 What You Should Know About Witchcraft By Rev., Dr. Christos Kioni ©2017 Introduction My Story I grew up around the practice of African American Hoodoo AKA as roots and rootwork. Twice a year my legal guardian Pearlie Mae would take me with her to Leesburg Florida for a visit to a gypsy fortune teller who worked roots. I remember the fascination of peeping through the wooden door of the fortune teller’s office to see what went on behind the closed door. One year when I was around six or seven years old, the old woman sent someone to fetch me. The establishment we frequented was in Leesburg Florida where the root lady had her operation setup in a weathered wooden building out in the country. Like a scene from Zora Neal Hurston’s novel “Mules and Men”; we traveled down a dusty road passing cow pastures and orange groves. Finally, in the distance, I could see a barn and a lone giant oak tree shading a small building that housed a greasy spoon café and the root woman’s lair. The root lady must have been very popular because people would be everywhere. Her clientele appeared to consist of black people but sometimes white people were among the patrons. Old men sat under the giant oak tree swapping stories and drinking moonshine. Children played marbles and hopscotch in the dirt while others watched the cows come and go from a barnyard adjacent to the juke joint. The scent of frying fish, chicken, and other Southern culinary delights wafted through the heavy hot air. Women dress in starched pleated skirts scurried about laughing, and occasionally crying upon exiting the lair of the root lady. An old outhouse in the back of the structure completed the scene and sometimes when the wind blew just right; one would think Satan himself was taking a dump back there. It was during one of these trips that I was summoned into the dingy lit lair of the root lady. I had never accompanied Pearlie Mae inside the room to see her. However, on this occasion, one of the ladies traveling with us came outside and told me to follow her. Upon entering the mysterious room, I saw roots and strange bones hanging from the ceiling. Wooden boards formed shelves on the walls and held bottles and jars of powders, oils and strange stuff that I had never seen before. The lighting in the room was dim and in the corner I observed Pearlie Mae sitting stiff, her eyes covered by the dark glasses blind people wear. In the middle of the room was an old desk behind which the root lady sat staring at me intently. She motioned for me to sit in the chair in front of the desk and asked for my hands. I was reluctant to allow this woman to touch me because she looked like the Witch from the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. Her eyes were yellow with jet black pupils and sat sunken back into her head as if they were being dragged into a black hole. Her nose was crooked, her teeth rotten and her skin wrinkled beyond anything I had seen in my young years. I was around age 6 at the time. Taking my small hands into her emaciated claws, she cackled “the child has the mark”. She released my hands and focused on the Tarot cards spread out on the desk before her. She looked over at Pearlie Mae and asked: “is this boy named Kenneth?” Pearlie Mae nodded her head in the affirmative and the witch dismissed me with a wave of her gnarled right hand toward the door. I would not know the meaning of this strange meeting until many years later after I became a spiritual practitioner. After I hung out my shingle as a Spiritual Practitioner and Adviser, Pearlie Mae recalled the event from my youth. One hot Florida afternoon I went to her house to deliver the dream books she asked me to find. She knew I was telling fortunes on the internet, and she asked if I could find the King Tut and Aunt Sally’s Dream Books for her and a close friend. Many people use these books to discern their dreams and obtain the numbers in order to play the lottery. In Pearl’s day, she played a weekly numbers game they called Cuba but was actually Bolita. She would have me to look up her dreams and give her the corresponding number. For example, perhaps she dreamed of the dead. So the number might be 13, 9 and 11. People call and write me today for numbers to hit the lottery. I’ve not had much success at it as much as others who swear by this ancient system of divination and numerology. Bolita (Spanish for Little Ball), is a type of lottery which was popular in the latter 19th and 20th centuries in Cuba and among Florida's working class Hispanic, Italian, and black population. In the basic bolita game, 100 small numbered balls are placed into a bag and mixed thoroughly, and bets are taken on which number will be drawn. [1] “Do you remember the root lady in Leesburg?” Pearlie Mae asked, her hands clutching the coveted dream books tightly. I answered in the affirmative and inquired why she asked me. “Remember she looked at your hand and said you have the mark?” She then told me the rest of the conversation that took place when I left the root woman’s office. The old gypsy fortune teller had seen the letter “M” in my right palm. Palm readers say a person with this rare marking is seen as gifted individuals who hold extraordinary intuition. She said the woman told her that I was destined to become a world famous root doctor. The old woman told Pearlie Mae not to say anything to me about it until she observed that I was following this peculiar calling. “This gift runs in both your father and mother’s family line.” Pearlie Mae said. “But I was told not to teach you nor discourage you from learning if you showed interest in roots.” That conversation with Pearlie Mae solved the mystery of the meeting I had with the gypsy root woman. Indeed I had been curious