It's Thursday, December 11th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark UK Supreme Court: Religious education in Ireland unlawful The U.K. Supreme Court ruled last month that religious education in Northern Ireland is unlawful. State-funded primary schools in Northern Ireland currently include religious education in the curriculum. Schools also have a time of daily worship. However, the U.K. Supreme Court ruled the curriculum was not “objective, critical and pluralistic.” In response, Christian Concern is defending Christian education in schools. Listen to comments from Steve Beegoo, Head of Education at Christian Concern.  BEEGOO: “Parents, don't retreat. There is an authority that is truly higher than even our courts that we must appeal to and that we must obey. We must stand for truth and to obey Jesus Christ.” In Matthew 19:14, Jesus said, “Let the children come to Me, and do not hinder them.” Fewer British Christians, more pagans The Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life released a new survey on adults in Britain who changed religion.  Christianity experienced the most losses with people usually becoming atheist. Islam saw a modest net gain, mostly from Christianity. Also, movements like Paganism, Wicca, and broad spiritualism saw noticeable growth.  The study said, “Media reports over the past decade document a visible revival of Pagan and Wiccan practices in Britain, particularly among women over 30 and those disillusioned with organized religion but seeking ethical and emotional coherence.” Isaiah 8:19-20 says, “And when they say to you, ‘Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,' should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Spanish court acquits 21 pro-lifers A court in Spain acquitted 21 pro-life activists on Tuesday. Authorities had arrested the pro-lifers back in 2022 for praying outside an abortion mill. They were participating in a 40 Days for Life prayer chain in the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz. The ruling stated, “There is no doubt that the defendants did nothing more than exercise their right to free assembly. … The defendants conducted themselves at all times in an exemplary, peaceful manner.” 71 U.S. abortion mills closed this year In the United States, 23 independent abortion mills closed this year as of October. That's up from 12 closures last year. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, 100 locations closed. Independent abortion mills are not affiliated with Planned Parenthood and account for 58% of abortions in the U.S.  Life News reports that Planned Parenthood has closed 48 locations so far this year. Dept. of Justice supports Christian students who spoke truth The U.S. Department of Justice supported two Christian students on Monday in a court case involving transgenderism. Virginia's Loudoun County School Board previously suspended the two male students. They had simply objected to a girl, pretending to be a boy, in their locker room. Harmeet Dhillon is Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Justice Department. She said, “Loudoun County's decision to advance and promote gender ideology tramples on the rights of religious students who cannot embrace ideas that deny biological reality.” Frustrated homesellers pulling homes off market Realtor.com released their November 2025 Monthly Housing Market Trends Report. The report found that home prices are rising in traditionally affordable metros. Meanwhile, expensive metros are seeing price drops. The market has also seen record de-listings as frustrated sellers pull their homes off the market without a sale. Realtor.com noted, “One home was de-listed for about every 3 to 4 new listings nationally.” Fellowship of Christian Athletes distributed 244,000 Bibles this year And finally, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes distributed over 244,000 Bibles this year across the U.S. and 68 other countries. That's up from 219,000 last year.  The achievement is due to 900 FCA camps worldwide, 23,000 huddle groups, and about 400 FCA sports club teams.  A Fellowship of Christian Athletes spokesman told The Christian Post, “FCA's overarching aim is to reach coaches and athletes with the Gospel, help them grow spiritually and then enable them to help others do the same. We believe this spiritual foundation extends beyond sports, positively influencing teammates, schools, families and entire communities.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, December 11th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Some houses are cluttered. This one was choked. Boxes stacked to the ceiling, decades of junk, crystals piled in buckets, and a revolving door of belief systems—Christianity, Catholicism, paganism, Wicca, Satanism, then “Native American spiritualism” adopted by a man who kept changing his name and his story. Shadow figures paced past bedroom doors like they were on patrol. Windows became things you didn't look out of after dark. The backyard seemed split in half—one side “fine,” the other side wrong in a way you only understand in the pit of your stomach. Is it possible for one family's chaos, pain, and obsession with the occult to invite in something that doesn't let go? Or was there always something buried there, just waiting for the right storm to feed on? #realghoststoriesonline #trueghoststory #hauntedhouse #demonicentity #shadowpeople #childhoodhaunting #occultgonewrong #paranormalpodcast #empath #survivorstory #pigman #creepystory  Love real ghost stories?

