Illustration titled “The Imitation of Light.” The main quote reads, “Witchcraft may whisper, but a praying mother roars.” Around the title are small cartoon figures of children dressed as a witch, a wizard, and a devil. A leafless tree with hanging stars is centered below. Four short Christian quotes appear: “False power demands sacrifice; true power was already given at the Cross.” “Light doesn’t negotiate with darkness — it drives it out.” “We don’t worship creation — we serve the Creator.” “The counterfeit always copies — but never creates.” The design promotes faith, discernment, and light over darkness.

Shield Your Kids From Darkness: A Mom’s Ultimate Bible Guide to Expose Witchcraft & Walk in Light

October 13, 202516 min read

1) A Wake‑Up Call for Mothers

Being a mom is holy work. We pack lunches, help with homework, and comfort tears—but we also guard our homes. Across history and cultures, some systems have tried to replace worship of the Creator with the worship of created things (nature, power, secret knowledge). These systems often target identity, family unity, and—most painfully—our children.

Good news: Jesus is Lord. God’s Word is clear. You can create a peaceful, prayer‑covered home—without fear and without confusion.

Bible:

  • “Be sober, be vigilant…” (1 Peter 5:8)

  • “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)

  • “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” (Ephesians 5:11)

  • “Except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” (Psalm 127:1)


2) Fertility Cults: Six Core Elements

This section explains the entire framework found across fertility‑cult teachings, stated plainly and safely.

(A) Gender Conflict

What it claims: Men and women are locked in a battle for control.
How it shows up: Constant domination, contempt, or fear of the opposite sex.
Why it harms: It destroys the unity God designed for families and community.
God’s design: Honor, mutual service, protection, and love.
Bible: Genesis 1:27–28; Ephesians 5:21; Romans 12:10; Galatians 3:28
Mom Steps:

  • Model respectful speech about men and women.

  • Teach kids that every person bears God’s image and deserves dignity.


(B) Appeasing False Deities

What it claims: Perform rituals to please other “powers” and gain favor.
How it appears: Counterfeit “holy” moments that imitate true worship or communion, plus rituals tied to the four elements (fire, air, water, earth) and a counterfeit “spirit.”
God’s truth: We don’t earn love by harm or ritual. Jesus already gave Himself for us.
Bible: Exodus 20:3; 1 Corinthians 10:20; Hosea 6:6; Romans 12:1; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26; Isaiah 5:20
Mom Steps:

  • Explain idolatry simply: “Anything we trust more than Jesus becomes a false god.”

  • Practice gratitude, prayer, and obedience—not rituals for “power.”

About the Four Elements:

  • Fire, Air, Water, Earth are sometimes used as ritual channels.

  • True worship is in Spirit and truth—directed to the Creator, not creation.
    Bible: Psalm 146:6; John 4:24


(C) Sorcery

What it claims: Spells, charms, mixtures, ritual words, amulets, and fake “blessings” (that hide curses) can control people or events.
Targets: Individuals, families, churches, perceived enemies, or the opposite gender.
God’s truth: Close the door on occult arts; take refuge in the Lord.
Bible: Deuteronomy 18:10–12; Leviticus 19:31; Acts 19:19; Isaiah 54:17
Mom Steps:

  • Teach kids never to repeat chants—even as jokes.

  • Declare Isaiah 54:17 over your home: “No weapon… shall prosper.”


(D) Magic (Two Types)

Core idea: “Power” is a neutral force anyone can switch on with the right rites—even above the “gods.”
Biblical answer: God alone is sovereign; no force outranks Him.
Bible: Proverbs 21:30; Jeremiah 32:27; Isaiah 47:10–15

Two Types:
1) Contagious Magic (Law of Contact): If something touched you, using it can “reach” you.
2) Sympathetic Magic (Law of Similarity): If an object represents you, actions on it are believed to affect you.
Often these are combined to feel “stronger.”
Bible: Proverbs 26:2; 1 John 4:4

Why words seem central:

  • Incantations are treated like power switches.

