(A WEBSITE RUN BY SOMEONE WHO USED TO BE INTO THE OCCULT AND IS NOW ONE OF THOSE AWFUL "XTIANS". Yes, really)

ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OCCULT ARE ANSWERED HERE. YOU'LL GET KNOWLDGE YOU WON'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE.

The purpose of this website isn't meant to demonize occultists of any kind, nor lump them all together. It's meant to show the occult isn't everything it's cracked up to be.



What kind of information? Well, for instance, did you know Wicca can't rightly be called "The Old Religion", since it's only about as old as Rock and Roll? And did you know the word "witch"  has a nefarious meaning in every language on earth (including English)? That's including languages of cultures where Christianity doesn't exist. Did you know that there was never a "Stone Age matriarchy"  that ruled world?

And did you know millions of people did NOT die during the so-called "burning times"? Furthermore, no Wiccans were killed in it. Did you know Ergotism is believed to have been the reason for the hysteria of the Salem witch trials? No Wiccans died during that, either. Bad scholarship has lead to myths, such as Joan of Arc  being a Wiccan or witch. She wasn't. These are some of the myths this website clears up.

You'll also find out Wicca isn't Satanism.  Really.  Wicca also can't be combined with Christianity to create so-called "Christian Wicca"

There are also controversial things covered in this website. Ever heard of the"Good Witch's Bible"? It's not so good, which is why even many Wiccans denounce it.  Have Pagans of the past performed human sacrifices? How about Neopagans in the 20th century? You can find out here.

You can find out if Christian holidays  are Pagan (and if Neopagan holidays are Pagan or just a recent invention, for that matter).   Find out about the Celts  and the religion they embraced (and it wasn't Wicca!).  The Druids...were they the High Priests of Atlantis, or perhaps something less dramatic? In either case, they have no direct lineage to any of the Neodruid groups of today. Would the world have been better off without Christianity? Or did it in fact make the world a better place?

This  website  also covers other areas of the  occult  as  well, such as Satanism . Did you know Anton LaVey's many astounding claims (such as being a lion tamer, a millionaire, etc.,) have been proven false? Did you know he filed for bankruptcy a few years before he died? Did you know his family and ex-followers describe him as a wife beater, liar, and a pimp? Find out what one Psychologist has discovered about the four personality types who become Satanists are.  It may surprise you!

We hear stories about crimes  being committed by occultists, but are they all urban legends, or are there in fact some documented cases? You can read about hundreds of documented cases on this website that can't simply be dismissed as "xtian propaganda".

Many people who practice Santeria  call themselves "Christians", but are they? And what about Voodoo ? You can read one man's amazing story of how he left African Ju Ju (the parent religion of Santeria and similar to Voodoo) for Christianity when he realized it was superstition.

What if you feel like you've had a curse  or hex put on you? What if your feel like your house is haunted? Find out about it here, too. Before you consult a psychic or fortuneteller, read the "psychics"
page. It might save you literally thousands of dollars!

While there have been hundreds of books written on the occult over the years,  authors  of  those books (who were famous occultists  themselves) seem not to be able to practice what they preach! If they had all this power, why did so many of them die broke, or in prison, or wind up committing suicide? If  Aleister Crowley was a "demi-god", why did he die a penniless drug addict in a flop house according to biographers who knew him?

While we're on Crowley,  did  you  know L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology , was a follower of Aleister Crowley? You can read about that, download 3 ebooks on Scientology, look at FBI files obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, and more on this website.

 Freemasons...people who "seek light" and make all men free...but why weren't blacks allowed to join Scottish Rite Masonry (up until recently, supposedly)? And while all the crazy stories about Freemasons being "devil worshipers" aren't true, is there really something occultic about it, anyway? What part did Freemasonry play in the early days of the Ku Klux Klan? The answer might surprise you!

The Golden Dawn and Rosicrucians  are sometimes called "fringe masonry". The Golden Dawn was actually started as a hoax, and even some of it's members admitted it! Rosicrucianism also started as a joke by a Lutheran Minister.  Can something started as a hoax be of value?

