In the dimly lit corners of the occult, the search for power, meaning, and immortality can lead down a path far darker than fiction. This is not a dramatization but the testimony of "Christian," a former practitioner of Wicca, witchcraft, and Satanism whose journey to the brink of spiritual annihilation reveals the terrifying mechanics of black magic and the startling reality of divine intervention. His story is a stark map of a forbidden territory: the demonic contract.

Stage 1: The Descent – From Curiosity to Control

The journey began not with malevolence, but with boredom and a profound, existential question. As a teenager isolated in rural Canada, Christian’s obsession with immortality—the purpose of life and death—led him from nature-based Wicca into the more potent realm of witchcraft.

1. The Lure of Efficacy: While Wiccan spells were hit-or-miss, witchcraft delivered tangible results. He performed simple money spells, finding cash on the ground. As a hockey player, he used spells to increase his assists and goals, seeing a direct correlation between his incantations and his performance. This wasn't fantasy; it was a cause-and-effect reality that hooked him. He had discovered a "hidden secret" of the universe that seemed to work.
2. The Turn Toward Darkness: However, fueled by deep-seated anger and hatred toward his family and the world, Christian’s focus shifted. He wasn't interested in love or wealth spells. He was drawn to curses. His mantra became: "If you mess with me, I'll give it back to you times three." He would befriend people, waiting for a perceived slight to justify a retaliatory curse. These curses worked—people fell ill, marriages crumbled. The power was real, and it fed his pride and sense of control.

Stage 2: The Pact – The Business of the Demonic

Feeling limited, Christian sought more power. This led him to satanism and, crucially, direct communication with entities via a Ouija board.

1. "Friendly" Guides: The entities presented themselves as friends, allies, and teachers. They appealed to his pride, telling him he was "chosen." This is a consistent deception: demons masquerade as benefactors.
2. The Transactional Truth: The central revelation of his testimony shatters a common myth. He learned that the magician does not control the Jinn/demons. The opposite is true. It is a business transaction, a barter system where the more powerful entity (the demon) agrees to perform services for a price.
3. The Price is Worship: What do demons want? They cannot use money or credit cards. Their currency is subservience, humiliation, and the corruption of the human soul. They crave the worship they were denied from Adam. They seek to misguide humans away from God. Christian describes how they would demand increasingly depraved, sacrilegious, and vile acts—grave robbery, blood sacrifice, self-defilement—not because these materials were magically potent, but because the act of performing them was an act of worship and humiliation that thrilled the demonic entity. The practitioner, thinking he is gaining power, is in fact becoming a slave, selling his soul piece by piece for temporal power.

Stage 3: The Red Line and the Withdrawal

The transaction has tiers. As Christian "advanced," his demonic instructors revealed the next price for greater power:

1. The Destruction of Innocence: The sexual or spiritual corruption—or even sacrifice—of a child.
2. The Death of Love: The murder of the person he loved most in the world.

Faced with these ultimatums, Christian’s innate morality, however buried, rebelled. "I wanted nothing to do with it," he states. This refusal to cross the ultimate ethical boundary marked his exit from active satanism. He attempted to flee into a haze of drugs and alcohol, trying to numb the reality of the world he had unlocked. However, you cannot simply resign from a demonic contract. The other party still holds your signature.

Stage 4: The Attack – Collecting on a Condemned Soul

Christian believed walking away was the end. He was wrong. The entities, knowing he had severed his pact but had not turned to God, saw him as a guaranteed condemned soul. If he died in that state, he was theirs for eternity. His testimony suggests they orchestrated an event to claim that soul.

In 2006, acquaintances—under what he describes as a demonic influence and a twisted interpretation of his past satanic boasts—attempted to murder him, believing him to be the "antichrist" who needed to be stopped before the date 6/6/06. In the brutal physical struggle, facing imminent death, Christian cried out a desperate, foundational prayer: "If there's a God at all in this world… please save me."

In that moment of pure, helpless petition, Divine Intervention broke through. He felt a surge of strength, disabled his attackers, and escaped. Immediately after, with no theological deliberation, he knew with certainty which God had answered: Jesus Christ. He dropped to his knees, confessed his sins, and gave his life to Christ. The contract was broken by a higher authority.

Stage 5: The Aftermath – Spiritual Warfare and the Nature of the Battle

His conversion did not end the war; it changed the battlefield. The attacks became overtly spiritual:

1. Haunting and Manifestation: A week later, in his apartment, he experienced a direct demonic assault. His door was physically battered as if to break in, yet no one was there. He was confronted by a presence "blacker than black," a void that seemed to consume light—a classic manifestation of profound evil.
2. The Christian Weapon: Terrified, he reached out to a Christian friend. She didn't offer herbs or counter-spells; she engaged in spiritual warfare prayer: binding the demons in Jesus' name, casting them out, and covering Christian in a hedge of protection. The result was an immediate, palpable peace—the Holy Spirit—that dispelled the terror and allowed him to rest. He learned the new rules of engagement: "The word of God is the sword."

Lessons from the Abyss

Christian’s testimony is not just a shocking story; it is an intelligence briefing from behind enemy lines.

1. Magic is a Transaction, Not a Superpower: It is a barter system where the soul is the currency. The practitioner is the customer, but ultimately, the servant.
2. The Goal is Eternal Separation: The demonic agenda is not just to cause earthly trouble but to eternally sever a human from God. A soul engaged in or influenced by witchcraft is their primary target.
3. There is Always a Red Line: The path escalates toward the ultimate atrocities. A refusal at this point often leads to severe retaliation, as the invested entities seek to claim what they feel is owed.
4. Divine Rescue is Real: The testimony powerfully argues that a sincere cry for help to the Divine, even from the depths of satanism, is heard. The power of Jesus Christ’s name is presented not as a religious slogan, but as an authoritative, disruptive force in the spiritual realm that demons are compelled to obey.
5. The Battle Confirms the Reality: The intense spiritual attacks after his conversion confirm the reality of the forces he was dealing with. They didn't bother him when he was theirs; they attacked fiercely when he escaped to the ultimate Protector.

Conclusion: A Warning and a Hope

Christian’s journey from Satanist to saved is a modern-day parable. It demystifies black magic, exposing it as a cruel, transactional sham that promises power but delivers slavery and aims at the soul's destruction. His story serves as a severe warning to those dabbling in the occult: you are not in control; you are negotiating with predators.

Yet, it culminates in a profound hope: no contract written in the darkness is stronger than a cry for light. No power extracted from demons can withstand the authority of the Divine. His testimony stands as a witness that rescue is possible, that the soul can be reclaimed, and that the ultimate victory belongs not to the shadows, but to the Light that dispels them.
