“For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places,” (Eph. 6:12).
There truly is a spiritual battle that rages around us, whether we recognize it at face value or not. However, culture is no longer hiding the spiritual darkness invading it. Instead, it’s being embraced and celebrated in the open.
In a reaction video, Isaiah Saldivar shared a clip of a writer from the show “The Originals” blatantly discussing in a panel interview how she wrote spells into the show.

“I want to ask you this because I say this at conventions a lot, this rumor that I heard, and I want to know if it’s true,” the interviewer starts off. “There’s a rumor that production was called by real witches of New Orleans saying ‘you’re playing with fire and you’ve got to change up your chants.’”
The writer then confirmed that these rumors were completely true.
“So, in season 1 when I was the writer’s assistant, I wrote the chants,” she began. “I would go online and like look up spells. I was like, ‘why not?’ And then I’d go to change a couple of words.”

The writer of a popular TV show was writing actual witchcraft spells into scripts for people to then unknowingly watch while demonic activity was being cast into their family rooms.
“I’d like figure out a spell, and I’d go and change a couple of words to French and a couple of words to Creole,” the writer continued.
This means the spells weren’t even truly changed into something fictional, just to another language. These are full spells that actors were speaking over to audiences through the screen.
“Then we got a call from a woman in New Orleans who was like, ‘I think that you’re playing with fire…what are you trying to do? You’re putting these spells in everybody’s living room all across America,’” she continued.
The writer and the audience then laughed about putting curses on the people watching the show.
This is a terrifying reality when we think about it. Someone finds it amusing that she literally was putting people under spells, and the audience didn’t even realize that what this means is spiritual darkness and death to the viewers.
“Guys, do you understand your television, your smartphone, these are portals to the demonic realm?” Saldivar asks in response to the video. “When you’re watching stuff and listening to stuff that’s witchcraft, you’re opening yourself up to demonic spirits.”
This is why it is key for us to fill our minds and our hearts with the Word of God above all else. We are called to be of the light and not of the dark. When we use our time to sit in the presence of God instead of the presence of this world, we become more like Christ and so also come to experience more of His joy and peace.
