Many get deceived into praticing, New Age or occult practices. These are practices are ultimately witchcraft. God is not for these practices. He is against them.
Tarot Cards
Tarot cards are a set of playing cards used in tarot games and in fortune-telling or divination. They have two distinct types of packs in circulation: those used for card games and those used for divination. Tarot cards, then known as tarocchi, first appeared in Ferrara and Milan in northern Italy.
What is divination?
People use these cards to see future events.
Deuteronomy 18:10 KJV
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
They open themselves up to become posessed by devils.
Acts 16:16 KJV
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
New Age Crystals
I once fell for this one when I was lost. They believe these crystals can heal them. They begin to idolize them. Instead of worshipping God, they worship the crystals.
Leviticus 19:4 KJV
Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
1 John 5:21 KJV
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
2 Corinthians 6:16 KJV
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Palm Reading
Palm reading, also known as palmistry or chiromancy, is an ancient divination practice that involves analyzing the lines, shapes, and mounts on a person’s hand to gain insights into their personality, relationships, and potential future. This practice has roots in various cultures, including Indian, Chinese, and Greek tradition.
They try to see the future, which God warned against.
Deuteronomy 18:10 KJV
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
New Age Meditation and Yoga
New Age meditation encompasses a wide range of practices and beliefs, often incorporating elements from various spiritual and philosophical traditions. It’s characterized by a focus on individual spiritual growth, healing, and a connection to a universal consciousness or higher power, often moving away from traditional organized religion. Practices can include mindfulness, guided imagery, mantra recitation, movement meditations like yoga, and energy work like Reiki.
They practice mindfulness and try to bring the soul into submission. They too are opening themselves up to demons.
When the word of God speaks of meditation, it is not talking about this Eastern meditation that is being made popular today.
Joshua 1:8 KJV
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Psalm 1:2 KJV
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psalm 119:148 KJV
Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
1 Timothy 4:14-16 KJV
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. [15] Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. [16] Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Astrology
Astrology is a system of beliefs and practices that proposes a connection between celestial objects and events or characteristics of human affairs. It’s often associated with horoscopes that aim to explain personality traits and predict life events based on the positions of celestial objects at the time of a person’s birth.
They worship the sun, the moon, and the stars. They begin to act really weird and stare at the sun. God created the sun, moon, and stars. Some of these people claim to love God but they create an idol.
Genesis 1:16 KJV
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Deuteronomy 4:19 KJV
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
Deuteronomy 17:3 KJV
And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
Romans 1:25 KJV
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
They begin to worship different beasts.

Talking to the Dead
Necromancy is the practice of magic involving communication with the dead, often for divination or to gain knowledge from the deceased. It can involve summoning spirits as apparitions or visions, or even raising the dead bodily. The practice has a long history and is found in various cultures and mythologies, often associated with both divination and darker magic.
They communicate with the dead. God warned us.
Deuteronomy 18:11 KJV
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
King Saul communed with Samuel who was dead.
1 Samuel 28:7-8 KJV
Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor. [8] And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.
1 Samuel 28:11 KJV
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
Enchantment
This is practiced today but under a different name.
Voodoo, also spelled Vodou or Vodun, is a religion originating in West Africa, particularly among the Fon people, and is now practiced in various forms, notably in Haiti and Louisiana. It’s a religion that centers on the belief that all things possess spirits and involves rituals to commune with those spirits. Voodoo is often associated with healing, protection, and guidance from ancestors and spirits.
Leviticus 19:26 KJV
Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
Evil Eye
I see young adults and teens wearing this necklace. They believe these trinkets have power.
They have no power. They idolize these things just like the rocks/crystals I showed before.
Jewish rabbis believe in this foolishness. They seek to be protected with amulets.
Warning
If you have children, keep your children away from this wickedness. It will lead them to ruin and lest they repent and accept Christ and their Saviour to hell. I once practiced New Age practices but never again. I was depressed and Satan decieved me into thinking this New Age cult would help. I was searching for something. I was reading the bible while practicing things of the New Age I saw that this cult was not pleasing to God. That was before I got saved. Don’t get caught in that snare.
