A recent survey found 30% of Americans use astrology, tarot cards, or fortune tellers yearly. Many claim it’s just fun, but experts warn even casual engagement risks spiritual harm. Former psychic Jen Nizza calls the trend “horrific,” saying these practices open dangerous doors regardless of intent.
Young women drive the surge, with 43% of females aged 18-49 believing astrology affects their lives. Though most users say they’re seeking entertainment, Nizza challenges this assumption. She argues curiosity alone invites darkness, asking, “How sure are we they don’t believe a little bit?”
Nizza, now a Christian, stresses motives don’t matter. Using divination tools crosses God’s boundaries, she says, calling it a “demonic door” that endangers souls. Her warnings come as spirituality rises while traditional religion declines, creating a vacuum filled by occult interests.
The survey shows 27% of Americans believe planetary positions impact daily life—a statistic unchanged in decades. Critics blame social media and pandemic isolation for normalizing practices once seen as fringe. Platforms like TikTok now host thriving communities around occult hobbies.
Nizza’s transformation from psychic to believer highlights the spiritual battle she says underlies these trends. She insists demons exploit any engagement, no matter how casual. “Entertainment” becomes a gateway, eroding discernment and drawing people deeper into deception.
Christian leaders echo her concerns, urging believers to reject all forms of divination. They cite biblical prohibitions against witchcraft and fortune-telling, framing current trends as ancient evils repackaged for modern audiences. The rise reflects a culture seeking answers outside faith, they argue.
While 70% of Americans identify as spiritual, only 24% say they’ve grown more religious over time. This shift toward personalized spirituality leaves many vulnerable to harmful practices disguised as harmless fun. Nizza’s story serves as a cautionary tale for those dabbling in darkness.
The call is clear: True protection comes from rejecting occult influences entirely. As Nizza puts it, “You can’t play with fire without getting burned.” For Christians, the answer lies in clinging to Scripture—not stars, cards, or psychic predictions—to navigate life’s uncertainties.