about the occult as a child and into my teens. However, I never revealed my interest to anyone. It was a part of myself that I kept hidden for fear of recrimination and punishment. I was a voracious reader as a child and daily frequented the library to delve into my secret interest about magick, especially Hermetics. Hoodoo was a part of my life but no one taught me about it. I observed Pearlie Mae sprinkling sachet powders when tenants didn’t pay their rent. Within two or three days, the unwanted tenants would pack and leave. At the time I didn’t know she was hot footing them out of the rooming house. I also witnessed her sprinkling green powders in front of rooms that were vacant. Soon thereafter she would have inquiries to rent the rooms. This was my first observation of money drawing magick. Additionally, I observed her annual ritual of washing several dolls she kept on a wall shelf and laundering their clothes with herbs in a bowl of water. Each doll was named after someone in her inner circle and she would talk to them kindly telling them how to act toward her. There was a doll for my mother, Sarah, a doll for Ms. Roberta who managed the bar, a doll for Grady who was Pearl’s man, etc. Working voodoo dolls also known as poppets in hoodoo is a common practice to positively influence or to maim and kill one’s target. [2] Pearlie Mae and I were avid church members and attended services weekly. You could say I was raised in the church, and at age 15 I professed a call to preach. As I pursued the ministry over the years, I forgot about what I witnessed in my childhood. I was a gung-ho evangelical with a bloodlust against anyone who practiced witchcraft. When I saw Papa Smurf making his potions on the cartoon The Smurfs, I forbade my children from watching the show. I had an evangelist’s zeal against the occult not realizing I had a date with destiny. I was the Senior Pastor of a Assemblies of God Church in Montbello Colorado just outside of Denver. It was the church of my dreams replete with a K-12 Christian school and TV ministry. I was the 9th pastor at the helm of the church in 15 years. Every pastor that was called to lead the congregation found himself embroiled in controversy and fired soon thereafter by the board. I was on the second of two 40 days fast within a four month period. The Bible says that some spiritual difficulties can only be resolved by prayer and fasting. So I asked the congregation for volunteers to fast with me, and we met daily at dawn in the sanctuary to pray. Upon assuming the leadership of the church I found trails of missing money market certificates totaling tens of thousands of dollars. As I dug deeper in the financial web, it became apparent a group of individuals was draining the church dry with exorbitant salaries and perks. In my attempt to right the listing ship, several influential members were taken off the payroll and benefits were cut. The fight was on and soon a group of members was plotting to overthrow my leadership. It became apparent three individuals who appeared more spiritual than others were leading the rebellion. When I stood in the pulpit to deliver sermons, they sat with arms folded staring at me while mouthing words silently. At first, I thought they were simply speaking in tongues but later realized they were invoking an incantation. The 40 day fast was hard on my body especially the second fast because I drank only water and a little orange juice. No amount of prayer and fasting appeared strong enough to break the grip those individuals had over the church. I found myself unable to function and I was depressed and disheartened. It was in a closed congregational business meeting I resigned out of frustration. Upon hearing that I resigned the three individuals seated together muttered out loud. “Finally, thank God!” It was then that a light turned on and I entertained the possibility that I had fought something other than the devil in the church. I can’t say exactly when the idea came to me that I was fighting witchcraft. Perhaps it was God finally answering my prayers. A few years later I ran into this energy again in a church in Orlando Florida where I was an associate pastor. It was revealed to me by a visiting evangelist that I was hot footed by the pastor’s wife who had become envious of my ministry years earlier. Everywhere I turned in the evangelical movement I was confronted by witchcraft. It was then I realized that I needed to know about this energy and how to protect myself from it. As I slowly moved away from organized religion I found myself associated with sheep not of the denominational fold. I reinvented myself as a spiritual practitioner online during the early days of the internet. Eventually joining several forums for the occult, specifically witchcraft and hoodoo. My digital footprint as a tarot reader and rootworker was growing. My popularity and success was noticed and garnered the evil eyes of witches and warlocks. Several of them attacked en masse to destroy me out of jealousy. At that time my knowledge base about witchcraft and the ATR’s was infantile. I was a known hoodoo practitioner but was limited in the knowledge of the aforementioned systems of spirituality. Answering my appeal for help a group of spiritual practitioners intervened and assisted me. The intervention was through the ATR known as Palo Mayombe. This system of spirituality from the Congo of Africa was new to me. It both frightened and fascinated me. The psychic remedy called for the sacrifice of a red rooster to the Palo nkisi Sarabanda. In addition, a special makutu (amulet) was recommended to bring the energy of the warrior nkisi into my life and surroundings. The attack was abated and a wizard who allegedly was leading