I think most of us were captivated by I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, I remember watching the Mickey Mouse Club with Mickey portraying a sorcerer, I believe all of that was to desensitize us to what was to come and what is out there today, probably most people laugh or shrug these things of, after all it's the 21st century, ...but they are real, three times I have had witches come to cast a spell on me, of course He who is in me is greater than he who is in them, but they can cast spells on non-believers, I once worked for a man who had a mana (power) stone in his flower bed, people were all the time coming to worship it and receive power, also a very popular tourist attraction here is to walk across glowing red coals with a warlock, ...Paul tells us at the end there will be signs and lying wonders by the power of Satan to deceive many, to seduce and deceive those that have not received a love for the Truth, I believe that is what we are seeing and experiencing.
