How I Fell Into the Occult…And Came Out of It | From Occult to Orthodoxy Series (Part 1) | Ep. 114
I never set out to reject God.
I was searching for healing, truth, and freedom.
In this first episode of a brand-new series, I share how I fell into the occult through New Age spirituality—and how Christ ultimately pulled me out of it.
What began as “self-healing,” manifestation, yoga, feminism, and spiritual empowerment slowly became bondage. I believed I was awakening, aligning, and reclaiming my power… but the deeper I went into the occult and New Age world, the darker and more broken my life became.
This video is a SNAPSHOT of my testimony—from the occult to Christ.
✨ What this series will cover:
- Manifestation vs prayer
- “The universe” vs a personal God
- Divine feminine spirituality vs the Theotokos
- Trauma healing vs repentance and asceticism
- Energy vs grace
- Self-deification vs theosis
- And so much more (comment a topic you want me to cover if you have one!)
