As the author reached higher and higher levels of the high Priesthood, he found that wicca is nothing more than on eof Satan's most clever recruiting tools, designed to lead many into actual Satan worship. Here is the fascinating personal testimony of a man who stepped into this Satanic trap, and the thrilling account of how he was rescued by jesus Christ.
Rev. William "Bill" James Schnoebelen is an American Messianic Christian apologist, author, teacher and lecturer. He is best known as a strong critic of Mormonism, Freemasonry and Wicca. Once primarily published by Chick Publications, he has authored publications in over 14 countries. He is founder and director of the Christian-based ministry With One Accord Ministries.
Bill Schnoebelen lived on the dark side for many years. He was a 90 degree Freemason, a member of the Illuminati, a Satanic Priest, a Catholic Priest and even more. Then one day his monthly tithe check to the church of Satan came back from the bank with a note on the back - ``I'll be praying for you in Jesus' name ". Within a week he lost his demonic power. Later he became a Born Again Christian, and he now has his own ministry. Bill has been in ministry, mostly full-time, since 1986, and no one has yet been able to disprove any of the claims he has made about his admittedly rather bizarre history.
I am Wiccan. This book is highly offensive. Wiccans do not worship Satan. Satanists worship Satan. Wiccans are, if anything, the "hippies" of religion. We worship nature. Intact, most wiccans including myself don't believe Satan exists. So obviously we dont worship him. A popular Wiccan deity is "the horned god". People hear that and associate him with Satan but they are two different deities of two different beliefs. Writing this book is giving a huge middle finger to wiccans. And that's not fair. We don't worship Satan, or curse people, or throw small children into a cauldron. This author is so ignorant. He should do research before publishing anything that could offend an entire religious population. He should've taken time to study us instead of spreading misconceptions.
A very enlightening, informative read. One could safely guess at least 90% of 1-star reviews of this book both here and on Google's Play Store belong to Wiccans hurt by the title that haven't even actually read the thing for themselves. To these people, I'd suggest reading at least the free sample on the Play Store, since it has the first 50 pages or so available. But I strongly advise reading the whole thing. Both the author and his wife were High Priests of the Alexandrian tradition for years, he didn't came up with this story out of his head. This is not a novel book and his experience on the field is far larger than most of his detractors that just got pulled into this spiritual quagmire out of fascination and trend. The main complain is that Wiccans say they don't worship nor even recognize Satan, period. What a weak and easily refutable argument! This isn't about what one actually believes he's doing nor what he's taught to believe, but what one actually does. You can rename the color "blue" into whatever you want and teach others so, but in the end, "blue" will still be blue. Wicca as known today was a fabricated religion by the end of the 1940's and its relation with Crowley is undeniable as the author points out through solid references and footnotes along the book. Those worshipping the "Horned God" are just fooling themselves if they sincerely think he's not the old serpent. Ultimately, he's the one behind the power of the spells and magicks, just like with everything else involving occultism that is not a gross swindle. He does so in order to lead men astray from God, for sorcery and all its forms are an abomination to the One, True God (Rev 21:8). Wicca was tailor-made for the counter-culture of the 1960's and the hippie movement, anyone not spiritually blind will get to the same conclusion. These are indeed the end of times, since it's so easy to fool thousands with the whole "ecological" speech and vibe. If you're reading this and you fell for this trap, go to Jesus Christ while you still got the chance, for you're running out of time. He's the Way, The Truth and The Life and He loves you and can set you free, just like as He did with both the author and me. God bless you.
I'm only about half-way through this book and reading to throw it into the fireplace. This, I'm not even sure if I can call him a man, William Schnoebelen has no idea what he is talking about. I'm Wiccan and received this book as something to read from a family member who is Christian and worried about my soul. This book takes advantage of those who do not understand Wicca and exploits their fears. Wiccans don't even think/believe that "Satan" exists, if fact they only people that do think/believe he exists are Christians and their counterpart Satanists. Needless to say if you want to read a book of lies and hypocrisy then go ahead and read this book, otherwise stay away from it.
this was a very amusing book on the misconceptions and ignorance of those of so called fundamentalist Christian faiths that even included the Catholic church as so called "Satan worshippers" when in fact Wiccans do not recognize the concept of Satan nor do we worship him. Its a must read of cancerous writing that exists in the world of intolerance. Right up there with the 700 club!
A waste of time. I wouldn't pay good money to buy it. I borrowed it but couldn't get past the first few pages. Same old religious drivel. Go back to school and educate yourself so you don't look a fool. (Star rating doesn't go low enough).