Many  occultists  want  to  become     powerful   wizards, and conjure  spirits  using Enochian Magick  and  the  Necronomicon (or at least they attempt to). "Enochian Magic" is neither. Did you know its creators tried to  use it to find buried treasure, but never found any and died broke? Did you Eduard Kelley eventually thought the Enochian "Angels" were really demons? Did you know H.P. Lovecraft said on numerous occasions that he made up the Necronomicon, and never claimed otherwise...even to the many people who wrote to him? You can read about that as well.

 Was Helena Blavatsky  a prophetess, or was she proven to be a fraud in her lifetime? Did you know her writings inspired the Nazis? You can read the shocking truth for yourself here.

Did you know Hitler wasn't a Christian, and even planned to eliminate Christianity had he won WWII? There are thousands of pages of documentation released in the 1990's from the Nuremberg Trials that prove it. You can read about that and more here as well.

This website clears up common myths about Christianity as well. Did you know that Christianity isn't a religion for the weak, but that there are many famous and successful Christians? For instance, were  you  aware  that  the Roman Catholic Church (and therefore the rest of the Christian churches) isn't derived from "Babylonian Paganism"? Christianity has a lot more in common morality wise with the other religions of the world than you might think, which you can also find out here. 

You can also find out Gnostics aren't the original Christians, but in fact came later. Oh, and Jesus Christ actually existed and wasn't gay, nor a Pagan High Priest, nor married to Mary Magdalene.   The DaVinci Code gets broken on this website. Do Jews and Christians have  the  same  God  as  the Muslims? Nope, and you can read why here.


The Cabala... is it a source of ancient wisdom, or have even many Jewish scholars declared it false? Is the Bible filled with      contradictions  and errors? Download your free copy of 136 Bible Contradictions Explained,   then   decide.  

Is Mormonism a "restored Christianity", or does it have its roots in occultism, too? Read about 7 things everyone should know about Mormonism, and they decide.

Is Christianity for nitwits who don't believe in science? Why did author and college professor C.S. Lewis of Chronicles of Narnia fame think Christianity had so much to offer? You can read his book Mere Christianity free here too. Can you believe in the Big Bang and Evolution and that the universe is billions of years old and still be a Christian? Of course! You can read why here.

EXCERPTS FROM MERE CHRISTIANITY BY C.S.LEWIS You're probably familiar with C.S. Lewis.He's best remembered for the Chronicles of Narnia, which was inspired by the Gospel of Christ.

EXCERPTS FROM THEPROBLEM OF PAIN by C.S. Lewis 

Lewis was more than the author of The Chronicles of Narnia, he was also acollege professor, and Theologian. One of the things Lewis had to confront before he left atheism for Christianity was the problem ofpain. The classic problem of evil is usually stated: "If God weregood, He would wish to make His creatures perfectly happy, and if Godwere almighty He would be able to do what He wished. But the creaturesare not happy. Therefore God lacks either goodness, or power, or both." Lewis answers by showingthat thosewho say this do not know what "almighty", "good", or "perfectly happy" really mean. This book is typical of Lewis, well written, wellthough-out, and relatively easy to follow.

http://usminc.org/images/book/loss2life.pngAs a little girl, Susan experienced the loss of her father. After the funeral Susan asked the Rabbi a straightforward question. "Rabbi, is my daddy in heaven?" He paused, not expecting the question...but his smile seemed reassuring. "Susan, your father's memory will live on in the life you lead. You can be his legacy." It was a nice thought, but it didn't satisfy me. "Rabbi", I went on, "...you didn't answer my question. Is my daddy in heaven now?"  He was a little more serious at this point and looked straight into my eyes and said, "I wish I could give you a definite answer, Susan, but I can't. We don't know for sure what is beyond the grave. We can only hope. And remember, your father was a good man."  The rabbi's second attempt to answer the question troubled me even more."   " Loss to Life is the story of Susan Perlman, a Jewish believer in Jesus from Brooklyn, New York, and how she discovered the Messiah.
