Notice God's warnings against mediums and familiar spirits: \Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God" (Leviticus 19:31). The Creator God plainly states that we should avoid mediums and spiritists. He does not want you to be defiled by evil influence. Notice His strong language: "The person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God" (Leviticus 20:6–7).

Dangers of the Occult
Are witchcraft, astrology and spiritism just harmless hobbies, or are they deceptive sources of information and guidance? Many do not realize that the occult now pervades modern culture, and that Christians must remain on guard against its evil influence.
Millions are pursuing astrology, witchcraft and the occult. Are they sowing seeds of doom and destruction? Are these just harmless hobbies, or can you face real dangers if you dabble in the occult?
Less than three months after its release, the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone became the second-highest-grossing film ever, selling nearly $1 billion of tickets to theatergoers eager for a tale of witchcraft, wizardry and the occult. The first of seven installments in author J. K. Rowling's planned series, Harry Potter is at the helm of a multi-billion-dollar media empire that has made Rowling one of the three highest-paid women in Great Britain. Her books have sold more than 60 million copies in 200 countries around the world.
Yet, for many, the occult is more than fiction. A May 2000 Zogby America poll revealed that 57.7 percent of Americans aged 18–29 believe in ghosts. This phenomenon is not confined to the United States; Time Magazine reported recently that belief in ghosts is shared by 45 percent in Britain. Melbourne's Saturday Herald Sun reported that 46 percent of Australian women, and 34 percent of Australian men, believe in ghosts (January 16, 1999). Leger Marketing reported in October 2001 that 30.2 percent of Canadians believe in ghosts.
In Rowling's books, characters routinely interact with ghosts. Harry communicates with his dead parents through a special mirror. Characters seek guidance from astrologers, cast occult spells and use their paranormal powers to fight their enemies. The Bible condemns this as sorcery, yet it is a part of the ordinary world of Harry Potter. The Harry Potter series teaches young minds a false and evil worldview in which occult powers, condemned in Scripture, can be used as tools for good.
Sadly, instead of condemning the dangerous and un-biblical world of witches and wizards, some churches and clergy have tried to exploit its appeal to youth. Last year, a vicar in one English church held a special "Harry Potter liturgy." A serpent was hung in the church, while a clergyman wearing a wizard's robe led the service. Other elements of the Harry Potter story were brought into the church service. Incredibly, many other pastors expressed interest in having that liturgy for their own churches.
What have the world's churches come to? As one American commentator observed: "Nobody respects a religious institution willing to compromise willy-nilly with the secular culture, on a fool's quest for popularity. A church that will try anything stands for nothing!" (Rod Dreher, New York Post, Sept. 5, 2000).
Today's media fascination with the occult extends far beyond Harry Potter. Thirty-five years ago, many considered the television series Bewitched controversial. Today, it seems tame compared to such popular television fare as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Charmed, which glamorize the occult.
And the occult is not just for teenagers or couch potatoes. Even leaders of nations pursue the occult. Former White House chief of staff Donald Regan reported, in his autobiography For the Record, that President Ronald Reagan's travels and activities were approved by an astrologer of his wife's choosing. The London Daily Telegraph reported that former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher consulted an astrologer "for signs of future dangers." Most members of India's Parliament have personal astrologers on retainer. Even in the former Soviet Union, once a bastion of materialism, the occult holds sway, as Russia is "swamped by astrologers, UFOlogists, soothsayers, parapsychologists, bogus doctors and other charlatans, whom genuine scientists make few efforts to contradict.… One of the main tasks of a senior official in the Presidential Security Service is to study astrology and prepare horoscopes" (London Daily Telegraph, July 29, 1996).
In addition to the calendar section, the planner also includes sections for journaling, goal-setting, and ritual planning. These sections allow individuals to reflect on their spiritual journey, set intentions, and plan ceremonies or rituals to honor their beliefs. The planner provides prompts and suggestions to guide users through this process, making it accessible to both beginners and experienced practitioners. Furthermore, the Pagan Planner 2023 features pages dedicated to Pagan holidays and traditions, offering information on their history, symbolism, and ways to celebrate. This serves as a resource for those who wish to deepen their knowledge and practice of the Pagan faith. Overall, the Pagan Planner 2023 is a valuable tool for individuals who want to incorporate their spirituality into their daily lives. Its visually appealing design, incorporation of natural cycles, and educational resources make it a comprehensive guide for those who follow the Pagan path. With this planner, individuals can organize their lives while staying connected to their spiritual beliefs and practices..

1. Samantha - 2 stars:
I was really excited to get the "Pagan Planner 2023" because I'm interested in pagan traditions and wanted a planner that aligned with my beliefs. However, I was disappointed with the content of this planner. While it had some basic information about pagan holidays and moon phases, it lacked depth and meaningful insights. The weekly calendar pages were cluttered and difficult to read, and the overall design felt uninspired. I believe there are better pagan planners out there that offer more comprehensive and engaging content.
2. David - 3 stars:
As someone who follows a pagan path, I was excited to get the "Pagan Planner 2023" to help me organize my spiritual practices. However, the quality of this planner left much to be desired. The pages were thin, and ink bled through easily, making it difficult to write and read notes. Furthermore, the illustrations and graphics included were not appealing or representative of pagan aesthetics. While the planner offered some useful information on pagan holidays and rituals, I was left wanting more depth and practical guidance. Overall, it fell short of my expectations.
3. Sarah - 2 stars:
I purchased the "Pagan Planner 2023" hoping it would provide a unique and insightful way to structure my spiritual practices throughout the year. Unfortunately, this planner was a letdown. The information provided about various pagan traditions was quite basic and lacked nuance. The design and layout of the planner were also cumbersome and confusing. It felt like an unorganized collection of information rather than a cohesive guide. I would not recommend this planner to my fellow pagan practitioners looking for a comprehensive and well-designed tool.
