The Roman Catholic practice of canonizing saints and praying to them, and their Rosary to Mary, are prime examples of sha’al ‘owb. It is “necromancy—the conjuration of the spirits of the dead for the purpose of influencing the course of events.” To “conjure” is “to summon and earnestly entreat by invocation for a benefit.” An incantation is “a ritualistic formula of words, written and recited, that are designed to produce a particular effect.” Necromancy, conjuring, and incantations are usually associated with the Devil. God does not like them or him. The most popular expression of all of this is found in the entertainment industry. Books, games, and movies based on wizards, dragons, magic, and spiritual forces permeate the culture. A continual exposure to these occult-based themes eventually has its effect, poisoning the victim slowly, gradually destroying the victim’s ability to judge right from wrong. And they all lead away from Yah, from life, from camping out with our Creator.
