The Dark Side of the Pulpit: My Experience with Witchcraft in the Church
Growing up, I always believed the church was a safe place—a haven where faith, love, and community thrived. But my experience at one particular church taught me that not every house of worship operates with pure intentions. Some pastors are driven by something far darker than faith.
Let me share my story.
When I first attended this church, it felt alive. The congregation was huge, the music was powerful, and the pastor seemed charismatic and full of wisdom. At first glance, everything seemed perfect. But little by little, I started noticing things that didn’t sit right with me.
The pastor often boasted about how quickly his church had grown. He was vague about how he managed to attract so many people, only saying that “God had chosen him” to lead a large flock. But as time passed, it became clear there was more to his success than divine intervention.
People started talking. Quiet conversations after services hinted that the pastor was using something other than prayer to grow the church. Some said he was using muti—a form of traditional medicine often associated with rituals and, sometimes, witchcraft.
At first, I dismissed these rumors as idle gossip. But the more I observed, the harder it became to ignore.
The pastor’s behavior started to feel… calculated. He always seemed to know what people wanted to hear, almost as if he could read minds. The sermons were emotional and hypnotic, leaving the congregation in tears and shouting praises.
But there was something darker behind the scenes. The pastor kept to himself outside of the pulpit, rarely engaging with the members unless it benefited him directly. It wasn’t long before I heard about the snake he kept—a snake that some claimed helped him grow his “business.”
Yes, to him, the church was strictly a business. He wasn’t interested in leading people to God; he was focused on power, influence, and money.
One day, I attended a prayer meeting and noticed something strange. The atmosphere felt heavy, almost suffocating. The pastor handed out what he called “anointed water,” instructing us to drink it for blessings. But the water had an odd smell, and I couldn’t bring myself to take even a sip.
Others who drank it said they felt “connected to the spirit,” but they also described feeling drained and confused afterward. It was as if they had been spiritually manipulated.
That’s when it hit me: this wasn’t worship. This was witchcraft masquerading as faith.
I eventually left the church, deeply shaken and questioning everything. How could someone use sacred spaces and people’s faith for such selfish, dark purposes? How many others were trapped in his web of manipulation?
Leaving wasn’t easy. I felt guilt, anger, and betrayal. But over time, I realized that true faith doesn’t require tricks, muti, or manipulation. Faith is about love, truth, and connection—not power or profit.
If you ever find yourself in a church that feels “off,” trust your instincts. A true leader doesn’t need shortcuts to inspire or grow their ministry. Religion should never be about exploitation, and it’s okay to question the practices and motives of those in charge.
Witchcraft in churches is real, and my experience taught me to be vigilant. Don’t let blind faith lead you into darkness. Seek the truth, and you’ll find the light.
