Did you ever see anything clearly supernatural, such as a levitation, and not things on precarious edges moving?

I studied German and English Literature. During Uni we had an actual cultural studies seminar about Witchcraft in Media. We did stuff like Buffy, Charmed and also historical issues like the Pendle Witch Trials. I was hooked and then met a fellow student who was a "solitary witch". I got a bunch of books from her and started to really study Wicca. I even had some sort of initation ritual with said fellow student. This was during the time I also thought I was gay and genderfluid (and was overall really leftist). Only in 2020 I found my way back to the Catholic Faith. I can't wait to go to my first confession and get all this stuff off my chest.

Hey that's great Anika. I've only been to confession a few times since returning to the Church, so I could probably confess a whole lot more. As far as I know, you only need to confess certain types of sins like mortal sins that keep you from attending Church, but I've never had it fully explained to me, so I really don't know. God bless.

I hope you find a good sound priest to talk to. Some modernist priests don’t recognize the reality of the demonic attacks that come through magic, but as you are discovering, it is all very real. I said a confession and my priest said a deliverance prayer with me, and I instantly felt lighter - all the glamour of magic is a distraction from the real thing, which is God’s love. God bless you. 🙏❤️🙏

As a former witch and Priestess/shaman (for 13 YEARS) who is now enrolled in RCIA I would like to add how important it is to control the narrative that truth is relative. My parents left the church when I was 2 and proceeded to teach me that Catholics and Christians were filled with hatred for others because they couldn't accept that each individual has their own truth. I was encouraged to find my own truth and to rely on science to form it. This idea of truth being relative was reaffirmed by my peers, my teachers through grade school and college, as well as through the media. When I finally found my way to Christianity I realized that I couldn't accept Christianity previously because it presupposed that there was only one truth. Realizing that there can be only ONE TRUTH was like being given access to a new language that allowed me to read and understand the gospel for what it was meant to be. For the first time I could read the bible and draw the same conclusions as Christians. I also want to add that once you know there is only one truth you are forced to conclude that all witchcraft and new age practices are evil. There is no grey area. And I say this as someone who when practicing only 'white' magic (and tarot and communication with the dead) thought they were helping other people.

@@user-bl4lf9rg8m I would ask them about the 'undeniable truths' of this 'universe'. What direction is up? What about gravity? Certainly there are things we do not know, but we also cannot deny that there are undeniable truths that apply to all things conscious or not (thinking of plants which do not have a choice but are still subject to reality). Ask them to consider the differences between undeniable truth and 'personal truth'. I find from personal experience it is always better to pose questions that they will need to think on rather than forcing your own beliefs on them. Don't expect a big 'aha' moment in front of you. You should prepare for them to need some time to consider and come to terms with what you are proposing. You are asking them to redefine their interpretation of reality. That's not easy and if they realize that they were wrong they will likely be embarrassed and upset. Most people don't want to experience that in public. That and pray for them.

"Girls, be careful of your crush because they can crush your soul." 100% true! We often compromise way too much for relationships or the possibility of a relationship and it only hurts us and even could destroy us in the long run. And true love is based on honesty and we must present ourselves honestly about what we like and don't like what we stand for and what we are against.

Please pray for me brothers and sisters and if you could say three Hail Marys for me each day or even include me in your daily Rosaries, I am in need in a desperate way. I am a recidivist, relapsing habitual sinner committing mortal sin on a daily basis for 10 years but whats even worse is that I wasnt loving anyone but myself that entire time. My heart is hardened and I need prayers for my repentance and conversion and for my salvation. Thank you!

It astounds me how much of myself I see in this cause this was me. I even called myself a neopagan, and performed spells and even read and had tarot cards. This lasted 5 years, and now I see that I was wrong because none of it ever helped and I actually turned into a worse person. I dont know if you really follow Michael Knowles, but he actually interviewed a form astrological turned Christian on this exact same topic. I do pray that everyone who is trapped in New agenism finds their way out and back to the Lord. God bless, and keep doing the work you do love.

Hi Amber, I’m also 23 years old and it’s so refreshing someone the same age as me knows about Fr. Ripperger!

Hi Amber thank you for sharing your experience. Before coming back to Catholicism, last year, I went through something similar. I was very curious about crystals and herbs and tried to improve my life through them. I was looking for someone how read tarot cards and thank God I didn’t find. I threw away all the crystals and books and went to my local priest. I am so happy now! I finally feel at home, I have found a purpose in my life and a loving God. Thank you for your ministry!

