• Occult Hidden In Our Society

    I know many people who believe that the world of the occult is limited to those who do witchcraft or magic, such as witches and satanists. They believe that they are not influenced by the occult in any way, and are safe from it. They celebrate satanic holy days such as Halloween, believing there is no harm in it.

  • Witchcraft In Mainstream Media

The window is open and all I can hear are screams of children and roars of an adult man who is scaring them.