the attack against me tragically lost his life. Impressed by the results of Palo Mayombe, I began to study about this powerful and feared form of Congo spirituality. Within 5 years of attack, I was initiated into Palo Mayombe as Tata Nganga (High Priest of the Altar) and given licensia (permission) to step into the duties of a High Priest in Palo Mayombe. The experiences I had with organized religion and online convinced me of the necessity to know how to defend myself psychically. Psychic threats are real and exist all around us. The Soviet Union is known to have carried out many military experiments utilizing psychics. [3] People from all walks of life use magic, hoodoo, roots, and witchcraft. I should know because as a spiritual practitioner, they call me by the thousands every year. Who does magic? How about your neighbor next door? Or your boss? Your mate? Grandma? The grocery store clerk? My clientele consists of white collar professionals, entertainers, politicians and ordinary people. Reality TV stars call me, major cable news anchors call me. Airline attendants, CEOs, stock brokers, escorts and drug dealers call me to help them deal with life magically. Magic is everywhere. Why should you know about witchcraft? Because you need to know how to protect yourself and your family. Because you need to know how to respond to the haters and backbiters who will at some point try to block you and destroy you. You may be a good person and attend church regularly. You treat people honestly and fairly yet you find your life stunted. Nothing you do has moved you ahead. No amount of prayer, fasting or sanctified sacrifice has broken the stranglehold of negativity choking you. Why can’t you keep a relationship? Why aren’t you advancing on your job? Why is it every contract you bid on is rejected. What is causing the blocks to your success, love, and happiness in life? Perhaps what is happening to you is being exacerbated by witchcraft. Perhaps someone has put the evil eye on you and your family. Perhaps you have run afoul of a witch in your community, at school, on the job or in your family. A family member could be working witchcraft on you right under your nose. Pearlie Mae tried to control my life using hoodoo. At one point in my life, I could not settle down anywhere. I wandered across America unable to establish a home for my growing family of seven. It wasn’t until I finally moved back to my hometown of Cocoa, FL that I was able to settle. It was apparent something was working against me and the evidence was soon revealed. Pearl would often say to me that I would not settle down until I returned to Cocoa. She eventually told me she expected me and my family to move in with her. A psychic reader later confirmed Pearlie Mae had a hot foot spell with a return to me rider spell cast years earlier. Here is an example of someone close to you working magick to interfere with the destiny of your life. It took years of wandering and feeling displaced before I discovered what was done to me by a loved one. One can only question what other spells and charms may have been worked to block my progress and success. Another example I can share is when a client’s mother in law decided to work roots against her marriage. The mother in law was actually a National Teacher of the Year. The client was caught between an abusive husband and a conniving mother in law. The mother in law’s intent was to break up the marriage. She created confusion and caused violence in the home. Eventually, I had to craft a psychic response to defend the client and to warn the witch. The marriage ended in divorce and the mother in law fell down the stairs breaking her leg in three places! She ceased and desisted her meddling after the fall. In a Pollyanna world, guns and self-defense course are not needed. However, in this world where mentally ill people have access to weapons and arcane occult knowledge, having a good defense makes good sense. I am a gun owner not because I enjoy shooting guns, but because I must have protection. I have a security system on my house for the same reason. You may not like guns but you know it makes good sense to own one, just in case. You don’t have to be violent or a bully to learn self-defense. It just makes sense that you do. I submit that knowing about witchcraft falls under the heading “It makes sense”. There are people plotting and scheming against you and your loved ones. They may never make themselves known or get in your face. However, they are the ones hovering over cauldrons and candles at midnight calling incantations over your name. They are the ones making sacrifices of animals over your pictures with the intent to obstruct, harm or kill you. They are the ones who bury images of you or your family in a grave with a fork stuck through the photograph to keep you down and oppress you by a malevolent spirit. Shouldn’t you know how to respond to psychic attacks? Shouldn’t you be aware of how to protect yourself and love ones from psychic maliciousness and demonic harassment? If you’ve answered yes, then you are ready for this book. If you answered no, continue to place your head in a hole in the ground. As the late Prosperity Preacher Rev. Ike would say “You’re in the perfect position to get a swift kick in the ass”. June 2017, Rev.

 Have you ever wondered who benefits from putting God in a bad light? By bad light I mean the teaching that God is angry and views his creation of man as flawed and imperfect. How can we believe the teachings that tell us God is Love when we are also told that God views us as sinners and God hates sinners? Who benefits from this distortion? I submit that the beneficiaries are organized religion and the ruler of this world known as Lucifer.
