Can Christian Women Practice Witchcraft & Still Please God?
Last Updated on 10/17/2024 by Nicky
I am the queen of going down rabbit holes.
Have you ever started typing a phrase into Google or Pinterest and had a phrase pop up and you just had to know what that phrase was about?
That’s what happened to me on Pinterest.
I was trying to type in Christian women into Pinterest. As I was typing, one of the suggested terms that popped up was Christian witch.
I thought “Wait, what? That’s not a thing. Surely, no Christians practice witchcraft.”
Turns out I was wrong.
Christian witchcraft is a thing.
Except it’s not really a thing and yet some people sincerely believe that it is.
I truly wanted to cry while I was writing this post.
I had no idea that Christian witches existed although I should have known because the devil never rests and is always looking to deceive as many people as possible.
I’m so heartbroken that women are falling into this trap thinking that they are walking with God when they are not. Maybe I should word this post in a nicer way but I can’t sugarcoat this.
As I strive to become more like a Proverbs 31 woman, it’s imperative to “speak with wisdom and faithful instruction”.
I will not mince words.
There is no such thing as a Christ-follower who practices witchcraft.
This does not exist.
Yes, there are those who have been deceived into thinking they are Christians and witches but my dear ladies, please know that that you cannot be both.
It is just not possible.
I know I will be accused of being judgmental.
I agree with you…to an extent. I am making a judgment call on this and I’m ok with that. I’m claiming that I am perfect or that I do no wrong in my life.
That’s completely untrue.
However, Christians, as imperfect as they are, are supposed to lovingly warn others if they are going down the wrong path
And the Bible couldn’t be any clearer on this subject in both the Old and New Testament.
And I haven’t seen any other blog posts speaking out against Christian witchcraft on Pinterest so it needs to be said.
I’ll admit that this has upset me. I’m not doing the normal friendly introduction into the post. I guess this even shocked me who is by nature ( or by experience not sure which) skeptical about many things.
There are some of you who have already gone down this path and won’t receive this with the true heartache in which it was written but I’ve read comments from some who are unsure and don’t know if they should go down this road.
I urge you with all the love I have in my heart to stay far away from witchcraft.
There are numerous ex witches and occultists who are now Christians who would lovingly tell you the same thing.
There’s nothing Godly about it.
There’s nothing holy about it.
God is not calling you to a life of witchcraft.
That is not a thing.
That’s called a deception.
If you feel it is a thing, please show evidence of this using the word of God.
When you feel “called” to do something that God through the Bible has clearly spoken out against more than once (although once is enough) then that is not a calling from the Lord.
When you feel “called” to do something that God through the Bible has clearly spoken out against more than once (although once is enough) then that is not a calling from the Lord.
Why would He call you to do or be involved in something that he said would consign you to the Lake of Fire:
Revelation 21:8
8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.
No, y’all, he just wouldn’t. Not a thing and don’t believe anyone who tells’s you it is a thing that God would do.
Would God contradict his own word? Of course not!
There’s no amount of explaining or justifying that can be done to make this right in God’s eyes and His eyes are the only ones that matter.
It doesn’t matter how nice the Christian witch seems or how sincerely written their blog posts are.
Christian witchcraft is still not a thing.
I urge you, that if you are leaning towards this way of life and you’ve read some articles about Christian witchcraft but you’re still not sure what to do, listen very carefully to the things that are said about witchcraft in the Bible and those that practice it.
None of its good.
None.

And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw. -

10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the LORD your God. 14 The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so. -
Isaiah 47:8-14
8 “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure, lounging in your security and saying to yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children.’ 9 Both of these will overtake you in a moment, on a single day: loss of children and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and all your potent spells. 10 You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you when you say to yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me.’ 11 Disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to conjure it away. A calamity will fall upon you that you cannot ward off with a ransom; a catastrophe you cannot foresee will suddenly come upon you.12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have labored at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror. 13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. 14 Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame. These are not coals for warmth; this is not a fire to sit by.
I’ve shown you what the bible has to say about witchcraft. If you believe God is ok with witchcraft please show us that with supporting scripture.
Our feelings are not evidence.
How witches were treated throughout history is not evidence.
The way that we learn about what is pleasing to God is mainly through his word (and also through prayer).
If we say that God is okay with something that he clearly speaks against over and over, then what evidence can be used to support this belief?
Our feelings betray us.
Is it your heart telling you that it’s okay despite all scriptural evidence to the contrary?
Jeremiah 17:9 says “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”
We aren’t supposed to listen to our hearts to determine what’s right and wrong. Our hearts are not evidence of whether or not witchcraft (or anything else) is right.
Why I’m Writing This
I’m not coming to you as someone who thinks they are perfect. I’m not coming to you as someone who is looking down on you or who thinks they are better than you.
Far from it.
I can look at some of those passages that have lists of sins in them and see that some of my own sins are listed right there along with witchcraft.
My only purpose with this post is to lovingly warn people about this dangerous trend because I don’t see a lot of people doing it. I don’t even think a lot of Christians even know that this is a growing belief in the Christian world.
I certainly didn’t so I just wanted to encourage the Christians who are on the fence and aren’t sure if this is what they should do.
Please prayerfully read these scriptures.
Let Him lead you to understand what He is plainly telling you.
Thank you for reading and God bless.
