Witchcraft is no longer hiding in the shadows. From Disney movies and social media to manifestation, astrology, and New Age spirituality, occult practices are becoming increasingly normalized in mainstream culture. In this episode of Cultish, Jeremiah Roberts sits down with former occultist and author Jac Marino to explore the rise of modern witchcraft, its growing influence on popular culture, and the spiritual deception lurking behind its promises of empowerment, healing, and enlightenment.

Why is witchcraft becoming so appealing in today's culture?

What happens when the pursuit of spiritual power leads deeper into darkness?

Drawing from her experiences with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, ritual magic, spirit guides, and ceremonial invocations, Jac exposes the lies that once held her captive. Together, they unpack the ancient deception behind modern occultism, the dangerous allure of forbidden knowledge, and the false promise of self-salvation. Ultimately, Jac shares how the truth of the gospel shattered the darkness and revealed that genuine freedom and redemption are found in Jesus Christ alone.
