We may not think to be rebellious or that witchcraft is a sin, but scripture teaches us that it is. Today the following of witchcraft is fast becoming more and more popular, especially with the younger generation. Who would ever think to be stubborn is considered idolatry. When Saul rebelled against the Lord he was kept from being king because of it (1 Samuel 15:23-26). 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD. 26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.

The enemy of our soul always packages sin to look and seem like such fun. Alot of people follow astrology and use ouija boards, not knowing the harm they are doing themselves.
