Ep 1400 | Ex-Psychic Warning: Witchcraft is Hidden in Kid's Entertainment

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey1h 7m

Jen Stover, a former psychic medium, discusses her journey into and out of witchcraft, detailing how demonic deception operates through increasingly normalized occult practices in entertainment and social media. She emphasizes that modern witchcraft is presented as empowering and benign to vulnerable youth, while warning Christians to recognize spiritual deception hidden in music, movies, and merchandise.

Summary

Jen Stover recounts her conversion from practicing psychic mediumship to born-again Christianity after experiencing severe demonic oppression. She was introduced to witchcraft as a child through family exposure and paranormal-themed entertainment, particularly Disney content, making her spiritually vulnerable without proper discernment. At 13, a tarot card reading opened a gateway into years of divination work, during which she gained credibility through accurate readings facilitated by demons' ancient knowledge of human circumstances and behaviors.

Stover explains that Satan's strategy involves masquerading as light and appealing to human vulnerabilities—especially in teens dealing with low self-esteem and identity struggles. She distinguishes modern occult marketing from older depictions of witches; contemporary witchcraft is glamorized as neutral or positive (exemplified in the film Hex and Taylor Swift's numerology obsession with the number 13), making it more seductive to youth than scary medieval witch imagery. The core appeal of witchcraft is the promise of control and power—the ability to manipulate circumstances through spells, visualization, and divination, positioning oneself as a god rather than submitting to actual deity.

During her psychic practice, Stover noticed demons increasingly manifested their true evil nature through severe anxiety, depression, demonic oppression (constant inner chatter), and destructive relationships she had manifested. Despite recognizing this escalation, she mistakenly interpreted it as needing stronger protective practices (smudging, crystals, white light visualization) rather than recognizing the source. At 36, facing near-destruction and suicidal ideation, she called upon Jesus Christ despite having no prior Christian faith, which shocked her but initiated a 10-month journey to salvation and genuine deliverance.

Stover critiques how the new age worldview permeates Christian and secular culture alike. She argues that practices like manifesting, vision boarding, and the law of attraction work through demonic manipulation—demons plant ideas, people act on them, confirming the practice's supposed efficacy while the person credits themselves rather than recognizing spiritual forces. She emphasizes that success doesn't equal truth; demonic practices can appear to work precisely because demons are intelligent agents capable of orchestrating circumstances and influencing human thoughts.

The discussion covers hidden spiritual dangers in children's entertainment: Barbie's messaging about self-love and personal power, Disney's consistent glamorization of witchcraft, and the normalization of occult tools in everyday retail (chakra candles positioned as emotional aids). Stover warns that even seemingly innocent practices like essential oils marketed with spiritual properties or power beads can serve as gateways to deeper occult involvement, especially for children lacking spiritual discernment.

Stover identifies Taylor Swift as a significant cultural vessel for normalizing occult ideology through her observable numerology obsession, karma references, and twin-flame concepts like the "invisible string" theory. She argues this isn't hidden—Swift openly bases decisions on the number 13—making her influential fanbase (Swifties) susceptible to new age doctrine presented through entertainment.

The conversation addresses how demonic entities manipulate thoughts and dreams, particularly through familiar spirits impersonating deceased loved ones. Stover cites the Candace Owens situation where she believed Charlie Kirk visited her in dreams as an example of familiar spirits exploiting the vulnerable in-between state of sleep. She emphasizes that the spiritual battle occurs primarily in the mind and that Christians must take thoughts captive and test them against Scripture.

Regarding genuine versus false deliverance, Stover distinguishes between authentic salvation (placing faith in Jesus Christ's finished work on the cross, receiving the gospel message, and being born again) and exploitative deliverance ministries charging money for promised liberation. She stresses that true deliverance comes through Christ alone, not through human intermediaries or payment.

The episode concludes with discussion of a growing movement of ex-witches and ex-psychics converting to Christianity, which Stover views as evidence of God's victory and the gospel's power spreading through social media platforms initially used by the enemy.

Key Insights

  • Jen Stover argues that tarot card readings at age 13 worked and gave her accurate information because demons, as ancient intelligent beings, can observe human circumstances, schedules, and conversations over ages, making specific predictions that appear supernatural but are based on observed data rather than future knowledge.
  • Stover claims that modern witchcraft presentation as glamorous and benign (through characters like those in Hex or mediums like Teresa Caputo who appear innocent) is more dangerous than old scary witch imagery because people don't recognize it as evil and therefore don't question engaging with it.
  • She argues that demons begin manifestations of their true evil nature (oppression, anxiety, destructive relationships) precisely because each divination practice invites them further into a person's life, escalating their presence and malevolence over time.
  • Stover contends that practices like manifesting and vision boarding work through demonic manipulation of human behavior and self-fulfilling prophecies rather than through any supernatural power, yet their apparent success gives them credibility that obscures their demonic origin.
  • She claims that the new age worldview deliberately removes accountability for sin by attributing actions to astrological signs, karma, or energy compatibility, directly affirming sin rather than requiring repentance—fundamentally incompatible with Christian accountability.
  • Stover states that demonic entities don't require credit for good outcomes; Satan is equally satisfied with people worshiping themselves (the god of self) as with people consciously worshiping him, making the outcome (distraction from Christ) identical regardless of where people attribute their success.
  • She argues that children are extremely susceptible to spiritual deception because they cannot develop spiritual discernment without it being taught, making them vulnerable to normalized occult practices in entertainment that adults might more readily question.
  • Stover claims that the presentation of witchcraft solves specific vulnerabilities (insecurity, low self-esteem, desire for control) in teens makes it particularly seductive, as the promised empowerment directly addresses their developmental struggles and questions.
  • She contends that demons masquerading as deceased loved ones through dreams exploit the vulnerable in-between state of sleep when people are spiritually susceptible, using these false communications to plant lies and draw people away from Christ.
  • Stover argues that even seemingly innocent products marketed with spiritual properties (chakra candles, power beads, essential oils with ascribed emotional benefits) serve as spiritual gateways because they present the idea that external objects can transfer spiritual power or protection to users.
  • She claims that Satan's strategy involves appealing to the same core human desire he used with Eve in the Garden—convincing people they can become like God through their own power and knowledge—making modern witchcraft fundamentally consistent with original temptation.
  • Stover states that true deliverance requires no human intermediary, payment, or specific formula beyond genuine faith in Christ's finished work, making any deliverance ministry charging money or promising guaranteed results through their methods inconsistent with biblical salvation.

Transcript

Every time I gave a reading, I was inviting more and more demons into my life, and they started to manifest truer to their evil nature. They never left me alone. I got to a point of such severe demonic oppression that I was on the brink of destruction. I did not know Jesus. God, in his grace and mercy, started to draw me to Himself, really, by calling on the name of Jesus Christ in this second of near destruction. It shocked me. It completely shocked me. Jen, thanks so much for joining us again. The first time you came on, it's been a couple of years now. Your testimony, I mean, it spread like wildfire because you are…