Is Christianity actually losing ground in America, or are we missing the real story? Everywhere you look, you see the headlines: church attendance down, paganism and Wicca exploding, and a generation drifting into anything that feels spiritual. But when you dig under the surface, you start to notice something bigger happening… and something Christians have completely failed to prepare for. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In today's episode, we dig into the uncomfortable truth that most Christians have forgotten the basics. We're losing people not because Christianity isn't true, but because we're terrible at showing it's true. Meanwhile, alternative beliefs aren't just growing by accident. They're being sold better. And that should wake all of us up. This conversation goes deep into evidence, history, apologetics, and the modern sales problem inside the American church. Why do younger generations default to aliens, psychedelics, or witchcraft as explanations for biblical events? Why does skepticism feel easier than faith today? And how do you even begin to talk to someone who questions everything? You'll hear a clear, real-world breakdown of what Christians must do differently if we want to reach Gen Z, Millennials, and even older folks who've quietly walked away. This is practical, no-BS evangelism meets evidence-based apologetics… delivered through the lens of sales, persuasion, and common sense. If you've ever struggled with objections, doubts, or conversations that leave you feeling outmatched, this episode gives you the exact mindset and tools to push back with confidence. It's time to stop hiding from the big questions and start answering them like it actually matters. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

One of the biggest things I think a lot of older witches take for granted is that people understand what makes Wicca, well, Wicca. While we've discussed the history before, and last month talked about the weird anti-Wicca backlash, I think there are a lot of misconceptions about how this incredibly diverse religion is practiced. Frankly, just the fact that it is largely an orthopraxic religion and not an orthodoxic one is a concept a lot of folks raised in predominantly Christian frameworks struggle with. So let's talk about it.

In this episode, Eli applies the presuppositional apologetic approach to Wicca. The hope is that believers learn how to apply the biblical approach to apologetics to literally any form of non-Christian worldview.

The Bell Witch became one of America's most famous hauntings, but the truth behind the violent spirit that allegedly tormented a Tennessee family for years remains shrouded in mystery and debate.IN THIS EPISODE: The tale of the Bell Witch has gone on to become one of the most well known hauntings in American history and an iconic historical horror story, but of course it has left us to debate and speculate on whether any of it is true, and if so just what was the Bell Witch? (The Disturbing Case of the Bell Witch) *** The pentagram is most often seen in film and television as a symbol of Satan, or dark witchcraft – but that is not the reality of pentagram. The symbol has a much wider and richer history than what is portrayed in today's entertainment mediums. While the practices and beliefs of Wicca, gnostics, and druids use the pentagram in their practices, as do Satanists, the pentagram was (and sometimes still is) used by Christian believers as well – which I'm sure comes as quite a shock to those who don't know the full history behind this five pointed star. (The Paranormal Pentagram) *** I have told innumerable stories involving the death of someone, be it brutal, mysterious, or even darkly humorous. But it is high time I share a few stories of people who died… but then returned to the living. Not as ghosts, but as regular flesh-and-blood human beings who just happened to survive their own death. (They Survived Their Own Deaths) *** The Lake Bodom murders may well be the most famous unsolved homicide in Scandinavian Criminal History. Occurring in 1960 and claiming 3 victims with 1 injured survivor it is a Finnish zeitgeist that at one time or another had the whole of Finland enraptured. It is now a buzzword for murder and mystery in the small country.

In the second installment of our seven-part series on the Aspects of Deity, the witches turn their attention to the God in his middle face: the Oak King, the Father, the Warrior, and the beating heart of the Sun at its height. This is the God in his full maturity; strong-backed, green-crowned, and alive with the fierce joy of summer.Laylla and Chelle unpack where this Father/Warrior archetype comes from in modern witchcraft, tracing the Oak King's tangled roots through folklore, Wicca, the Horned God mythos, and the ever-evolving Wheel of the Year. From the midsummer battle with the Holly King, to his role as the wild consort of the Goddess, to his deep connection with the turning of the seasons, the witches explore how this bright, solar force shows up in myth and in lived witchcraft today.They also dig into the bigger question: what does sacred masculinity look like for witches who grew up with Christian Father-God baggage or pop culture's devil-horn stereotypes? The Oak King reminds us that strength can be tender, that passion can be holy, and that the body, sweating, laughing, loving, and alive is a temple all its own. He's the god of green forests and hot sun, the Witch-Father who guards the boundaries of the land and teaches us to walk them with courage.Join us for stories, lore, laughter, and a whole lot of leafy green energy as we meet the God in his middle face,; the Oak King in all his vibrant, responsible, moss-scented glory.Got a question?