I’m now over 60 but was heavily into astrology and tarot and manifesting and moon rituals and so much more for about 30 years. My daughter also became extremely interested in all of those things and still is. I discovered that she was into them before I was. Until I came back to the Catholic Church and started watching lots of informational KZread videos, I didn’t know why those things were bad, I was simply told they were bad, and I needed that extra piece of information in my discerning process because those who are explaining occult practices as a benefit are able to twist it, just enough, so that it makes sense and say it helps you connect with God’s will rather than becoming a door that allows diabolic influence. I would very much appreciate prayers for her to leave the occult and come back to a relationship with God. On a side note about crystals, they have no power in and of themselves. They do have a unique energetic frequency because of their chemical structure and composition which interacts with each person in a unique way because each person has a specific electric frequency from the electrical impulses that go through our body from the nervous system, cardiac system, etc. These can be scientifically measured (examples would be an EKG or an EEG and the use of quartz crystals in radios and watches).

I like your rosaries in the background.... I did a short on my channel on rosaries and of course protestants got mad... I'm just here for comfort lol

Oh wow, sheds a totally different light on you. It takes courage to publicly confess your misled past.

I liked that you said "the other side of the supernatural". When I came back to my faith after a similar experience with the occult and new age, I remember being very afraid of anything that sounded spiritual. I came back to the Catholic Church after realising that it had been right all along, but my faith looked a little protestant for a while, because I was a bit traumatised and wanted to be as dry as possible in my spiritual life. Eventually I received the courage that I needed and little by little lost the fear. The supernatural is such a real and important part of the world, but we must make sure to be guided by the wisdom found in the Church and not by the "wits" of the world when looking at it. Spiritual warfare is real, and yes, we must always be vigilant. Even people with the best intentions fall for these traps, so we must talk about these things in the Church, so that our little ones will recognise the evil and danger when they get exposed to them, or at least have an instinct to avoid them.

I’m so proud of you. Keep up the good work and pray for my daughter and I🙏🏼

Blessings on your spiritual journey Amber

Wow! I’m so amazed of how faithful you are to God after coming back from such a crazy group. I had a friend who i didn’t know was in the occult at the time and when i found out i was hoping it was just a phase, but she was pretty adamant about it being her “religion” and i realized i had to cut her out of my friendships. I’m so grateful that you’ve come back in such a strong and amazing way. I pray that others take your wisdom to heart and learn from their mistakes if they follow such things. God bless you, Amber! 🙏🏻😇

Amber, as you continue to shed the ways of your old life, remember to temper your interest in demonology. Curiosity is an easy avenue for the demons to cause a fall. Otherwise, it also attracts their attention. Consider how much of this knowledge is appropriate to your station and vocation. I say this as someone who was also once very interested in these things but I've since grown out of it. God be with you!

Speaking personally, studying demonology a bit has helped me immensely. I often go to pro abort protests and marches to film things that go down there to give to conservative media and I've struggled with hatred towards those people for their pride in their sins, and studying how demons work has helped alleviate that hatred because the afflicted people themselves are not the enemy and are in dire need of prayers. The hatred has been replaced more and more with sympathy and sorrow for them. I've also come to appreciate the need to say grace before eating a meal as I took great advantage of that before and was very lax about it. Adam Blai (a lay person who works with exorcists) wrote a book on his experiences and one account of a case he helped with was a young man going through a divorce who ended up demonically possessed, and through questioning of the demons the exorcism team found out that they got into him because his mother-in-law cursed his meal at their last Thanksgiving together as a family before the divorce was finalized. Of course, this knowledge should be buffered with study of other aspects of the faith so it doesn't turn into an unhealthy obsession as you said. Reading about the lives of saints is a great counterweight to feed one's hope.

I relate to you so much. I’m 22 and just last year I had my reversion. As a child I had a really strong faith. However as the years went by, problems at home made me mad at the Church and society in general fed me the idea that religion (specifically Catholicism) was to be hated. I used to engage in new age practices like manifesting, law of attraction, KZread tarot reading and all I can tell you is this stuff will simply reinforce the idea that you are you own god and that one makes the rules on morality. Relativism at its core. I would “manifest” lustful thoughts, adrenaline seeking experiences and just a whole bunch of wreckless behavior that lead to nothing. By the grace of God, I’m back to Jesus and seriously considering becoming a catechist🤍.

