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!

Ok, First off. You say he's 18. Guess what, time for him to live his own life. He needs to make some decisions. Are you going to stop loving him if he's a witch? Why would you? He's not hurting anyone and he's still the same person. Next, bear in mind that wicca is compatible with just about every other religion. You would be amazed at how many xian clergy are also witches. A witch and a satanist are 2 completely different things. Perhaps you should do some research. Also, the elements of wiccan ritual are mirrored in xian ritual. Look at any church service. You invoke your god and announce your presence, you praise him and enjoy brotherhood, you usually have a few prayers to those in need, sacrifice (tithe) and close the ceremony. Pretty much the same as we do. Why is this? Because the xian church found it a whole lot easier to convert pagans if the adopted pagan ritual. Where do you think we get easter from? You don't mention if you even liked his girlfriend before you found out she was wicca. If you did, she's still the same person. Is she involved in drugs? Is he? I've met more xians then witches who smoke pot. (Never tried it myself). Is your son intelligent? Did his mind come from evil? Then why should the application if his mind for good be considered evil? Not too long ago, to open a dead body and have a few peeks around in the ame of science was considered blasphemy and evil. Now, morticians, pathologists, forensic scientists, etc etc etc make a pretty good living at it. Is it still evil? Do you love your son for what you want him to be, or just because you love him? I guess that's the most important question. Why do you love you son?

Just know that I'm going to pray for your soul everyday, you may know about witchcraft but nothing about love. In the name of Christ and his shed blood may you be annointed over you!