In this Halloween “snack” episode, Ophira Eisenberg reconnects with horror writer and fellow Brooklyn parent Brooke Mackenzie to dig deeper into her psychic and supernatural experiences. Brooke explains that she once asked “the powers that be” to remove her ability to see ghosts through deep meditation—but kept one lingering gift: premonition dreams that sometimes predict people's deaths, a trait she says runs in her family. She recalls her one-year-old daughter giggling at an empty rocking chair and saying “Papa,” suggesting that the connection might continue in the next generation. The two trade stories about Halloween costumes and stolen stoop decorations before diving into Brooke's past involvement with Wicca, her vast crystal collection (so large her husband gives her a “quota”), and how she uses crystals for rituals—including fertility and protection rituals aided by quartz, selenite, and Herkimer diamonds. Brooke describes working as a tutor, balancing motherhood with writing horror, and how she still fears demons, exorcisms, and her own mortality. She swears she'll never touch a Ouija board again after one terrifying encounter that ended with a shop owner insisting it be stored in a freezer. The conversation wraps on a lighter note about pillowcase trick-or-treating and Brooke's hopes to publish children's books someday—just maybe with a crystal or two close by for good juju.

Wait, what's so gay about witches, you ask?First of all — sit down.When I was a young f/hag in the late '90s, Wicca was having a moment. The Halliwell sisters ruled the WB, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock were burying men in their back gardens, and I gobbled the GAGathon down with glee.Only later did I realize what made these witchy bitchies so alluring: it wasn't (just) that they were different — it was that they were powerful.Outsiders who could fight back. Like the X-men...or democratic socialists.But were they always outsiders? No! In the ancient world, everyone dabbled in magic. Pagans love a hag with a herb garden.Then Christianity came along and ruined everything. AS ALWAYS.By the 20th century, witchcraft was beginning to mean "freedom" to a lot of repressed Westerners. Which might explain why nearly half of Wiccans today identify as queer.Join us for this Halloween special as we trace The Craft™ from ancient love spells to Victorian occultists, with brilliant guest Professor Marion Gibson.Together we ask:

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay decide to live deliciously while wrapping up Spooky Sleazon with a modern horror classic, 'The Witch.' After tending to his chores, Bombay opens up the episode by telling a story when he received a slew of sultry snaps from a girl who practices Wicca and it somehow ended horribly. Then the boys jump into the movie that went on to define A24 horror — back when that meant something — and discuss the epitome of a slow burn horror done right. There's talk of Robert Eggers' impressive craft and attention to detail that makes him an occult Wes Anderson, for a movie that would seem a slog but breezes by and culminates in a bonkers third act. Of course the fellas have to give some love to Anya Taylor-Joy's breakout performance, and Ralph Ineson's haunting voice. Don't worry, they also spend sufficient time praising the GOAT goat performance from Black Phillip, and bemoan the fact he wasn't given zany 'Leprechaun'-esque zany sequels.

On the podcast, we have covered the Salem Witch Trials and other witch hunts in America and Europe. When we originally produced the Witches in America episode, we touched on a couple of the witch hunts that took place before the Salem outbreak, some Native American witches and then a couple of infamous witches, the River Witch of Marietta and the Bell Witch. We are still going to include some of that here, but the witch hunt material got a more thorough treatment in Episode 307, so we pulled that out. This Redux will explore some other witch narratives from America that we didn't cover before and update the material on the Bell Witch. Most of the people accused of witchcraft in the past, weren't actually witches, but that does not mean that there were not or are not really witches in America. Witchcraft has long been practiced in America and Wicca is an accepted religious practice in our modern era. Join us as we explore witches in America.

Samhain/Halloween when the veil between the worlds is thin and if you are cunning you just may see what lies beyond. In fact, you just may see what lies are keeping you tethered to the construct of "normalcy". This is a warm and hearty chat where we explore the current state of affairs in the craft, paganism, Wicca, and the natural magical pathways therein that are so linked to the idea of the "Witch" in the modern round. This is a casual chat and one I very much enjoyed.You may find Mannun on YT:https://www.youtube.com/@WitchNTheWorkingTips are most welcome:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/niish⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thecosmicsalon.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I want to thank the producers of this show:Meredith Walako (Scheduling, bookings, and social media manager).