Thank you for sharing this Amber, it's so important for all ages to hear this. When I was 10 there were so many cool shows and movies about witches that I also wanted to be one, luckily my mother caught me looking at that stuff and I got in big trouble and I never looked at it again. Then in my 20s I went vegan for a few years for health reasons, I was really into nutrition and learned about ayurveda.... which lead to yoga, crystals, chakras, and all that "safer occult stuff" in the name of "bettering oneself". This was basically the same witchcraft that lured me in when I was 10, just in a sweeter looking package. My faith was very weak/ Luke- warm during this time. Not long after, I finally snapped out of it, got very serious about my faith, and fully returned to the church. Thank God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit for answering my prayers when I felt so lost. Seek the Lord and He'll lead you out of whatever darkness is trying to overtake you. And also don't fool yourself, none of the occult practices are "safe," it's all a trick Satan uses to lure us in, don't fall for it! ☺️

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I look back and cringe at some of the stuff I got involved with mainly looking for health answers.

Thanks,God bless you

Excellent video! Ghost Hunters was one of my favorite shows for a lot of years although I always viewed it from a Catholic perspective

So relatable thanx amber!

Great video, Amber. There's still a lot of people doing Tarot cards these days. Even students at my university do Tarot cards which is really sinful and sad. Shows how prevalent occult stuff really is.

Love your channel very much keep your faith and god love to pray the rosary as a Lutheran

Such important witness to help young people recognize themselves and stay far far away from all of that.

The occult was becoming popular when I was in highschool as well (not too long before you were in highschool...about five years). There were also tons of teen fiction books with demons in them (super creepy too) that my friends tried to get me to read. I honestly hated all of it and sadly, lost some dear friends. But I thank God for protecting little naive me. You're right, it's everywhere and it's being normalized. Thank you for sharing.

I'm glad you're talking about your past and your more flawed side... Honestly? Catholic channels run by people who come off as TOO pure just make me feel bad about myself, and I eventually stop watching their videos as much as when I first discovered them....👀

Excellent thanks 😊

I went through the exact same thing with Yoga, crystals and the third eye and other dimensions. I've really come back to the church recently. So glad you're talking about this subject!. The weird thing is, our house is haunted. I'm almost wondering if that's why I went so deep down that rabbit hole.

As a Catholic and a Horror fan my experience is different. Over the course of my life I've learned how to separate the two things. It's because Ive learned the deep beautiful truths of my faith. I've learned all the things that every catholic should be informed of regarding the dangers of the new age movement, the occult, and how to be very discerning regarding spiritual matters. I've learned how to take horror movies as stories...some more extreme than others well admitted, but nonetheless knowledge is key. "Know thy enemy"....the more a catholic knows how to discern what is of God and what isn't the more a catholic can put things of the world in their place. I'm a horror fan who has put horror movies in their proper place....and who loves Jesus and the Blessed Mother because I've learned the faith. We all need to learn the faith. Thank you for this informative video....I will share it with others who need to be warned of the dangers of the occult.

It was lovely to hear a little more about your story. For me I would have preferred to fall in to the new age rather than the nihilism that fell into when I ran away from the faith, at least then I would have believed in something.

Same here, I completely relate!! 🙏🏻❤️

Yeah amber! I was there too. Before I reverted to Catholicism, I researched some similar practices that you mentioned: the law of attraction, yoga, manifesting, and not to mention I was into Harry Potter at a younger age. Praise God those didn’t stick around for too long. I remember feeling so weird. Back then too (when I was like 12 maybe). I remember wanting to “Lucid Dream” (where you are conscious that you are dreaming) because I saw it on KZread, and I wanted to have control in my dream so I could have magical powers like I read in fantasy books. It looked pretty cool up until I got sleep paralysis for a some time, which was pretty darned terrifying. Now I look back with back with regret and forward with joy that the Lord has brought me out of those places for a much more fulfilled life.

Hi Amber! Monsignor Steven Rosetti's deliverance prayers helped me! And they are all on his website. Although I didn't finish one of the prayers with a deacon, I felt delivered from this weird fatigue that slowly started possessing me over a couple year span. But for 1 week earlier this year, I felt like myself again...energized! But because I didn't finish the prayer, it came back but not as crippling. I too thought yoga was harmless. Before I was aware and awakened to the portals that can be opened, I allowed my sister-in-law to do a tarot-card reading in my house. I do believe that's when I got possessed with this sort of "strange fatigue. I now believe that one must continue to pray the prayers, like a celebration, a practice, one must not stop and think "I've done it". Just like with "Total consecration to Mary, Joseph, the family" one must constantly "renew them". Unfortunately, easier said than done because we all go through spiritual laziness, don't we? The fervor seems to leave and we get lax in our prayer life.

