The New Fad: MYSTICISM and the OCCULT - Lester L Grabbe - November 1971

Lester L Grabbe

Traditional Christianity is being abandoned for other forms of "worship." Oriental religions, witchcraft, the occult, so-called Christian "sects," and outright paganism have drawn thousands from the mainstream churches. WHY are people turning to the mystical in an age priding itself on scientific and material knowledge? "Double, double, toil and trouble, Fire burn, and cauldron bubble." Almost everyone has heard these lines from Shakespeare at one time or another. Accompanying is always the nocturnal image of several black-cloaked, vile-looking old hags, stirring the contents of a frothing, seething, squat iron kettle in the middle of thick woods. But if you met a "real" witch on the street, the chances are you would never recognize her. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
