Catholic Prayer Against Witchcraft: Break Free Today

When Darkness Seeks to Harm

The Catholic Church has recognized throughout its history that spiritual warfare includes protection from occult practices and witchcraft that invoke demonic powers. Scripture clearly condemns witchcraft, sorcery, divination, and all attempts to manipulate spiritual forces apart from God’s authority. The early Church confronted pagan magical practices extensively, with converts burning their occult books and renouncing all involvement with dark spiritual powers. Saints and exorcists have documented cases of genuine spiritual oppression resulting from witchcraft, curses, and occult involvement requiring deliverance through prayer and sacraments.

The Church teaches that while God’s power infinitely surpasses all evil, Christians must remain vigilant against spiritual attacks and renounce all occult involvement. Modern culture increasingly normalizes witchcraft through entertainment and New Age practices, exposing people to spiritual dangers they do not recognize. Prayer sustains protection from evil spiritual influences, breaks bondage from past occult involvement, and establishes freedom through Christ’s victory over darkness. Catholics pray for deliverance from witchcraft’s effects, for strength to resist occult temptations, and for God’s protection against all evil spiritual forces.

They use divination trying to access forbidden knowledge about future events. They practice magic believing they can control outcomes through rituals and incantations.