  • Old languages (Hebrew, Latin, “Enochian”) may be used as if age equals power.
    Bible’s answer: Words matter, but God’s Word rules and endures.
    Bible: Proverbs 18:21; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 4:4


(E) Divination

What it claims: You can get hidden knowledge (future, secrets, control) apart from God.
Common methods: Reading smoke patterns; staring into mirrors or still water; omens; manipulating dreams; even misusing the Bible as a codebook rather than obeying its clear meaning.
Bible’s answer: Seek God for wisdom; test everything by Scripture.
Bible: Deuteronomy 18:10–12; Isaiah 8:19–20; James 1:5
Mom Steps: Teach kids: “When we need wisdom, we ask God—not signs.”


(F) The Coming Catastrophe Myth

What it claims: The earth will purge most people; only initiates survive. Some groups have floated date ranges (e.g., AD 2020–2040) and even specific “resurrection” days like December 17.
Bible’s answer: The earth belongs to the Lord. No one knows the day or hour of the end.
Bible: Psalm 24:1; Colossians 1:16–17; Matthew 24:36; 2 Peter 3:10–13
Mom Steps: Calm fears by reading promises in Scripture; teach hope in Christ, not doomsday stories.


3) Important Points to Understand

Hallowed Ground & “Sacred” Sites

Claim: A group “owns” a territory where everything living “bows” to their power. A main site often includes a stone altar, a spring, and a special tree (often an oak) on higher ground.
Homes, bedrooms, mirrors, and common items may be “dedicated” in rituals to create a sense of protection and control.
Why this matters: Locations can feel heavy or unsettling because of what was done there.
Mom Steps:

  • Dedicate your home to Jesus: walk and pray room by room.

  • Pray over doors, beds, mirrors, screens, and objects.

  • Ask God to make your home a place of peace, truth, and rest.
    Bible: Joshua 24:15; Exodus 3:5; Psalm 91:11; Psalm 29:11

Simple House Blessing Prayer:

“Father, in Jesus’ name, this home is Yours. Cleanse it from every dark thing. Fill it with Your peace and truth. Place Your angels here. Amen.”


Astral Travel, Pathways, and Portals

What people claim:

  • A person can leave the body and travel by thought.

  • A mist‑like “astral body” can watch, listen, disturb, or influence elsewhere.

  • “Helpers” (spirits) can be sent to disrupt prayer, counseling, or family peace.

How it’s trained to feel real:
1) Early conditioning: Children are taught to “go away in the mind” during fear or pain.
2) Dissociation: The mind splits to cope; later this feels like leaving the body.
3) Guided practice: Older members “lead the route” repeatedly.
4) Spiritual reinforcement: Dark spirits mimic travel and “presence” so it seems convincing.

Astral pathways & portals:

  • Pathways: Repeated routes that feel like tunnels between two places.

  • Portals: “Openings” at each end—often sensed in walls or mirrors—marking start or endpoint.

  • Portron: A claimed internal portal in the mind—used to push images, pressure, or messaging.

What an ‘astral projection’ is said to do:

  • “Arrive” unseen to unsettle or distract.

  • Trigger nightmares or fear right after progress in prayer or counseling.

  • Try to pull someone back into old vows.

Calm, Christian response:

  • Name Jesus as Lord over your home (Philippians 2:9–11).

  • Close doors in prayer: “Lord Jesus, close every portal, inside and out.”

  • Read Psalm 91 aloud at bedtime.

  • Bless mirrors and screens: “Only what honors God is welcome here.”

