Mysticism And Witchcraft On The Rise Among The Youth.

Witchcraft is actively promoted in this post Christian, neo-pagan society. The enemy has a way of presenting its studies as mysterious and lost information that MUST be uncovered. Especially to the youth without any religious preference, because it’s alluring to them. Little do they know, the gospel gives us power over their worldly manipulation.

Burning sage to cleanse the air of evil spirits and repeating “affirmations” are a commonplace among the youth. It’s almost comical how much of youth run to the most edgy thing in sight just to claim their individuality. We all understand what it’s like to not know who you are at a young age. When you identify with a group, you then have been given an identity. So your perspective of the world around you is limited to the scope by which your “group” sees the world. They wont take the story of Jesus seriously without the strife and adversity that their “practices” will soon cause.

The problem is, America carried so much weight on its back protecting its children from the idea of adversity that we now find ourselves trying to eliminate it entirely. If you don’t want adversity, you might want to take your life into your own hands. For whatever reason, they’re crying to the government assuming that they aren’t predatory elitists that want to rob them of their freedom. This is what happens when ignorance meets evil. Parents have done a horrible job at raising their youth.

Now, jewish mysticism has become intertwined in everyday witchcraft. Zo Jacobi runs “Jewitches”, a popular blog and podcast that deep dives into ancient Jewish myths and folkloric practices. Unlike the sage burning witches we’re used to, Jewish mysticism is much more involved with crystals and amulets of protection. Likewise, ancient Jews believed that the mezuzah protected them from messengers of evil — a function parallel to that of an amulet, or good-luck charm.

“The mezuzah is absolutely an amulet,” said Rebekah Erev, a Jewish feminist artist, activist and kohenet (Hebrew priestexx, a gender-neutral term for “priest” or “priestess”) who uses the pronouns they/them and teaches online courses on Jewish magic. “I consider it to be a reminder of the presence of spirit, of goddess, of shechinah [the dwelling or settling of the divine presence of God]. Much of magic is about reminding ourselves that we’re all connected and that everything is alive and animate.” 

The oppressive history of jewish mysticism, is often papered over or dismissed as “myths” and “superstitions.” “Saying ‘superstition’ is a way that we downplay our magic,” Kaminsky said. “We protect ourselves because, historically, a huge part of our oppression has been because we’re magical.” Most often, when looking into the mystic practices we run into the Kabbalah, or the Tree Of Life. “Kabbalah looks at Judaism through a cosmic, mystical lens that clicked for me a lot more than looking at a story from the Torah,” Kaminsky said. “As I read more Kabbalah, I started feeling more connected to my Judaism.”

Genesis 3:22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” So man, has the knowledge of good and evil, and shall not eat of the tree of life. Interesting, considering the Kabbalah is the “tree of life”. Jesus says “…To him that overcometh will I GIVE to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God” (Revelations 2:7). I claim the blood of Christ and I have not yet earned my eternity. I will receive it when God deems it so. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.

The relationship between alchemy and Freemasonry is a subject that has been written about in the recent work of independent author David Harrison’s The Lost Rites and Rituals of Freemasonry; certainly some of the symbolism used in English Freemasonry reflects the theme of the transmutation of a Freemason – how to make a good man better, the journey from apprentice to master being part of a pathway to perfection and excellence.

For those who are not aware, Freemasonry is a very old secular society by which those seeking power can network amongst each other. As innocent as it may seem at a community level, this secret society has been a filtering process by which pure evil is selected. Whilst there is no degree in Freemasonry higher than that of Master Mason, there are additional degrees that are offered only to those who are Master Masons. Master mason is only the beginning of the process for these poor souls if they are deemed worthy of moving forward.

It is my firm belief that once a Mason progresses beyond Master Mason, they begin participating in rituals that require more secret. Charged with pagan symbolism and alchemy. Albert Pike, 33-degree Freemason and author of Morals and Dogma states in his book, “Lucifer, the Light-Bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!“

The apostle Paul tells us that Satan masquerades as an angel of light. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). It is not hard information to find that Masons have a hard time being invited to join the 33rd degree. This is because they don’t yet know that satan is calling out to them. But when they realize they have a choice to make, it’s already too late.

Certain rites from the eighteenth century such as Count Cagliostro’s Egyptian Rite and Melissino’s Rite refer to alchemy or chemistry in their respective rituals, especially in the way the process of alchemy is said to change certain substances; alchemy being used not only as a reminder of the philosophical ideas of the time, but as a metaphor for the journey of the Freemason as he (or in the case of Cagliostro’s Rite – he or she) continues through the higher degrees, transmuting to perfection accordingly as he/she discovers the lost knowledge of the ancients.

Symbols such as the Ouroborus,  Mercury with Caduceus and the importance of the sun and the moon, not only remind us of the alchemical themes shared with Freemasonry, but also of the rites of the eighteenth century that attracted Freemasons who experimented in alchemy, Masons such as Louis Claude Saint-Martin, who became involved in the Rite de Elus Coens and Count Cagliostro himself, who formed his own style of Freemasonry, both testifying to the links between alchemy and Freemasonry. As Freemasons, we symbolically work stone to perfect it, stone that originally comes from the earth, and in Melissino’s Rite it is mentioned that ‘chemistry is art, and wisdom is nature, and the most learned chemist cannot be even a pupil amongst us.’ We strive for perfection in ritual and in life itself, like alchemists seeking lost knowledge to turn metal into gold.

There still are echoes of the link between Freemasonry and alchemy, from the certain symbols used and in some of the old rituals, even perhaps in the way the candidate is divested of all metals before entering the lodge today, we only have to look.

We have access to most of the knowledge in the world with the internet. With some diligent research, you can uncover the deepest secrets in plain sight. Where do you think witchcraft went? Do you think it just disappeared? Did you know Freemasonry is commonly referred to as “the craft”? It is my firm belief that this organization is something much bigger than it looks, and it is up to me as an individual to bring thought provoking evidence to support these claims.
