God forbids witchcraft for Christians because it is a act of sin which brings death; and God is against death. There are many forms of witchcraft, and they are mentioned in (Leviticous 19:26). If you read the Old Testament you'll find teachings against the Pagan religion, and practices can be found in Deuteronomy, Chapter 18, and Samuel, Chapter 15. God again, in the New Testament tells us the consequences of practacing witchcraft and sorcery. Galatians (5: 19-21) Now the doings(practices) of the flesh are clear(obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency, idolatory, sorcery, enmity, anger(ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit(factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), envy, drunkeness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Today there is a true religious movement in the form of Paganism. The Pagan religion and some of the practices today can be found and dated back to the Old Testament. These are the very religions that God spoke to His people about regarding Israel, and what Jesus Christ spoke against.

If you do an Internet search you will find alot on the Pagan religion, and what is involved. Some of the things involved are casting of spells to improve ones health, wealth and ones love life in the form of fornication and pre-marital relations. These are acts of provision for the flesh involving rituals and natural products such as herbs and plants.

Other beliefs include:

- The Pagan seasonal cycle (Almost all Pagans celebrate a cycle of 8 festivals spaced throughout the Year).

- Nature (This is the heart of their belief - They believe at being one with nature and it's cycles).

- Concepts of the Divine and Pagan Theology.

As Christians, we need to reflect on our daily life and see if some of the traditions and practices we have adopted are from Pagan origins. The media bombards us with movies such as "Harry Potter", "The Grudge" and "The Ring", which have Pagan practices. As Christians, we need to stop Satan in His tracks with the Word of God, instead of just allowing Satan to influence our lives and our walk with Christ.
