Nora’s family was anti-Christian, immersed in Wicca - a pagan religion that involved spell-casting and using Ouija boards. As she grew older, she began casting spells herself, searching for meaning. But as Nora delved deeper, she would experience scary moments when her Ouija board would shift on its own, hinting at forces beyond her control. Around the same time, she started dating a Catholic in college who invited her to Mass, where one profound moment changed her life forever.
What was it like to be raised Wiccan? How do practices of the occult indicate the existence of a supernatural reality? What are the flaws in the occult and New Age philosophies and how is Jesus the answer to our deep longing for the unseen? Today I sit down with Nora Jensen, a former Wiccan who looked down on Christians. She shares her supernatural experiences while practicing spells with her parents, which left her with a lingering sense of caution and doubt about her childhood beliefs, ultimately leading her to convert to the Catholic faith. She discusses a mystical experience of receiving God's love during the exchange of peace at Mass and how it changed her life forever.
