It all begins innocently enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut for one woman, what started as an innocent desire for deeper meaning spiraled downward into something gravely dangerous and chillingly real. Searching for spiritual direction, she went from reading astrology and practicing yoga to seeking advice from metaphysical gurus and pagan priestesses – drawing her deeper into the world of the occult and spiritual darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, millions are dabbling in the same practices. According to recent surveys, more than 60 percent of Americans hold at least one belief commonly associated with New Age or alternative spirituality, such as reincarnation, astrology, psychics, or energy in inanimate objects. This number is growing among women and young people. What many dismiss as harmless can quietly open a door that is shockingly difficult to close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter drifting from her faith in college, the author began exploring New Age spirituality as a young mother, searching for peace, purpose, and control. But when tragedy struck her family, grief and rage drove her to a breaking point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn her darkest moment, she made a blood oath with the devil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat followed was a life entangled in witchcraft, covens, and rituals that nearly destroyed her – and the people she loved most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHappily, this is not only a story of darkness. It is a story of how God refuses to let souls be lost. Through an unexpected encounter, a quiet call back to Christ, and the intervention of an exorcism team placed directly in her path, the author began the long, painful journey out of bondage and into freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eConfessions of a Former Witch\u003c\/i\u003e is more than a memoir. It is a warning … a witness … and an invitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndeed, it is a reminder that the spiritual life is undeniably real – as is the battle we all face within it. Whether you have encountered the occult personally or not, the forces that seek to draw souls away from the truth are working quietly, patiently, and are ever close at hand. Thankfully, so too is God’s grace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sophia Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53471550308649,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/1076\/3817\/files\/4B1A0597-0D34-4CF4-91D2-934BF04317CD.webp?v=1788285104","url":"https:\/\/littleflowercatholicshop.myshopify.com\/products\/confessions-of-a-former-witch","provider":"Little Flower Catholic Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