  • Resist fear with worship: Darkness relies on fear; light drives it out.
    Bible: Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:4–5; James 4:7; John 1:5; Psalm 91


Gifts, “Powers,” and Ranking

System logic: Each member claims personal “powers.” Rank equals displayed power. Challenges decide status; losers may be expelled and spend years trying to “get power back.”
Hidden cost: The more “power” someone tries to carry, the more pain they carry—physical, emotional, spiritual. Hidden parts may sabotage healing to protect status, then punish the person with nightmares, flashbacks, or exhaustion.
Bible: Matthew 23:11; 2 Corinthians 12:9; John 8:36
Mom Steps: Teach kids that true greatness is serving like Jesus and true strength is grace.


The Circle: Gatherings, Summonings, Night Pushback

Claim: The circle must be unbroken. Members gather at “sacred” sites, often tied to moon phases.
If someone cannot attend, they are expected to project themselves.
When a person begins to heal or walk with Christ, night pressure may try to pull them back into vows.
Why families notice it: A peaceful day can be followed by a hard night with fear or bad dreams.
Bible: Ecclesiastes 4:9–12; Romans 8:31; Matthew 18:19–20
Mom Steps:

  • Keep a steady rhythm of Scripture, worship, and prayer—especially during stressful seasons.

  • Pray together in agreement and share communion as a family.


Instilled Hatreds & Deep Trauma

Tactic: Deliberately create hatred toward men or women through cycles of control and humiliation.
Jesus’ heart: He heals the brokenhearted and frees captives.
Bible: Isaiah 61:1; Luke 4:18; 1 John 4:18
Mom Steps:

  • Normalize gentle truth‑telling and safe feelings.

  • Celebrate small steps of healing and forgiveness.


Training Timeline: Maiden → Mother → Crone

This concept describes how occult systems often structure female involvement across life stages. Here’s what each stage means:

1. Early Training (≈10–11 years old) – “Maiden” Stage

  • What happens: Around age 10 or 11, a girl begins formal instruction in the group’s beliefs and practices. This is when loyalty tests start.

  • Why it matters: At this age, children are impressionable. They’re learning identity and trust. These systems exploit that vulnerability by teaching secrecy, fear, and false power.

  • Mom insight: If your child suddenly becomes secretive, fearful, or obsessed with “special knowledge,” pay attention. Ask gentle questions. Keep communication open.

Bible Anchor:
“Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” (Ecclesiastes 12:1)
“Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12)


2. Full Accountability (~16 years old) – “Mother” Stage

  • What happens: By mid-teens, the girl is expected to act as a full adult member. She may be pulled from public school or placed in private settings that look faith-based but hide the real agenda. Sometimes “home school” is used as a cover while actual training happens elsewhere.

  • Why it matters: This stage often includes deeper vows and pressure to prove loyalty. It’s framed as empowerment but is really control.

  • Mom insight: Watch for sudden changes in schooling, isolation from healthy peers, or extreme secrecy. Teens need strong identity in Christ and safe spaces to talk.

Bible Anchor:
“Train up a child in the way he should go…” (Proverbs 22:6)
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.” (Galatians 5:1)


3. Elder Years – “Crone” Stage

  • What happens: When a woman reaches the end of her childbearing years, her role shifts. She’s no longer valued for physical acts but for influence and “wisdom.” She may mentor younger members, choose favorites, and claim to pass on spiritual “lineage.”

  • Why it matters: This stage reinforces generational cycles. It keeps the system alive by grooming new leaders.

  • Mom insight: If you’re mentoring teens, teach them that true wisdom comes from God, not secret traditions. Encourage them to seek counsel from Scripture and godly mentors.

Bible Anchor:
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” (Proverbs 9:10)
“Older women… teach what is good.” (Titus 2:3–4)


Mom Steps for All Stages

  • Speak identity daily: “You are loved by God. Your worth is in Christ—not in any group or ritual.”

  • Stay involved: Know your child’s friends, teachers, and online spaces.

  • Create safe dialogue: Ask open-ended questions like, “What do you think about that?”

  • Cover in prayer: Dedicate your child to Jesus every day. Pray Psalm 91 and Ephesians 6:10–18 over them.

