The world of the occult is believed to be mystical and mysterious, often associated with hidden powers and supernatural forces. One aspect of this realm that intrigues many is the concept of unseen occult raiment. Raiment, in this context, refers to clothing or attire worn with a specific purpose or intention. Unseen occult raiment transcends the physical limitations of ordinary clothing. It is said to possess a spiritual essence or energy that is invisible to the naked eye. Unlike regular garments, unseen occult raiment is believed to have the power to influence the spiritual realm or enhance the wearer's connection with unseen forces.

is somewhat different: to look at "witchcraft" and so-called "black magic" as it was actually practiced on the grassroots level by many people at many times who did not set themselves apart from Christianity or wish to start a separate religious movement like Wicca. This continues the objective of Raising the Devil: to look at Christian responses to satanism from an academic point of view. This perspective, however, is influenced on many levels by my own choice of faith, as I have served on Church Council and Stewardship Committees, volunteered in charitable activities, and on occasion taught adult Sunday school and led services. My daughter went to a Catholic-affiliated school from kindergarten to her high school graduation. As noted before, I am regularly called on to publicly "reject sin, the devil, and all his empty promises." Therefore I am inclined to respect those who express faith in Jesus Christ and follow His commandments to love God and neighbor.

ABSTRACT “PART II: Comparing the concept of Spirit and Soul in the Traditional Religion of the Akan and Ewe Tribes to that of the Bible” By Godwin Kwame Ofosuhene In the part one of my writing, with the titled “The concept of God in the traditional religion of Akan and Ewe ethnic groups compare to the Bible” - dated 31st May 2006, l explained how the Akan and Ewe ethnic groups of Ghana understood God in their traditional religious practices. Highlights of the first writing were, the African Traditional Religion, the life of the ethnic groups in Ghana; their beliefs, customs, ritual and taboos. Areas of interest to read in the part one was how Christianity has found an inroad into the lives of so many who were living in deep darkness and slavery to the evil powers. Also, how the Christian organizations help free women and girls from the grip of slavery. This condition is under a traditional religion belief called the “trokosi” system or “wives of the ancestral gods.” These ancestral gods lived in the spiritual world, which according to ATR, is the world populated by spirits. In the Ewe thought they are called Vodou (Vodu or Vudu in Benin and Togo; also Vodon, Vodoun, Voudou, or other phonetically equivalent spellings. In the part two of my writing, l will expand on the world populated by spirits called Vodou alongside that of the Akan. For this reason, l am writing on the topic, which says, “Comparing the concept of Spirit and Soul in the Traditional Religion of the Akan and Ewe Tribes to that of the Bible”. Despite the presence of Christianity, traditional religions in Ghana have retained their influence because of their intimate relation to family loyalties and local mores. The traditional cosmology expresses belief in a supreme being (referred to by the Akan as Nyame, or by the Ewe Mawu). The Supreme Being is usually thought of as remote from daily religious life and is, therefore, not directly worshipped. There are also the lesser gods that take “residency” in streams, rivers, trees and mountains. These gods are generally perceived as intermediaries between the Supreme Being and society. Ancestors and numerous other spirits are also recognized as part of the cosmological order. For all Ghanaian ethnic groups, the spirit world is considered to be as real as the world of the living. A network of mutual relationships and responsibilities links the duals worlds of the mundane and the sacred. The action of the living, for example, can affect the gods or spirits of the departed, while the support of family or “tribal” ancestors ensures prosperity of the lineage or state. Neglect, it is believed, might spell doom. Veneration of departed ancestors is a major characteristic of all traditional religions. The ancestors are believed to be the most immediate link with the spiritual world, and they are thought to be constantly near, observing every thought and action of the living. Some ancestors may even be reincarnated to replenish the lineage. Barrenness is, therefore, considered a great misfortune because it prevents ancestors from returning to life. To ensure that a natural balance is maintained between the world of the sacred and that of the profane, the roles of the chief within the state, family elders in relation to the lineage, and the priest within society, are crucial. The religious functions, especially of chiefs and lineage heads, are clearly demonstrated during such periods as the Odwira of the Akan, Hogbetsotso / Tedudu of the Ewe, the Homowo of the Ga-Adangbe, or the Aboakyir of the Efutu (coastal Guan), when the people are organized in activities that renew and strengthen relations with their ancestors. Such activities include the making of sacrifices and the pouring of libations. The religious activities of chiefs and lineage heads are generally limited to the more routine biweekly and annual festivities, but traditional priests – given their association with specific shrines – are regarded as specialized practitioners through whom the spirits of the gods may grant directions. Priests undergo vigorous training in the arts of medicine, divination and other related disciplines and are, therefore, consulted on a more regular basis by the public. Because many diseases are believed to have spiritual causes, traditional priests sometimes act as doctors or herbalists. Shrine visitation is strongest among the uneducated and in rural communities. These facts, however, does not necessary suggest that the educated Ghanaian has totally abandoned tradition; some educated and mission – trained individuals do consult traditional oracles in times of crises. Some scholars have rightly observed that the centre of gravity of Christianity is shifting from the West to “the two-thirds world,” that is Asia, South America and Africa. The reasons for this shift are varied and complex. However, the reasons for the growth of Christianity in Africa significantly include the way the Africans have attempted to deal with their threatening fears, especially witchcraft. Witchcraft has been a prevailing belief in African cultures and has continually posed problems for the African people groups. This dissertation will attempt to explore how deliverance ministry has replaced the anti-witchcraft shrines and the exorcistic activities of the African Indigenous Churches. Using Ghana as a case history, I shall evaluate this ministry to find out its positive and negative effects. I am going to use the research reports of Opoky Onyinah , which he carried out among Ghanaian Christians between 1997 and 1999. These included interviews he conducted with pastors, exorcists, traditional priests, so-called witches and delivered witches. The data also will include a survey he conducted in 1999 of 1201 participants across Ghana concerning the belief in the traditional spirit-world. In this paper, I’ll bring the understanding of African traditional adherents into the light of the Holy Scriptures; to explain what the Bible teaches about soul and spirit in relation to God and man. There are untold millions, which are outside the fold who need to come into the saving knowledge of Christ. Our duty is to preach the Word of God and trust the saving grace of Jesus Christ for conversion of souls. The writing of this paper is another opportunity given to me so that l would use my talents given by the Holy Spirit to help our relatives still under the worldview of Satan to see and come into the Light of Life. May the Lord assist us to know the truth and walk in it.

Additionally, various rituals and incantations may be performed during the creation process to imbue the clothing with unique qualities and energies. The purpose of unseen occult raiment can vary greatly depending on the individual or the specific occult practice.

Others may use them as tools to enhance their own abilities or channel specific energies for rituals and divination.
