Several public universities in Texas are now offering courses on witchcraft and devil worship, the Christian Post (CP) reports.
Many universities, including Texas Tech University (TTU), are offering these courses through their women and gender study programs.
TTU is offering a course on “Witches, Bruxas, & Black Magic” that according to its syllabus will “study beliefs and practices, past and present, associated with magic, witchcraft, spirituality, magical realism, and religion.” The course curriculum will cover topics including “ritual, symbolism, mythology, altered states of consciousness, and healing.”
Bruxas refers to a group of women in the Middle Ages who came out at night to suck blood out of infants and also had the ability to turn into other types of animals such as rats or ducks.
They are very similar to another night demon mentioned in the Bible, Lilith (Isaiah 34:14).
Similar to Bruxas, Lilith was a female demon that came out at night and was often portrayed with the body of a woman along with bird characteristics such as wings and bird’s feet. It was also believed to attack children.
Perhaps it is just a coincidence, but the Lilith demon is also prominently portrayed in a new video game, Diablo IV, just released by Blizzard Entertainment.
But TTU is not the only university offering courses of this nature. According to CP, so is the University of Texas.
It is offering several witchcraft-themed courses including one on the History of Witchcraft that will study the prosecution of witches in Europe between 1100 and 1700. It is also offering other courses, including “Demonic Possession and Witchcraft,” and “Worship of the Devil.”
It’s part of a growing trend worldwide that is seeing witchcraft and even devil worship emerging from the shadows and becoming mainstream.
A survey conducted in France in 2022 by Ifop found that 40% of those under the age of 35 seriously believed in witchcraft as did 25% of those over the age of 35. In the general population, Ifop stated 32% believe in witchcraft, compared to only 27% a few years ago.
And even Devil worship is becoming mainstream as many believe it was the theme of this year’s Grammy performance by popstar Sam Smith.
Along with this, the Satanic Temple is currently raising money, so it can send a rock band called the Satanic Planet on a tour of American state capitols, the Daily Caller reports. It would be the anti-mimic of Christian musician Sean Feucht’s “Let Us Worship” tours of American cities in 2021 and 2022.
This increasing acceptance of Devil worship and even witchcraft may explain how society will eventually reach the point where the Antichrist will not only demand worship, but people will willingly give it:
No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 NASV)
It is time for Christians to gear up and put on their spiritual armor as we are entering a time of spiritual conflict.