What Actually Happened In The Garden of Eden? In the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve were told not to touch the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Up until then Adam and Eve were only aware of their Divine Nature. Imperfection, hate and the lack of love did not exist in their awareness. God had already given the awareness of good and evil to Lucifer the Morning Star with disastrous results. Lucifer being aware of this dichotomy within himself assumed the form of a talking serpent ( the ego) in the Garden of Eden (Heaven within) and polluted the mind of the female with a lie. The female, Eve represents our creative nature and our power of choice. The man, Adam also represents our reproductive nature. Additionally I feel Adam represents the watchman of the soul. He was already forewarned by God to beware of the dichotomy of Good and Evil. It was Adam's job to instruct Eve and be ever vigilant against falsehood. Combined we see the profile of ego, spirit and delusion which is present in the human personality. “Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” Gen. 3 Why You Don't Feel Good Enough? When Lucifer the arch angel was formed he was more beautiful than all other angels. Being created with the knowledge of both good and evil he reveled in his beauty and desired worship over God his creator. Lucifer represents the ego in this narrative. Ego likes to usurp the I AM Presence and demands constant attention. It is horrible at giving advice and often leads astray through the senses and other influences. God cast Lucifer and his worshipers out of heaven. The story says God cast the fallen angel down to earth and he was give permission to rule its inhabitants. Knowing that humankind is one of God’s crowning creations caused jealousy to form in the heart of Lucifer. Lucifer is the father of hate and has spawned many haters with the evil eye. Lucifer wanted God to look at him with the same love God looked upon humanity with. Instead, God banished him from Heaven, so Lucifer decided to get back at God by turning his creation against Him. Lucifer saw his opportunity to turn God’s beloved sons and daughters against the Heavenly Father by planting a lie against God. “Hath God said” he asked? Lucifer made God into the bad guy by inferring he was denying something good to the inhabitants of the Garden of Eden. He questioned the Mind of Spirit. As we know Eve ignored God’s instructions as given to Adam and did as her ego bided her. As a result for not listening to the Spirit I AM, she and Adam became aware of the illusions of lack, sickness, disease and death. Organize religion has gone to great lengths to prove that humankind is fallen and unloved by God. The intention behind this insidious strategy is to cause humankind to forever lose sight of the love of our Creator. To cause you to turn to the priests and preachers to earn salvation or to devise your own spirituality. This has been the gospel according to organized religion since time immortal. Again I ask who benefits from this distortion? The Truth Revealed - YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD! What i would like to propose is that this story is largely allegorical and hides the hidden truths about our Divine Being. If you are made to believe that God doesn’t love you and that you are bad in God’s eyes, then why try to please God? In fact, this teaching is so ingrained in most Christians they cannot divorce themselves from the falsehood that they are sinners in the hands of an angry God. This is exactly the mindset organized religion requires to perpetuate itself. People have been trying to earn their way out of hell and purgatory ever since. Nothing can be further from the truth. You were created in the Image of Almighty God, whatever form He or She felt convenient to assume in your person. You were created and formed in divine love as was Adam and Eve. But being subject to the spirit of this world (Lucifer) - your awareness was hijacked. You were made to either disbelieve in God or to question God’s good plan for your life. You were brainwashed into believing you are not good enough. You were set on a course determined by the spirit of this world vis a vie your ego to live a life without God because God is an angry God. Like many, you struggle with self love and desire to be validated and affirmed. This was Lucifer’s dilemma and psychologically it is the ego seeking attention. The ego is brutal. It seeks attention but no matter how much attention it receives, it is never enough. It seeks to detract from the Divine Awareness of who you really are. You are not good enough ego says. God is not happy with you ego says. God will never be happy with you. The condemnation is relentless and assumes a different form in our lives everyday. However in a moment of clarity the Apostle Paul dictated: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who possess the Christed Awareness.” The truth of your Divine Being will always prevail over the lies of ego and the spirit of this world. You are loved by God! Take back your life today and begin living as the Divine Being you are. Know you are created in the exact Image of the Creator and your creation was an act of Love with your genesis in the heart of God. Realize that low self esteem and the yearning for love and attention is a projection by the spirit of this world. Stop siding with Lucifer in his quest to earn his Creator’s love and admiration. YOU ALREADY HAVE GOD'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and SHE LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY! Realize you have been bamboozled and hoodwinked by the Angel of Light. Misery loves company they say and Lucifer is seeing to it that your mind torments you day and night with low self esteem, loneliness and the lack of love. Thats his issue not yours. Know yourself or someone else will tell you who you are. You are no longer subject to receive the transmission of Lucifer and the ego. You have permission to turn it off by tuning into the Divine Frequency within you. Heaven is within the Master said. Seek and you shall find, knock and the door will open to you. Ask and it shall be given. A new life awaits you the moment you accept the Christ Awareness. This awareness will dethrone the spirit of this world that has hypnotized you to the truth of your being. God is love. Organized religion and the spirit of this world would have you believe otherwise. Ask yourself why? ©2017 Rev. Dr. Christos Kioni |