Halloween is upon us! Costumes, trick-or-treating, and plenty of controversy! In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie look at whether or not witches and witchcraft are something Christians should be concerned with. Many costumes involve witches, but is it wrong to dress that way? We dig into the history of witches and witchcraft, dating all the way back to early biblical references. We then look at modern Wicca and even talk through some popular fantasy series that involve witchcraft, like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and The Chronicles of Narnia to talk through how Christians should deal with these forms of entertainment. Take a listen and we hope this is helpful for you in your walk with the Lord this Halloween season!The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) unpack Paulo Coelho's Brida, a spiritual coming-of-age novel that blends witchcraft, love, and the search for destiny. We trace Coelho's remarkable journey—from rebellious lyricist and political prisoner to world-renowned author of The Alchemist—and how his fascination with faith, mysticism, and personal legend shaped Brida's twin paths of the Sun (reason, discipline) and Moon (intuition, ritual). We explore the novel's central relationships—Brida, Magus, Wicca, and Lorens—and what they reveal about soulmates, free will, and spiritual growth. Along the way, we discuss memorable quotes, recurring symbols, and whether Brida's ultimate choice reflects courage or denial.Up next in our Bookmarked series:Exile and the Kingdom – Albert Camus (Nov 2025)Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore – Emily Krempholtz (Dec 2025)Marisa pick (Jan 2026)Marisa pick (Feb 2026)The Lost Bookshop – Evie Woods (Mar 2026)Marisa pick (Apr 2026)How to Solve Your Own Murder – Kristen Perrin (May 2026)

In this episode, Morgan revisits the distinctions and connections between Wicca, witchcraft, and paganism, addressing common misconceptions and providing a comprehensive overview of each. She emphasizes that paganism is a broad umbrella encompassing various spiritual paths, while witchcraft is a practice of magick that can exist independently of any religion. Wicca, on the other hand, is a recognized religion with specific beliefs and practices. Morgan also shares her personal growth and evolving perspectives on these topics, encouraging listeners to embrace their identities and practices without fear.

In this lost episode of THE CIRCLE IS podCAST, Rachel True and Mat Auryn welcome witchcraft author and third degree high priest Jason Mankey for a conversation that discusses the hidden history of music, where crossroads magick, hoodoo folklore, and esoteric influence shaped the pulse of blues and rock long before anyone spoke of “occult music.” From there the dialogue drifts into the nature of practice itself, touching on everyday sorcery, personal power, and subtle ways of working energy in daily life. They explore the question of initiation and whether formal lineage is required for authentic practice, opening a thoughtful exchange on tradition, self-dedication, and the many ways a witch steps fully onto their path. The episode also brings forward Jason's newest work, a biography of Raymond Buckland that offers a rare look into the life of one of modern witchcraft's most influential figures. The result is a rich exchange on art as spellcraft, magick as a lived reality, and the evolving legacy of the Craft.Jason's Links:Raise the Horns blog: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/panmankey/author/jmankey/Jason's Books: https://www.llewellyn.com/author.php?author_id=4751Jason's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/panmankey/?hl=enJason's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063557306920Our Links:Gathering of The Witches Online Event: https://insighteventsusa.com/gathering-of-the-witches-2025/ref/82/Rachel True Website: https://truehearttarot.comMat Auryn Website: https://auryn.netModern Witch Podcast Network: https://modernwitch.comMat's Omega Retreats: https://www.auryn.net/omegaTrue Heart Intuitive Tarot, Guidebook And Deck: https://a.co/d/9ZNyRu1The Psychic Art of Tarot: Opening Your Inner Eye for More Insightful Readings: https://a.co/d/dUBT1bZPsychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick & Manifestation: https://a.co/d/bHelDwUMastering Magick: A Course in Spellcasting for the Psychic Witch: https://amzn.to/3VesGalPisces Witch: Unlock the Magic of Your Sun Sign: https://a.co/d/cGqcG61

Show Notes Episode 511: Something Wiccan This Way Comes Part 3 of Spooktacular 2025 This week Host Dave Bledsoe was arrested at the Lizard Lounge in Bohemia for getting hammered, stripping off all his clothes and proclaiming he was performing Witchy Woman by the Eagles “skyclad”. (Again) On the show this week we look at the state of modern witchcraft when we talk about the Wiccans. Along the way we learn that Dave DID try not be a godless heathen. (Just not very hard.) Then we dive right into that time the Romans did some Roman shit to people in what would become Wales. (Somehow, this IS relevant) before coming back to talk about an English Post Clerk who decided that pretending to believe in witchcraft might get him laid. (Unfair and untrue, Gerald was probably ACE) Then we follow the rise of Wicca as a religion as it spread around the world in the 70s until it exploded in the late 90s. (Alyson Hannigan was just so damn cute!) We explain how Wicca got popular then Hollywood made it suck and how Wicca is today.  Finally, Dave explains why he isn't a Wiccan. (They kicked him out of the coven for being too eager to get Skyclad.) Our Sponsor this week is Coven FInder,because a coven of one isn't a coven at all! We open with Nat Geo explaining Wicca and close with Liam St John is risking himself with the Three Fold Law.

