic in the show is basically harry potter for adults.

sabrina depicts what's normally termed "devil worship" by pagans and such. the characters belong to a church that worships the devil in exchange for physical immortality and magic powers.

The real danger with sabrina is that it's more liberal propaganda from netflix – sabrina is a campus organizer for some gay feminist club or something, and it has the stock characters of a liberal netflix show: a black lesbian, a kid questioning his gender identity, a beta male friendzoner and an uppity female lead.
