The Age of Magic
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a rather disturbing development. Witchcraft seems to be taking over our universities.
Not only are occultic practices anti-science and thus by the standard set by the Left irrational, but they are actually dangerous to both body and soul, thus anti-Christian and anti-Humanist.
The article states:
ASU might argue the courses fall under the classification of history and do not promote witchcraft and the occult. But at least one course syllabus does not bear that out. For example, the syllabus for "Witchcraft and Heresy in Europe” says the class will examine how the identity of the heretic and the witch was constructed against its binary opposite, the "orthodox” Christian. It then turns to "religious Othering,” especially "the female as Other,” and asks students to explain how centuries-old witch persecutions continue to shape their own lives.
I have no doubt these courses promote such behavior and do not just explain them to the students.
I ask one simple question; why did Witchcraft disappear in the first place if it - in it's many guises - was so great? It disappeared because people realized it was superstition, or they realized it was actually dangerous. It had a limited appeal - Christianity had much more of an appeal.
And what nations have been governed by principles of wizardry and witchcraft? Haiti comes to mind; a great success story indeed!
Ultimately this is an appeal to Satan for power and success in this life, which is why it is attractive to some; they seek empowerment for one reason or another and offer themselves to demonic forces. Oh, many don't think that's what they are doing but it is. They are ultimately trading their souls for a more pleasing life. That is a terrible price to pay for the fleeting pleasures of this world.
There has long been an undercurrent of sympathy for the old pagan religions, particularly witchcraft, and we've seen it in popular culture for a long time. Remember the t.v. show Bewitched? How about Sabrina the Teenage Witch? The Harry Potter series? It goes on and on, and the purpose of portraying such pagan practices as fun is to attract people. With the spiritual vacuum caused by the erosion of Christianity into a social club there is a real hunger to fill that void and the old magical arts are making a play to do it. It is working to one degree or another.
As I've long said AI is a kind of witchcraft, and so too is the whole transgender business. It's a human attempt to build a tower to Heaven, much as did Nimrod in Babel. Oh, AI is technology, no question, but it's USE is often rooted in magical thinking; many see AI as their god. As for the trans issue, that should be obvious; by an act of will a man can become a woman if he insists loudly enough that he is one. Pure magic. Reality bends to the will of the individual.
We live in an age of magic, and that's not a good thing.
So it should come as no surprise that traditional magical arts like witchcraft are rising. They never fully went away and Christianity is shrinking in this the Great Apostacy. Coupled with technology you have a powerful psychological weapon to wield against the Church and so many are being swallowed in the maw of the magical demon.
