855: Ex-Witch Exposes Hidden Dangers of New Age | Angela Scafidi
4/21/20262 hr 49 min
She thought she was chasing light, but step by step it was leading her deeper into darkness. In this episode, Angela Scafidi shares her raw testimony of being pulled into the world of New Age spirituality and witchcraft, where what began as a desire to help people spiraled into full immersion. Astrology, tarot, Reiki, yoga, and ritual circles slowly turned into what she now recognizes as a coven . What felt empowering at first became consuming, as she describes years of going further and further down this rabbit hole with no desire to escape, convinced she had found truth and enlightenment . But behind the illusion, something darker was at work. What she once believed were spirit guides and spiritual encounters revealed themselves to be demonic deception, opening doors that only led to deeper bondage . Everything changed when the Holy Spirit interrupted her life, leading her to completely renounce it all, burning the objects, stripping her home of everything tied to the occult, and turning fully to Jesus Christ in a moment of radical surrender . What follows is a powerful story of deliverance, transformation, and redemption. Proof that no matter how deep you go, Jesus still pulls people out of the fire.