The occult, voodoo, witchcraft and all that is on the rise. We gotta pray and stay vigilant.

Thank you for this video. I have sooooo many questions, but to keep it short. Do you feel it important to avoid these tv shows/ movies, just from the ‘vibes’ these things can bring upon? And could you go in depth about yoga?

I was inspired from the movie The Rite and it lead me to study deliverance and exorcism. That movie strengthen my faith.

You are hilarious and so very smart for someone your age.

Hi Amber My promised Christmas gift is on its way. Should reach U in a about 10 days Thanks for your commentary Regards Roland

Yikes. Super helpful. Didn't know how popular all that dark stuff got.

The counterfeit of the crystals is so interesting since the Bible is full of rocks as symbols and even precious gemstones mentioned with significance. It makes me think of scriptures about Christ being the chief cornerstone of the church and using St. Peter as the rock to build His church on. Also, “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.” “The LORD is my rock and my salvation.”

I was about 13 yrs old & brought home a couple of books on witchcraft out of curiosity. Thank God my Mom saw me carrying the books & asked, "What are those about?". I told her & the look on her face really scared me as she said, "DON'T EVER READ NOR DABBLE IN THAT STUFF, ITS FROM SATAN"! Being brought up in the church, when she said satan, that was it, I NEVER open either book & returned them to the library! So many adults have not been brought up in the Christian faith, so I would see no harm for their children in occult & they may get into it themselves! It is soooo important to bring your children up in the Christian Faith. They are our future & what about their future???

I definitely relate to this especially thinking there was good witches and bad ones 🤦🏻‍♀️ No, you're either for God or you're against God.

I think that often people are drawn towards "new age" spirituality when they're going through some type of dark night of the soul or period of weakened faith, so that we can find our ways back to God and be reminded of the fact that He's always with us even in the darkest times. Learning about and experiencing other religious traditions has helped solidify my trust in God and has helped me understand Him on a deeper level. Everything does happen for a reason and sometimes we have to get lost to find ourselves. I don't judge those practicing new age spirituality, being Christian doesn't make us better than them. But I do understand that it is indicitive of a lower spiritual understanding and pray that those people find their way as I did.

I took a demon studies class in college (it counted as "English") at a time when my faith was pretty darn weak, but my interest in exorcisms did end up helping bring me back to the faith in my early 20s. Definitely not something I'd recommend for college kids to do but glad it worked out in my own life haha

Just ordered the Diary of American exorcist, will join my set of many books about occult and exorcism. Appreciate the recommendation 🙏🏻 I have quite a similar background as you, however I was even interested in Ayahuasca/DMT sessions and other entheogenic psychedelic drugs (means god within), when looking for the "secrets" of life. Those are extemely dangerous for our souls and can easily lead even faithful astray. Similar to mantra meditations and other practices. Since the one single moment, which I will remeber my entire life, God touched me by his finger and saved me from entering the realms we should never ever enter. I became to study the faith and became devout Catholic, studyiny these topics to be able to explain the dangers of new age and occult to others. I also got into catholic apologetics as it goes hand by hand when fighting the satanic. When I pray my rosary, I always keep praying for the people I know, who got caught in occult or entities and believe the demons. They are all masqueraded as angels of light.

Welcome to November Amber.

Please pray for my best friend Taylor whom I've known for 17 years - since kindergarten. Today she is a witch who worships "Pluto", has traveled into doing "dark magic", and is engaged to marry another witch who started transgender hormones recently. As kids I had no foundation in Catholicism, and she was barely exposed to it during the same time. Recently, I am more solid in my faith and finally understand the basics of what it means to be a Catholic. A week or two ago I decided to put my foot down and tell her the witchcraft and the LGBT stuff is no good, and she completely cut me off from her and her family - people whom I considered as my own family. I ask you to help me pray to St. Monica for Taylor's reversion. She has told me that she would rather go to hell because she wants nothing to do with God - whom she sees as the bad guy. Despite those horrible mindsets, I am confident that God will do the impossible if I persistently advocate for the necessity of her reversion. And if many faithful people beg on her behalf, "Pluto" doesn't stand a chance.

Please watch Jay Dyer! I think you'd benefit from his material on Roman Catholic theology

I had a brief fling with Norse Paganism.

