Blessings from our lord above to those who attempt to help me! My problem is my son-18 yr.old just told me that he is a witch and also his girlfriend of one month. He was raised in an christian enviroment and accepted Christ at approx. age 14. He says that these witches(wicca) only do good spells on themselves. I believe there is only one God and that any magic/power recieved from other sources is evil. I don't know what to do! I know that it promises if you teach a child the right path to take that he will come back to it and I know to pray. He says that he did this two weeks ago., and I asked him if he still believes in God,Christ and his salvation and he said yes, but I'm not so sure that he isn't just telling me what I want to hear. Please help me and let me know if there is anything I can do further. Thank you to those who answer my question and may the Lord bless you!

Good Morning!
First, I doubt if you son is a witch. He is more likely to have been influenced by something else, but I'm only guessing. Second, there is no such thing as a good witch.
Third, and most important, talk about the SHED BLOOD OF JESUS CHIRST to him. Better yet, see if you can get him to talk about it.
For example, since he says he is a Christian, ask him to tell you what it means that Christ shed His blood. A demon can talk about Christ, but a demon cannot talk about the shed blood of Christ. Why? It was the shed blood of Christ that condemed Satan and witchcraft is part of Satan's work.
If you son can't talk about Christ's shed blood, we may have a problem - but try talking about the shed blood first. If he can talk about Christ's shed blood, then being a witch is more of fad than real. (However, he is playing with "fire".)
Regardless of rather he is or isn't, pray for him and his girlfriend.
