In anamistic societies as well as amongst the New Agers Stateside, it is universally acknowledged that some people have the gift of seeing hearing experiencing spiritual enteties, while others don t. If the spirit sent to torment Saul was an evil spirit and I have interpreted it as a demeanour disposition till now then it would have had an intimate knowledge of Saul from observation.

1 Samuel 28 - the Witch of Endor- deceitful or successful?
Although I am now in Corinthians, the family Bible studies are a couple of weeks behind me and the kids were studying the Witch of Endor text the same week as Halloween. As I read the the yet again, I realised that Saul saw nothing and did not speak to Samuel. The witch was the voice of Samuel and she gave a verbal description of Samuel. Does this not requires us to have the witch "channeling" Samuel? This I think goes too far and I cannot see it being the real Samuel.
If the spirit sent to torment Saul was an evil spirit (and I have interpreted it as a demeanour/disposition till now)then it would have had an intimate knowledge of Saul from observation. Part of it's taunt was no doubt the loss of the kingdom - that taunt now continues through the Witch of Endor.
Jesus refused to accept testimony from demons and Paul cast out a demon that was effectively acting as his herald. I just cannot see the Witch of Endor as a legitimate way for God to speak. Not that I am saying He could not overrule but it just does not seem consistent - do you agree?

I think the problem that most Western folks have with this passage is their underlying naturalistic, anti-supernatural world views. We just don't see successful channeling in the West, so we think it does not exist. In anamistic societies as well as amongst the New Agers Stateside, it is universally acknowledged that some people have the "gift" of seeing/hearing/experiencing spiritual enteties, while others don't. In the West the majority of people are deaf and blind to these things. In other cultures it is not that way. It also varies with geography, as if there is a cloud hovering over Western society, perhaps because of a Godly history.
When I was in Thailand for a year and socialized with some Australians, a couple of us saw and heard spiritual realities while we were there, but this ceased when we returned to the States/Australia. It happened again on our returns to Bangkok. Other Westerners were as deaf and blind in Bangkok as what they were in the West. So Saul was deaf and blind, as were the guys with him. They were in the majority. The witch was "gifted", whatever that means.
There are other examples in scripture where long-dead people were seen and talked to. That isn't a problem. For me the problem comes in an evil person (the witch) conveying a godly message to Saul. The godly and the demonic seem to be all mixed up in the story. In most of the scriptural history the good and bad are obviously divided. It's black and white. This story as well as the one of the prohet who lied to another are examples of its not always being that way in real life. There is a book, The Beautiful Side of Evil, with the same theme, of "good" things happening as a result of demonic influence. The consequences, however, are evil, namely spiritual entrapment, selling one's soul for a mess of porridge.

Reviews for "Unraveling the Supernatural Powers of Magical Doll Heads"
1. Michelle - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Magical doll head. The quality of the product was really poor, with the doll's head feeling flimsy and cheap. The hair easily fell out and the overall construction seemed rushed. Additionally, the advertised "magical" abilities were non-existent. It was just a regular doll head with nothing special about it. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a magical or high-quality doll.
2. John - 1 star - The Magical doll head was a complete waste of money. I bought it for my daughter's birthday and she was so excited, but the excitement quickly turned into disappointment. Not only did the doll's head break within a day, but the promised magical features were anything but magical. The doll head was supposed to light up and play music, but it barely lasted a few seconds before dying out. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone, as it was a total letdown.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I purchased the Magical doll head with high hopes, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The doll head itself was poorly made, with rough edges and loose parts. The advertised magical features were also underwhelming. The supposed magical transformation was simply the doll's eyes changing color when you pushed a button, which quickly lost its novelty. Given the price of the product, I expected much better quality and more exciting magical elements. I cannot recommend the Magical doll head based on my experience.
4. Michael - 1 star - The Magical doll head was a complete disappointment. It arrived damaged, with several scratches and the hair tangled beyond repair. The quality of the materials used was subpar, with a flimsy and easily breakable construction. The so-called magic aspect was also a letdown, with the doll head only having a small light feature that barely worked. Overall, this product was a waste of money and definitely not worth the price.
