Once upon a time in a mystical land, there lived a deceptive witch named Morgana. Morgana was known for her cunning and conniving ways, always scheming and plotting to get what she wanted. She used her powers of manipulation to trick and deceive others into doing her bidding. One day, Morgana set her sights on a valuable treasure hidden deep within the castle. She knew that the castle was heavily guarded, but she was confident in her abilities to outwit the guards. She concocted a plan to disguise herself as a helpless maiden in distress, hoping to gain sympathy and compassion from the guards.
Witchcraft is about persuasion: of the spirits to do our bidding, of receiving the favor of our deities, and of coaxing correspondences to get the job done. There are those who view persuasive techniques as manipulative deception. Truth is that witches are in the business of manipulation. Denying this doesn’t make it untrue. We manipulate forces and spirits. That is what spellcrafting is.
From binding others as a means of controlling their nefarious ways to slipping medicine into children s porridge, witchcraft is often done in the shadows, where the line between truth and lie is blurred. As Halloween rolls around faster than a Wiccan flying on a broomstick, it s time to take a look at a faith that s seducing untold numbers of women and men.
She concocted a plan to disguise herself as a helpless maiden in distress, hoping to gain sympathy and compassion from the guards. As she approached the castle, she put on her best act. She pretended to be exhausted and weak, stumbling and falling to the ground.

Yet we need to be on guard and sound the alarm concerning what the Bible says about witchcraft.
If you are not familiar with this topic, then use this as an introduction to what witchcraft is and why you must guard against it. You will discover that you can be infected by this in ways you may not think about.
One of the guards, let's call him Marcus, happened to be nearby and rushed to her aid. Marcus was a kind-hearted man, always wanting to help those in need. Marcus approached Morgana cautiously, asking if she was alright. Morgana feigned distress, explaining that she had been traveling for days and had lost her way. She told Marcus that she was searching for her lost sister and was desperate for assistance. Marcus, being the compassionate soul that he was, offered to help Morgana find her sister. He called upon his fellow guards to aid in the search, completely unaware of the true intentions behind Morgana's act. Morgana, now having gained the trust of the guards, led them on a wild goose chase, deliberately leading them away from the treasure. Days turned into weeks, and the guards grew more and more frustrated with their fruitless search. Unbeknownst to them, Morgana was slowly making her way back to the castle, her plan coming to fruition. She knew that with the guards distracted, the path to the treasure would be unguarded. Finally, the day came when Morgana returned to the castle. She slipped past the unsuspecting guards effortlessly, her true form hidden under a cloak of deception. As she made her way to the hidden chamber where the treasure was said to be, a sense of triumph filled her. She couldn't believe that her plan had worked so perfectly. Morgana reveled in her victory as she reached the chamber, only to be met with disappointment. The treasure was nowhere to be found. It seemed that someone had beaten her to it. She felt a mixture of anger and frustration, realizing that her cunning plan had been foiled by another. Little did Morgana know, it was Marcus who had discovered the treasure before her. He had stumbled upon it during one of their search parties while Morgana had led them astray. Marcus, being an honest and trustworthy guard, had followed protocol and reported the finding to his superiors. Morgana's plan may have failed, but she learned a valuable lesson in the process. Deception and trickery may provide temporary gains, but honesty and integrity will always prevail in the end. As for Marcus, he continued to serve as a guard, remaining blissfully unaware of the deceptive witch who had crossed his path. In this story, we see the contrast between Morgana's deceptive nature and Marcus' honest character. While Morgana used her powers to manipulate and deceive, Marcus remained true to his values. The main idea highlighted here is that dishonesty may help in achieving short-term goals, but it will ultimately lead to failure and disappointment..