The Male Track

This section describes how occult systems often shape the role of boys and men. It’s important for moms to recognize these patterns so they can raise sons who reject false ideas and embrace God’s truth.

Core Emphasis

  • Pride: Boys are taught that power equals worth. They’re told to seek dominance instead of humility.

  • Control: Leadership is framed as control over others, not service.

  • Contempt for Women: Systems deliberately plant disdain for females, teaching boys to see women as inferior or tools.

  • “Proof” of Loyalty: Boys are pressured to demonstrate commitment through harmful or extreme acts. Their value is tied to performance and physical strength.


Why This Is Dangerous

  • It distorts God’s design for manhood. Instead of being protectors and servant-leaders, boys are trained to dominate and manipulate.

  • It creates cycles of abuse and broken relationships.

  • It leaves men empty because their identity is built on fear and pride, not love and grace.


God’s Blueprint for Men

  • Humility over pride: “God resisted the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” (James 4:6)

  • Justice and mercy over control: “Do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God.” (Micah 6:8)

  • Love over domination: “Let all your things be done with charity.” (1 Corinthians 16:14)


Mom Steps

  • Affirm true strength: Teach your son that real strength is self-control and courage to do what’s right.

  • Model respect: Show him how men and women honor each other in healthy ways.

  • Speak identity daily: “You are strong because God is with you—not because you control others.”

  • Encourage service: Give him opportunities to help at home, church, and community. Praise acts of kindness and humility.

  • Pray over him: Ask God to fill him with wisdom, compassion, and boldness to stand for truth.


Moon Phases & “Power Windows”

What This Teaching Claims

  • Women are told to sync their menstrual cycles with the full moon as a sign of spiritual alignment.

  • They are instructed to send “blessings” during the waxing moon (when the moon is growing) and “curses” during the waning moon (when the moon is shrinking).

  • Some counselors who work with survivors notice that therapy or spiritual care can feel easier during the new-to-full moon phase and more resistant during full-to-new—because these systems tie their rituals to moon cycles.


Why This Matters

  • It’s a counterfeit of God’s timing and seasons. Instead of trusting the Creator, these practices worship creation.

  • It teaches women to believe their power rises and falls with the moon, not with God’s Spirit.

  • It can create fear or superstition around natural cycles.


God’s Truth About Time and Seasons

  • God made the moon for natural seasons, not for spiritual control.

  • Our spiritual authority comes from Jesus, not from phases of the moon.
    Bible:
    “He appointed the moon for seasons.” (Psalm 104:19)
    “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” (Ephesians 5:16)


Mom Steps to Redeem the Time

  • Plan worship nights during the month—not based on fear, but on faith.

  • Read Scripture together as a family (Psalm 91, Proverbs 3:5–6).

  • Share communion at home to celebrate Christ’s covenant, not nature’s cycles.

  • Teach kids: “The moon is beautiful because God made it—but it has no power over us.”


Bible: Psalm 104:19; Ephesians 5:16


The Church as a Target

Tactic: Attend services to curse leaders, seduce, or sow confusion. Some hide behind religious language (even Marian devotion) or twist Scripture as a code. A “Witches’ Bible” may be claimed, saying Biblical heroes were occult users.
Bible’s answer: Test all things by the plain meaning of Scripture. Pray for leaders.
Bible: Matthew 7:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:21; 2 Timothy 3:16–17
Mom Steps:

  • Pray for your pastors by name.

  • Teach kids to read the Bible as it is written and to love the local church.


4) Two Operating “Laws” in Witchcraft

(A) Law of Opposites

Claim: Opposites are blended; words can mean their reverse. A “blessing” might be a curse. This enables double‑speak—even in churches.
Bible’s answer: Let your “Yes” be “Yes.” God is not the author of confusion.
Bible: Matthew 5:37; 1 Corinthians 14:33
Mom Steps: Teach kids to speak plainly and truthfully. If something feels confusing, pause and pray for clarity.

