I've been noticing an uptick in satanic apparel out there when I'm in the public. I'm talking about inverted crosses, baphomet, and pentagrams -- not just part of some metal band or dark themed shirt, but actually just satanic garbage. I'm wondering if anyone else is noticing this increase out there. Also, I'm trying to think of anything good to say that might help them realize what they are supporting and the error of their ways. I think most people are doing so not fully understanding what they are supporting. I think most people are doing it to be edgy and want to make people feel uncomfortable. I think most of these people don't believe in God or Satan, which is the #1 lie Satan deceives people with. What are your guy's thoughts?

I don't doubt it, plus all the rainbow stuff. I may experiment with unusual styles, like cloaks and skirts, but I try to research the history behind some of my garments before making a decision.

I live in an incredibly red area, so this isn't something I've noticed here. However, it does seem like I'm noticing a lot more witches and witchery shops. I have a relative who is a witch and a friend who used to be a witch, so I kinda know a bit about the situation. Articles and witches themselves are saying there is a rise in witches/witchcraft. I think it is being attributed to it just being trendy right now, but I am not into it that sort of thing so I don't know.
Also, like timemeddler, I'm noticing a rise in rainbow stuff...a very big rise in very recent years.

Really doubtful you'll change anyone's mind. It had simply become acceptable to no longer treat some things as 'evil'. I watch a lot of YouTube and notice that people are unphased by much anymore. And it's not that they're trying to be edgy (well not all of them), but rather it's become common enough people don't think twice about it.
Same as how people wear cross jewelry regardless of what they believe. It's just seen as harmless fashion.
And the notions of satanic imagery and beliefs is a actually in the mainstream music now, not just metal bands. Pop stars and rappers are openly presenting such things in their love shows, on their albums and even some of their merch.

Thank you all for your comments!

Yes, definitely seeing a rise in the rainbow stuff, with the most concerning part being the acceptance and promotion of it in some of the churches. A couple of churches near my home that had the pride flag flying a while back. The rainbow / pride stuff is satanic, especially the "trans" movement the media and corporations are pushing. At the heart of it, people are denying that God created them (or created them correctly) and they must remake themselves in their own image.

I think Jonathan Cahn has some great insight into why this is all coming about: Jonathan Cahn: The Exposed TRUTH Behind the Dark Trinity in the World (Full Episode) | Praise on TBN (especially the 10th segment starting at around 22:20)

I think it's important to understand also why we are seeing this "return of the gods", Jonathan speaks of. In my view, the scripture reading that took place in congress after 9/11 highlights how far from God America has traveled, and how largely in defiance we have grown. (Senator Tom Daschle 9/12/2001 Senate Response to the 9/11 attacks, from The Bible)

The passage Tom Daschle read, in biblical context, is not a message of hope for the people that we will overcome the attacks on 9/11 (and all the lies about what happened that day). It is a message of defiance and pride. Reading with the previous passage this is clear:


Isaiah 9:9-10

And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart, The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.


Johnathan's earlier book "The Harbinger" talks about 9/11 being a warning of coming judgement to the United States, which I believe is accurate and has definitely played out as such since then. Looking at Isaiah 5:5 and what God says he will do to Israel because of their disobedience it is clear to me that judgement can be parabolized as God removing His hedge of protection from a nation allowing all manner of evil to overrun it; hence the "return of the gods (or evil spirits)"


Isaiah 5:5

And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:



America needs to repent and return to God. Otherwise we will only continue to see an increase of this satanic garbage.

I've noticed a rise on witch things at regular stores too like Walmart or TJ Maxx. I've seen tarot cards and voodoo dolls. It's shocking! They make them look cute and normal. I stay far away from all that junk.

I had neighbors who had a doormat outside their front door that was made to look like a Ouija board, and I had to walk past it frequently to get the mail, etc.

I'm the type of person who can't watch horror movies and flinches when I see ads for things like those ghost-hunting shows -- just the thought of the demonic realm has always given me the shivers and I don't want anything to do with it.

I would cringe inside every time I saw this mat, but it was also a reminder to pray for the people inside, even though I never met them.

About a year later, there is now a very normal looking "Welcome" mat with a floral print outside the door.

I don't know if the people moved and there is someone new living there now, but whenever I encounter these kinds of "decorations" or clothing, I find it a good reminder to myself to double down on my prayers.

I noticed it a decade or so ago - there was almost a whole generation brought up that thought Wicca was cool. From the sounds, the witches don't even need to hide anymore.

I don't really notice witches, but certainly deranged people and those practicing abominations. Crazy-coloured-hair women, kids that dress and act like (a defective member of) the opposite gender, sodomites acting as if their relationship is normal. Maybe the fruits of witchcraft, rather than satanic imagery.

I think these people troll Christians, those are my thoughts. I've mentioned elsewhere in regards to this topic that i don't think i've ever met or seen a serious Satanic person who would do a lot of evil deeds including killing, stealing or what have you.
I've even been to Salem Massachusetts the self-proclaimed witch-town and all i saw was a town where they were trying to capitalize and monetize on the whole witch topic, nothing more.
I have heard of real satanists from my extended family or friends or my priest at the church but me personally, all i've seen is basically people who troll christians.

Here's an example here since it popped up on my news feed yesterday: 'Hail the eternal rebel!' Satanist gives opening prayer at county meeting in Reno as furious commissioner storms out in protest (msn.com)

If you read that article you will see that you have a kid on Instagram who is trolling Christians.

What could be satanic is polyester clothing. Those microfibres shed and go into waterways and never break down.
It used to be rags got recycled into paper, but now Im not sure what happens to old clothes after they are given away to op shop and worn to shreds. I suppose you could turn them into quilts but polysters is such a cheap and throw away synthetic material, and its hot and sticky to wear.
