Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:45:26 +0000 http://linbad.com/help-with-nightmares-of-magic/#comment-18746 The magic of Criss Angel and David Blane is so unbelievable that it is easy to come to the conclusion that it really is "magic" and not just amazing slight of hand. I too get really freaked out by them. In fact, I don't watch them any more because of the same evil feeling I get from them! If you are very religious, then you may be familier with stories in the Bible such as when the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, and their God-appointed leaders, Moses & Aaron command Pharaoh to let their people go. To demonstrate that they had been sent by God, they performed miracles like turning their staffs into serpents. Pharaoh then called in his magicians who in turn also turn their staffs into serpents! But Aaron's serpents ended winning when they swallowed up the magicians serpents! This shows that there is supernatural power on both sides (but, thankfully, God's power is stronger!) so it stands to reason that people like Criss Angel and David Blane may actually be using the power of the devil to perform their magic, in which case, I feel very good about my choice not to watch them! I recognize there have been times in history when people come to conclusions that evil is being perfomed when it has not been, for example, when "witches" were burned at the stake simply because people misunderstood them, but there is indeed true witchcraft and evil out there that we need to be aware of and wary of. Trust your instict, as the Holy Spirit will give you a sense of which is just good old fashioned fun, and what is something to stay away from.

It's not really magic at all. Real magic can go either way, so you do have to be careful. I am a Christian who practices magic. (Remember, many of the things we accept now were once practiced by soley by witches.....midwivery, herbal medicines, planting by the moon, meditation etc. Other types of magic are still looked at a little suspiciously--divination, dream interpretation, scrying, dowsing, etc.). Some forms of Christianity, particularly those older churches in Appalachia, have always accepted their "witches" into the fold. There was no sigma attached. Oftentimes they were given the honorary title of "Granny".