(B) Law of Retribution

Claim: If a curse fails to land, it “returns” to the sender. This fuels obsessive precision and deep research into a victim’s weak points.
Bible’s answer: A curse without cause does not alight. There is no enchantment against God’s people.
Bible: Proverbs 26:2; Numbers 23:23
Mom Steps:

  • Pray daily protection over your family.

  • Teach kids to renounce lies and stand in Jesus’ name.


5) Bible Reality Check & Protection Prayers

  • Empty curses do not land. (Proverbs 26:2)

  • The LORD is a strong tower. (Proverbs 18:10)

  • He gives angels charge over you. (Psalm 91)

Daily Declarations (Say out loud):

  • “Jesus is Lord over this home.” (Philippians 2:9–11)

  • “No weapon formed against us shall prosper.” (Isaiah 54:17)

  • “Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)

Bedtime Prayer (Short & Simple):

“Lord Jesus, cover our sleep. Let Your angels stand guard. Close every door to darkness and fill this home with Your light and peace. Amen.”


6) Caring Well for Survivors (For Moms & Helpers)

  • Spiritual covering: Pray daily over family, home, pets, property, and vehicles.

  • Holy ground: Dedicate your home (and office, if you minister) to Jesus. Ask God to cleanse anything used as a “spiritual anchor.”

  • Discern objects: Ask the Lord if any item was placed to open a door. Remove it or pray over it.

  • Healthy boundaries: Avoid isolation; seek Bible‑anchored pastoral care and ethical counseling when needed.

  • Patient process: God doesn’t use magic or violate will. Progress can be two steps forward, one step back. Keep going.
    Bible: Ephesians 6:11–18; 2 Corinthians 10:4–5; Matthew 6:10

Home/Office Prayer:

“Lord Jesus, make this place holy ground. Cleanse it from all dark works. Expose lies, establish truth, and place a hedge of protection here. Let Your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Amen.”


7) Where This All Ends (Hope in Christ)

These systems end in judgment by the Creator. In Jesus, there is forgiveness, healing, and new life. He recreates what darkness tried to destroy.
Bible: Revelation 21:8; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Corinthians 15:57


8) Examples Often Cited (for awareness, not fear)

Many testimonies and teachings mention: Fundamentals of the Masonic Order; The Brotherhood; The Druids; The Brothers of the Sun; groups using the name “Illuminati”; The Sisters of Light; Sisters of Peace; Sisters of Mercy; The Earth Mothers; private voodoo ceremonies.
Bible: Ephesians 5:11; 2 Corinthians 6:17

Pastoral wisdom: Naming is not about panic—it’s about clarity for prayer and wise boundaries. Keep your eyes on Jesus.


9) Next Steps for Moms

  1. Read Psalm 91 aloud at home this week.

  2. Use the house blessing prayer to dedicate your space.

  3. Teach your kids Proverbs 3:5–6 and 1 John 4:4.

  4. Ask God about any object that feels “off.”

  5. Pray for your pastors and your children’s teachers by name.

  6. Keep a weekly rhythm of worship, Scripture, and communion at home.


10) FAQ (Very Simple Answers)

Q1: What if my child has scary dreams after we pray?
A: Keep praying. Read Psalm 91. Thank Jesus for His protection. Fear fades as peace grows. (John 14:27)

Q2: How do I explain “astral travel” to kids without scaring them?
A: Say: “Some people think they can travel with their mind. We belong to Jesus, and He keeps us safe. If you feel scared, call on Jesus.”

Q3: Are words really powerful?
A: Yes—words give life or harm. But God’s Word is highest. Speak Scripture out loud. (Proverbs 18:21; Matthew 4:4)

Q4: What if a gifted object feels wrong?
A: Ask God for wisdom. You can remove it or pray over it: “Lord, cleanse this in Jesus’ name—or show me to let it go.”
