Colleges Across America Offer Radical Courses On Witchcraft And Divination

[Almost Heaven]

Reportedly, Yale’s History of the Night course features “a cross-disciplinary approach to examine how the night became the abode of the ghost, the devil, the witch, and the dead.”

Duke University’s Radical Magic course culminates in making a personal “spell book” and includes students giving each other psychic readings.

One of Georgetown University’s courses is all about “rituals, symbols, shamanism, expanded states of consciousness, spirit possession, magic, divination and witchcraft.”

And it goes on from there. Answers In Genesis looked at other colleges, including several prominent Canadian universities and found that, yes, many colleges are indeed offering these classes to their students!

It’s a reminder that secular is not neutral. As our culture abandons its once Christianized foundation, it doesn’t become some kind of neutral space with a nebulous worldview divorced from spirituality and grounded in “science” and “reason.” That’s because, contrary to the naturalistic view, we are not mere biological beings. We are a body and a soul. God created us to yearn for him and to desire meaning and purpose—things the naturalistic, atheistic worldview cannot provide. So people turn to “spirituality,” or even demonic teachings like witchcraft, to fill that void—because as much as people want spirituality, they also love darkness rather than light, and these kinds of mystical teachings fulfill that desire (at least temporarily).

Anyone who goes to the waters of witchcraft, shamanism, divination, psychic readings, and so on will be thirsty again. Those “broken cisterns” don’t satisfy. But Jesus does. He is the water of life that will never leave you thirsty. He is the bread of life that lasts forever. He gives meaning and purpose for now and eternity.

Yes, young people are searching—desperately searching. But they are looking in all the wrong places. This should remind us that we have the hope of eternity to share with everyone, even those dabbling in or caught totally up in witchcraft.

John 4:13–14 KJV – “Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Just in time for Rev. 22:15

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

When my daughter enrolled in Mercer University, a supposedly once Christian university, she picked a class that studied “Old literary books.” I picked up a copy of the list of books they would study. It was a progressive course that would take an English Literature pathway. There were numerous books that were written by prominent atheists. The course also had a Old and New Testament study.

I tried to get my daughter to not take the class, she signed up anyway. Two weeks later she called me and told me she dropped the class. I asked her why? She said, it became obvious the female professor was a rabid atheist.

There will be is a great need for exorcists, and the need will grow as the US gets more and more pagan, occult, satanic . . .

Witchcraft, sorcery, "readings" (fortunetelling), contacting/talking with with the dead, astral projection/travel, magic (black or white), wizardry, crystals, tarot, charkas, ouija board, seances, casting spells, invoking curses, voodoo, etc., etc., etc. are sure and quick ways into demon possession. Even moreso when accompanied by drugs and/or alcohol. Eventually, demon-possessed people can get involved with violent satantic rituals, including animal and human sacrifice, as either practitioner or victim (willing or otherwise).

I've seen this up-close-and-personal with a sibling, former spouse, former FIL, on-the-job LE, and overseas, and it's wicked, evil, dark, death, horrible, sucks the life and light out of everything, destroys and distorts everything it touches, etc., etc., etc.

Some churches say any Christian(s) can exorcise/cast out demons, others say only Christians with the spiritual gift and calling, others say it's a role reserved for Pastors, and still others say no exorcisms after the early church. Most places never talk about it over concerns of sensationalizing, ridicule, fear, etc. However, it was a part of the Apostolic ministry and the early church going forward, and some still perform them as needed. Exorcisms aren't like the movie Exorcist, which sensationalized and used it to create "entertainment" (make money). The seldom-recited-except-for-Baptisms-and-Confirmations first line of the Apostle's Creed, "I renounce the devil and all his works and all his ways" is considered by some to be a form of exorcism.
satan and his demons know the Bible soooooooooooooo well
Accusing Christians isn't just in front of God's throne.

There are so many demon-possessed in Madagascar that ministries there routinely perform exorcisms.

I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy your daughter had discernment to drop the class. Also happy you brought her up in the faith and she had the opportunity to experience and see for herself in an environment with no real consequences for extricating herself, that atheism/secularism isn't neutral.

Sadly, electives today can become required courses tomorrow

I am glad too, she graduated with the highest honors available. She started teaching school with the state education department. She left her state job and is starting her second year teaching for a private Christian school.

So if I get a BS in witchcraft does that mean they will hire me at the local Halloween store?

Maybe.

But, they may want a graduation pic to see what you look like in a robe and funny hat
