'Welcome to the First Annual Christian Witches Convention!'

'Welcome to the First Annual Christian Witches Convention!'

This is not a hoax.

"The first annual Christian witches convention is set to be hosted in Salem, Massachusetts, this April and will feature internationally recognized Prophet Calvin Witcher who agrees with the convention’s host that Jesus was a sorcerer and the Bible is really a “book of magic.” The Rev. Valerie Love, the force behind the event who describes herself as a practicing Christian witch and an ordained minister of spiritual consciousness, recently launched the Covenant of Christian Witches Mystery School to help Christians tap into magic, which critics are condemning as “dangerous.” She insists there is nothing wrong with the idea of Christians practicing magic despite biblical warnings against it. In an extended discussion with Witcher approximately two months ago on reconciling the practice of witchcraft and Christianity, Witcher, whose website says he “brings God’s messages to humanity through powerful teaching and training, allowing non-traditional followers to hear the divine voice of hope,” said the Bible is a “huge book of sorcery.”

I'm wondering what took em so long? It will become an annual tradition for the town of Salem, Massachusetts and maybe help bring healing to that area that is a blight on our national history. Most of the accused burned in the Salem witch trials weren't really witches to begin with. Still, an appropriate place to hold an annual convention IMHO.

I might go if I lived closer out of pure fascination for a Christian aspect of the occult.

Christian Witch is a good description of the early Joseph Smith, Jr. :lol:

Please, oh please, tell me that that's the last name he was born with. Talk about the most appropriate name in history!

They stacked rocks on them or hanged them, I believe. Burning at the stake is left to Hollywood.

It's a fun topic, AmyJo. Thanks.

Yep. Nineteen hanged. One pressed, not for being a witch, but for refusing to enter a plea.

Nobody has EVER been a witch in the sense of the word as understood in European and early American witch trials - a person who has entered into a league with Satan in order to be given magic power to harm their neighbours in terms for his dominion over their souls.

Because:

(a) Satan is as imaginary as Santa.

(b) People don't have souls.

(c) Magic powers do not exist.

Just thought I'd mention those points. By the way, witch-hunters came down pretty hard on people who said they didn't believe in witches. You know, party poopers and all that stuff?
