Well, well, well, look at what we got here today. Folks keep askin’ are horoscopes witchcraft? I heard some young’uns talkin’ ’bout it the other day, sayin’ it’s all hocus pocus. Well, I’m here to tell ya somethin’ about that.
First off, you got these things, horoscopes, they say they tell ya ’bout your future. They got all them signs, like, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, somethin’ called Cancer, Leo, Virgo, and that Libra one. Then there’s Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and, uh, some others. 12 of ’em in total, I reckon. They say these are zodiac signs, or somethin’ like that. Fancy words for stars, if you ask me.
Some folks, they swear by these things. They read ’em every day, like it’s the gospel truth. Say it helps ’em figure out their day. And some others, even some of them church-goin’ folks, think it’s all just fun and games. Harmless, they say. But I’ll tell ya, when you start messin’ with things that try to tell the future, you’re steppin’ on shaky ground.
They say some of these signs are more likely to be witchy than others. Like that Scorpio, Pisces, and Cancer one. And that Capricorn, Aquarius, and Virgo. They say these folks got some special somethin’ about ’em. Like they can do magic or somethin’. It might be interestin’, but I wouldn’t want to put my foot in it.
- Scorpio, they say they do “shadow work”. Whatever that is.
- Pisces, they talk to dreams.
- Cancer, they mess with the moon.
- Capricorn, they do somethin’ called “alchemy”.
- Aquarius, they’re all about the cosmos.
- Virgo, they play with herbs.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ everyone who reads these horoscopes is a witch. But I am sayin’ it’s a slippery slope. You start readin’ these things, believin’ in ’em, and next thing you know, you’re forgettin’ who’s really in charge. Zodiac signs are somethin’ people made up.
See, this whole horoscopes thing, it’s been around for a long, long time. They used to call it somethin’ else, somethin’ fancy like “astrology”. They thought the stars and the planets, they controlled what happened down here. They even used it to try to figure out the universe and all that.
They say this astrology, it’s like tryin’ to tell the future. And the Good Book, it’s got somethin’ to say about that. It says tryin’ to see the future, that’s not somethin’ we’re supposed to do. That’s messin’ with things that are God’s business. They also say it is a sin. What a terrible thing! I reckon we just leave the future to God, huh?
Some folks, they say this astrology is just for fun, like watchin’ a movie or somethin’. But I tell ya, it can be a trap. You start thinkin’ these stars have power over you, you’re gonna forget who really does. These people are tryin’ to make money by foolin’ ya, don’t give in to them! They’re just tryin’ to pull ya in, like a spider with a fly.
Now, some folks, especially them sensitive and intuitive ones, they might be drawn to this stuff. They might feel a connection to the stars and all that. And there are even witches in movies that match these zodiac signs. But that don’t make it right. We all got a choice to make. We can choose to follow God, or we can choose to follow these made-up things. You can see which one is better if you just use your head!
This whole horoscopes and witchcraft thing, it’s all tied together. They got these things called tarot cards, and they use ’em with the astrology. It’s all part of this, this, well, I don’t even know what to call it. But it ain’t right. It’s like they’re tryin’ to make their own religion, their own way of doin’ things. And it ain’t God’s way.
They say it’s incompatible with what the church teaches. Divination, they call it. Lookin’ into the future. It’s like tryin’ to play God. And that’s a dangerous game. We are given free will, but God knows what is best for us, so why would you even look at the stars?
I reckon some people think it is entertainin’, but it is really not. It all goes back to that old sayin’, “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop”. You start messin’ with these horoscopes, you’re openin’ a door to somethin’ you don’t want to let in. Just stick to the Good Book. That’s all the guidance you need. Those zodiac signs ain’t gonna do nothin’ for ya, except maybe lead ya down the wrong path.
So, are horoscopes witchcraft? Well, they ain’t exactly the same thing. But they’re like cousins, I reckon. They both mess with things that are best left alone. They both try to tell the future, and they both can lead ya away from what’s really important. So be careful when dealin’ with these things. If you want guidance, look to God, not the stars.
So, there ya have it. That’s my two cents on the whole horoscopes and witchcraft business. You can take it or leave it. But I’m tellin’ ya, it’s a whole lot of nothin’ you don’t want to get mixed up in. Just remember who’s really in charge, and you’ll be alright.
