Things you didn’t know were witchcraft
Here is a list of aspects related to witchcraft or interactions with demonic and unclean spirits. Engaging in these practices can open doors for such spirits to negatively impact your life. While these elements are not inherently evil on their own, they do involve the influence of demonic entities. It is important to understand that there are no good spirits outside of God; this notion is simply not possible. No angel or spirit would manipulate energy, outcomes, or people according to human desires. Divine spirits follow God's directives exclusively. Humans can only interact with angels and spirits that do not adhere to God, which enables them to fulfill human requests through spells and other means.
Note: Even if you are praying for protection while participating in these activities, you are still permitting demons and unclean spirits into your life. By making this agreement, you allow them to bring havoc and chaos. Any level of participation constitutes consent.
Manifestation
You are putting your faith about the future and your desires into the universe instead of God and his divine timing. Familiar spirits are then allowed to manipulate people and energy to create whatever outcome you desire. Spirits that are not working with God are working with Satan.
Chanting/Mantra
This can cause you to go into a trans state, it also invites evil spirits to do your bidding. These spirits can disguise themselves as whatever would fool you into continuing to call upon them, which can be indirectly done through chanting/mantra. This act also dishonors God. You are chanting to spirits instead of praying and singing to God.
Astrology/ Palm readings/ Astrocartography/ Tarot/ Fortune tellers/ Horoscopes/ Birth charts
These are forms of divination that is forbidden in the Bible. While God did use astrology to show cosmic signs of the birth of Jesus. Partaking in divination like astrology is a self righteous act of trying to look into your future and everything that affects your life and life choices. You should seek God directly for answers about your life rather than seeking someone else or putting matters into your own hands.
Zodiac signs
Zodiac signs go hand in hand with Astrology. Each sign was named after a planet, while also being named after “gods” which are actually demons. By identifying as a sign in the zodiac, you are ,whether intentionally or not, identifying your personality traits and behavior with that demon. You are made in God’s image, therefore you should identity yourself as God’s child like Jesus.
Yoga
A spiritual practice that yolks you to demonic entities through hand positions, poses, and balancing chakras. When you do a yoga pose it is an act of worship to different "gods" which are actually demons.
Crystals
Seeking healing from objects rather than seeking God is an idolatrous act putting power onto something inanimate. By doing so it allows spirits to use your faith in them as an open door to access you and your energy.
Incense/Sage/Protection oils/ Protection potions/ Spirit cleansers/ Evil eye
These things garner protection from other sources than God. Satan will not destroy the spirits working under him. These forms of cleansers and protection simply move the spirits around. Think of it like reorganizing a cluttered pantry then adding more items once its organized. Nothing was thrown out or cleaned, simply reorganized.
Gossip
Gossip is a malicious spirit that can cause division and negatively influence the way people see each other. Even if the “bad news/information” about someone is true, sharing shameful information about someone can still be gossip. Words spoken about each other should be done to show love and uplift others. Spirits can use gossip to “curse” someone or use it as a source of negative energy. Whether intentionally or not, you feed and give power to evil spirits with every word of gossip you speak.
Mediums
This form of divination uses demonic spirits to gain insight. Most mediums tend to believe they are contacting human spirits, spirit guides, or angels but are actually contacting evil spirits disguising themselves as such. These demonic spirits can make accurate predictions and have correct information about people due to familiar spirits. Familiar spirits run in family lines from generation to generation. They have a plethora of information gathered over hundreds to thousands of years. Mediums knowingly or unknowingly are consulting malevolent spirits not of God.

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.

Isaiah 8:19-20
19 When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God?

Deuteronomy 18:10-11