Thank you for the video, it was interesting! I'm not a Christian but a pagan and i feel like telling something about it. I used to be a Christian. Over time, my faith made me mentally ill and i was sure i'm going to hell. I don't mean to attack Christianity at all by telling this, this is just my personal experience and i'm sure many people will find Christianity important. I'm from Finland and i have always been interested in the mythology of Finland. Last year i decided to become a pagan. I worship the spirits and gods of the nature. This has become an important part of my life. For me, nature is on the same level as people or maybe even higher. The spirits and gods are not absolute evil or good, they are quite neutral. Once a week i go to a river close to me and say a spell. It's for the spirits of the nature and i try to give them strength in this ecological crisis. Environmentalism is very important for me and paganism has given me strength for acting on behalf of our planet. My way of paganism doesn't have much rules. Still, that doesn't mean that i can do anything i wan't. Evil things such as racism, sexism and so are all human made constructions. Or that's what i believe. They aren't neutral so the lack of rules don't lead to these bad things. I can make my own rules using empathy. I rather try to be a good person to others because i care about them and not because some spirit orders me to do it. But that just me, i don't mean that this is the only way. You can do it the Christian way too. Thanks for reading and thanks for the video!

My past ist terrible. Lk 19,10 "Denn der Menschensohn ist gekommen, um zu suchen und zu retten, was verloren ist." Luke 19 ,10 "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."

I still supported pro-life causes and such, I always knew that I shouldn't mess with Satanism etc. I even believed that Satanists were evil because Satan wants damnation for mankind, and in no way should that be tolerated (even from an atheistic view). So yeah, Thanks MoM!

Okay but we need the haunted house story!

please can you do a video on judaism so we can help them convert

Great that Jesus protected you for worse. All my trust is in Jesus.

Yeah before I reverted, I was legitimately obsessed with the occult and I would wake up everyday and watch videos of ppl like Sam & Colby on utube doing séances or conjuring up demons. Even in class at school I’d keep watching cause I was so obsessed but eventually I started seeing demons around my house and following me so I freaked and completely stopped. All my experiences with paranormal were a massive part of me returning to my faith so that’s great 👍

"yoga and manifesting and all that crap" I lol'd

Hello, Amberさん Thank you for your great works. I love watch your videos a lot. I am in a class at a church to be baptized this year. I am looking for your mug cup of St Francis you have as your co host all over the world but been rejecting for I am a Japanese living in Japan. Is there any way that I can buy it here from in Japan online? I often your night time runtime video a lot for it gives me a science of peace. You are very beautiful. Have a blessed summer 🎐✨🍹🫧🎐✨🎐✨😇Love from Japan 🇯🇵🍊

Tales to astonish

Witchcraft It's real and dangerous. Thank God for mercy.

I was told certain yoga or Christian based yoga is okay like Iganitian yoga. Meditation is also alright as Jesus practiced meditation

I was convicted by the Holy Spirit to stop doing and teaching yoga. I then threw away 3 garbage bags full of occult items and books- many of them gifts people gave me. Any time I threw something away, someone would end up giving me a shaman mask or something. Lol. Weird. Shortly after the purge- God led me to Catholicism.

Have you ever looked into or considered deliverance ministry as a lay person that supports exorcists?

WHAT SOME SAINTS SAY ABOUT BLAST FATHER PIO: "Blasphemy draws God's curse on your home and is the safest way to go to hell." SAN GIROLAMO: "Any other sin becomes light compared to blasphemy" SAN G. CHRISOSTOM: "Remember, O son of the Lord, that the tongue of the blasphemer is the Devil's carriage." SANT'AGOSTINO: "The blasphemy is even more serious than the killing of Jesus Christ by the Jews because the crucifiers of Jesus did not know what they were doing and did not know Jesus as the true God, while the blasphemers usually know what they say and know who God is." SAN BERNARDO DI CHIARAVALLE: "All other sins arise more or less from frailty or ignorance, but blasphemy proceeds from wickedness." SANT'ANTONIO DI PADOVA: “In the face of parents who mourn for their dead child, I pray the Lord to raise him up; before the poverty of a father who asks me for a piece of bread to feed his children, I am moved and pray to God that it will be provided for him; but before spouses who want a child and are blasphemers, I pray the Lord that a deaf and mute child will be born to them: deaf so as not to hear the blasphemies of the parents and mute so that he does not repeat them! " SAN BERNARDINO DA SIENA: "The tongue of the blasphemer is a sword that pierces the heart of God." "Blasphemy is the greatest sin that there is greater than pride, murder, anger, lust and gluttony. The blasphemer's tongue is a sword that pierces the Name of God."
