- Why Christians should stay away from Magic?
***(A previous video of Sts. Cyprian & Justina of how they overcame it:
• St. Cyprian & St. Justina )
~How Does Magic Happen?
(The Materials)
Orthodox Christian priests of Christ, through their priesthood, bless water and sanctify it. When we drink this sanctified water, we drink the blessing, namely, the grace of God which is indwelling in the water, that is, in the matter. In other words, the grace of God, His blessing, is also transferred through matter.
Something analogous also happens on the side of the devil. His “priests” (magicians, wizards, warlocks, witches etc.), “bless” matter when they do “magic.” It’s through this matter that satanic energy is passed on to people.
These materials are used for magic:
• nails, needles, soap, egg, oil and figurines.
• bat or snake bones.
• soil from graves or skulls.
• human or animal blood.
• women’s soiled sanitary equipment etc.
(Ritual)
The late Archimandrite Haralambos Vasilopoulos in his book “Is There Magic?” (in Greek), presents the astonishing testimony of a witness who attended a ritual performed by a witch and saw with his own eyes what happened. He says: “I didn’t believe the witch, so I decided to go with her. I went with her at midnight to a deserted place. ‘Stay here,’ she told me, so I did. She went on and I watched her. She stopped. She undressed. She motioned. She was calling the demons. I heard strange whistling sounds that were constantly getting louder. I then saw pitch-black dogs and cats approaching from the surroundings. I was frightened. The demons had arrived.”
~On seeking to cure illnesses
Let’s say somebody is sick. This person is suffering. There is no hope for a cure. In their despair the relatives ignore the Merciful, Crucified Lord and turn instead to the misanthropic and murderous devil (through a witch or wizard), in the hope of finding a cure.
The witch, with a doll, figurine or photograph in front of her, begins the therapy, her assistant being the devil and her medicines, the bones from the left side of a frog, the blood of a hoopoe or a pigeon, the heart of an eel, the skin of a snake, a shroud or a blue stone. Archimandrite Meletios, from the Holy Monastery of Gregoriou on Mt. Athos, who is a missionary in Zaire, tells us how in 1984 he visited the town of Kolwezi. He found there a shaman who was curing lots of people through his magic.
St. John Chrysostom tells us how the devil, as our enemy, doesn’t want what’s good for us. If he does cure us, he doesn’t do so for our benefit, but to harm us. “The demons drove you out of Paradise, they deprived you of that heavenly honour, and now they’re going to cure your body? They have no pity on the soul, so are they going to pity the body? They showed no mercy to the pigs they drowned in the sea, so why should they show any to your body?"
And even if, with God’s permission, the devil does cure you, don’t think he’s done you any good. He might have helped your body, but he’s certain to have harmed your immortal soul, because the devil knows only how to do harm.
Of course, God allows the demons to cure you, in order to teach you a lesson, i.e., not to have anything to do with demons even when they’re curing you.
I would rather die than run to Christ’s enemies for a cure. What’s the good, if my body is cured and my soul is harmed? What’s the benefit of a little relief here on earth, if it means being cast into eternal fire? And yet you, a Christian, instead of mourning, rejoice and are proud that the devil has made you well!
~The teaching of the (spiritualists, fortune-tellers, sorcerers, necromancers etc.) takes many forms, according to the testimonies of the vanguard of occultism. Here it is in general terms:
1) They deny the dogma of the Holy Trinity, replacing it with one supreme god and other solar-gods considered his sons or with other planets that they compare with the Holy Spirit, and all of it is organized hierarchically.
2) Some speculate that God is not the creator of the cosmos, only its organizer.
3) They say that Jesus is a higher spirit and our sun’s god who guides man but doesn’t save him. They believe that the true revelation comes from the spirits that appear to man by means of the medium.
4) They believe that man is made of flesh and encircled with the spirit; that the soul of man has a casing or husk, can leave the visible world and after death communicate with those of the living that are worthy and believing.

Saddening, Lord have mercy! Let us always keep occultists and the like in our prayers. IC XC NIKA! ☦
I'm not a Christian, but I like the vibes this video gives. Pretty chilling.
There's a really good book on subjects like this called 'The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft and Demonology' by Rossell Hope Robbins. Really informative on the subject and the history behind it all (though it's kinda old).
Welp video is really good, I'm gonna save this audio and play every night till i sleep, soo soothing
I have been thinking about this recently with modern entertainment recently (mainly anime). Thank you for the video
