Witch Numbers on the Rise in USA

Sorry for lack of activity since last Tuesday but I was out of state and away from all computers.

This headline shouldn’t surprise us too much as USA continues to drift away from God and reverence for His Word.  People have a need to worship and believe in something beyond themselves. Jesus said you are either for him or against him...and Wiccans, pagans and witches are definitely against Jesus of the Bible.

A report in the Christian Post contends that the number of witches (and Wiccans) has dramatically increased since the 1990s, to the degree that there may be at least 1.5 million witches in the United States, which is higher than the 1.4 million mainline Presbyterians.

"[T]he practice of witchcraft has grown significantly in recent decades; those who identify as witches has risen concurrently with the rise of the 'witch aesthetic,'" reported the Christian Post in October, citing data from Quartz, a Trinity College study, and the Pew Research Center.
Between 1990 and 2008, the number of Wiccans in the United States grew from 8,000 to 340,000, according to three religious surveys conducted by Trinity College in Connecticut. In addition, the Pew Research Center reported in 2014 that 0.4% of the population -- 1 to 1.5 million Americans -- "identify as Wicca or Pagan."