In this special Business of Woo-themed episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings) chats with friend of the show Britt Sundkulla-Sinclair of Golden Thread Alchemy all about her transition from part-time working witch, astrologer and death doula to a full-time Woo-based business owner!And, not only does Britt describe what this transition has been like-- and what it demands in terms of working hours, promotional/ unpaid efforts, and very early mornings-- but she also explores the strange devolution in human interaction (and mutual respect) that has been accelerating since the Covid-19 pandemic. Clients and customers of the Woo just aren't behaving the same anymore, requiring Woo-based business owners to make some necessary but unpleasant changes like: charging for previously free events, making rules at group workshops re: topics to not discuss, and requiring deposits or up-front payment for one-on-one sessions.But it's not all Debbie Downer sh*t! Within all of this minutea and restructuring are tremendous silver linings, perhaps the most important of which is that this cycle is separating the tourists and casuals from the serious, life-long, real deal experts. If you're a Woo-based business owner navigating these trying times, just remember: every day that you don't give up, you're passively taking market share from those that do!And that means that you'll get to continue to be of service, fulfill your life's purpose, and continue to "touch the Woo" every damn day!LINKS:Rachel's Website: https://www.totemreadings.comTOTEM Readings Substack: https://totemrach.substack.comRachel's Other Links: https://linktr.ee/totemrachPlease support the Sponsors of The Skeptical Shaman Podcast:The TOTEM Flower Essence Deck: https://a.co/d/gw16LsGThe TOTEM Tarot Deck: https://totemreadingsatx.etsy.com/listing/1492934343The TOTEM Flower Essences: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TotemReadingsATXTOTEM Spiritual Transformation Coaching: https://www.totemreadings.com/coachingTOTEM Business of Woo Mentoring: https://www.totemreadings.com/business-of-wooBritt's LINKS:Website: https://www.goldenthreadalchemy.comSubstack: https://goldenthreadalchemy.substack.com/Please note: The views and opinions expressed on The Skeptical Shaman do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

In this special Business of Woo-themed episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings) chats with Cardsy B (of the Hex and the City podcast) all about what life is really like as a full-time working witch in residence at one of Manhattan's premier boutique hotels.And, while there's some literal magic in Cardsy's workdays, there is also the reality of the Business of Woo: the increasing exertion required to maintain healthy client boundaries, navigate parasocial dynamics, and process untethered-- and often nasty-- criticism that cuts to the core of your character.The bottom line? You can't make everybody happy all of the time, so Woo-based business owners and full-time psychic practitioners need to establish codified "shop policies" that enable them to stay consistent while conserving their precious energy while working with the general public. In this episode, Rachel and Cardsy chat about what a psychic session is supposed to deliver. Spoiler alert: getting a tarot reading or psychic sessions isn't actually a good way to manage anxiety, nor can a reading or session actually shift the material reality of your life. It's just a diagnostic, and one that the client should come away from feeling empowered and ready to tackle the world of free will-- just with better data;)LINKS:Rachel's Website: https://www.totemreadings.comTOTEM Readings Substack: https://totemrach.substack.comRachel's Other Links: https://linktr.ee/totemrachPlease support the Sponsors of The Skeptical Shaman Podcast:The TOTEM Flower Essence Deck: https://a.co/d/gw16LsGThe TOTEM Tarot Deck:https://totemreadingsatx.etsy.com/listing/1492934343The TOTEM Flower Essences: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TotemReadingsATXCardsy B's LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cardsyb/Linktree: https://bio.cardsyb.com/Please note: The views and opinions expressed on The Skeptical Shaman do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Wicca's getting dragged on WitchTok again this time for being racist, appropriated, or just plain outdated. But is it really that simple? In this episode, we take a hard look at Gerald Gardner's colonial baggage, the real roots of Wicca, and where cultural appropriation actually shows up in modern witchcraft. We'll cut through the noise, define appropriation clearly, and talk about how Wiccans today can practice in ways that are ethical, respectful, and real.This isn't about canceling Wicca it's about unlearning the blind spots and reclaiming the parts of the tradition worth keeping.

In this episode of Cultish, we sit continue our conversation with Jeremy Jenkins—Pastor from North Carolina and founder of All Things All People—to dive deep into the world of Wicca and Neo-Paganism. What draws people to these modern spiritual movements? How do they connect with ancient practices and beliefs about the unseen realm? And most importantly, how should Christians understand, engage, and respond to those exploring these paths? Join us as Jeremy shares his insights, pastoral experience, and apologetic perspective on the growing influence of Wicca and Neo-Paganism in today's culture. Partner With Us & Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERESHOP OUR MERCH: HEREAll Things All People: HEREPurchase Jeremy's Book: HERE

Last week's Pisces lunar eclipse pulled back the veil and asked us to release what was draining our energy.
