I'm Sara Raztresen, a Christian kitchen witch and fantasy writer out to help other people discover the magic in the mundane and stay creative in their passions and projects. Here you can expect to find content about Christian witchery, practical cooking and magic tips, the writing process, and other services related to spirituality and writing (such as tarot readings, editing services, and other spiritual or artistic mentorship).
I'm on a journey to becoming a published fantasy author-but in the meantime, come with me and see a bit of how fantasy-minded folk can make their everyday lives just as adventurous!

This was a good watch. I just got done reading Jason Miller’s Protection and Reversal Magick and he too goes into the topic of exorcism. And like you said, a proper exorcism is an entire ritual and a process and it can be very dangerous. I saw those clips you shared and I even went through similar situations back when I was a fundamentalist Christian. It’s really sad that many of these people substitute mental health for “demonic attack.” It really shows their ignorance and how abusive it is.
Personal opinion when it comes to any sort of spirit, be them ancestors, deities, angels, demons, Fae etc... if a person continuously speaks bad of them, blames them for everything that goes wrong in life.... Chances are sometimes those entities will retalliate. I agree 100% that most exorcism cases were somehow orchestrated by the church, in the sense that the "possessed" were actually mentally ill, and needed professional help, but instead they were deceived into believing a demon was inside of them. But for those cases that might have been real, or that are real demonic possessions or poltergeists or whatnot... Just a wild thought, but maybe sometimes the "devils" are tired of crappy people putting blame on them, or they get fed up with being constantly insulted. Like.... Just an idea, but maybe humans who are spiritual or religious, and who believe in the supernatural, should mind their business and not play with fire by denigrating supernatural entities of any kind. Especially because they do believe in it, so they are more open to it. It's ok to admit to oneself that something isn't for you (I do not work with demons, not because I think they're evil, but because I just don't resonate with them, so I just respect them deeply from a distance ). Incidentally I do worship and work with Loki, who was demonized a lot by Christian authors over the centuries. And it's my personal gnosis that he doesn't enjoy being vilified for no reason except that he is a pagan God. So why would demons be ok with being vilified because they represents the other side of the coin within the Christian belief system?
The way that your interview with the “jesus” that formed because of the prejudiced and bigoted beliefs of millions of people pried my eyes open and forced me to look into the lens of a perspective that I tried so hard for years to put off looking into, because I knew it was/is a perspective that my dad and the Catholics on his side of my family spent their entire lives perceiving, thinking, and living through… I always thought I got what my parents, my paternal aunts and uncles, and my paternal grandparents firmly believed in- even if I never 100% believed in a lot of those things myself, but after reading your interview with the egregore, I realized that I only ever brought myself to look at the tip of the iceberg of their beliefs and refused to dig deeper into it out of dread of what I might find and how that might change how I viewed the people that I had held dear in my heart since I was a little girl. Thank you, Sara. Thank you for opening my eyes and making me see the things that I knew were infiltrating the church, but often never wanted to even think about. Thank you for showing me the egregore, a being that I never want myself to turn to or confide in. Thank you for helping me start deconstructing what I was taught my whole life up until this point. All I can really say is thank you.
It's not just about protecting male egos, is it? Correct me if I'm wrong: 99% of people seem to be so unconsciously myopic or ideologically motivated that they just swerve from one ditch into the opposite ditch and cry, "Phew! at least we avoided THAT OTHER extreme," just before a realization of the new horror sets in. Or they cast out a demon, with extreme prejudice, only to see seven more demons come to take its place. We run from Ahriman into the maw of Lucifer, and back again. Balance is needed. The Right Hand Path is the way one ought to take, as a general rule, but, since the law was made for man (not man for it), we also have a Left Hand Path open to us, for the odd occasion, the eccentric, the dark night or the dark age (Kali Yuga), as everybody knows, upon The Middle Way: "I speak for the exception, so long as he does not wish to become the rule." (Nietzsche) So, can we agree there are real threats in the world, - not just the egregores and fantasies of xenophobes (or people we label as such, because their culture seems foreign and frightens us)? Can we agree that estrogen may not be all love and light, and testosterones, all cold and prickly? I mean, unless you just want to martyr your society. But, then again, mass martyrdom and societal collapse may be exactly what Jesus, like some who claim to speak for him, had in mind. Sometimes he sounds an awful lot like a siren's song, or the ploy of an ungrounded luciferian spirit, calling all those who are ripe for the sermon of resignation, to lay down their weapons, their genders, their lives, - and let the fat be trimmed; the weak be culled from civilization. Then, whoever can stand naked in the pure, fullness of being, in The Unmediated Presence, will withstand the call, and remain, to digest the lesson; as living pillars of civilization, unmolested by termites. After all, only atheists believe in God.

As a teenager I was friends with this girl that had a mother that spread rumors about me in our church that I was a witch because I learned about witchcraft. I didn't practice any but this didn't stop this woman from trying to destroy me. She tried to get my family kicked out and I left this church after I graduated from high school. The biggest thing was I was casting a spell on her husband to attract him to have sex with him. I don't contact these people anymore. I became Catholic.❤
You probably want to see the old latin catholic ritual. It requires bishops approval and only is performed after rigourous mental health concerns are ruled out. 6/10 are ruled out.
25:45 The Catholic & Anglican exorcism rites, at least, are rooted in long tradition, and performed by priests who know what they're doing. Also, the Catholic Church will not approve an exorcism, until all "normal" explanations for the symptoms, eg, mental illness, have been ruled out. But the Fundies come up with the most bizarre, and sometimes, lethal, methods, and apply them to any behavior they consider aberrant.
Exorcism isn't a sacrament per se but Confession is and one confession is worh 100 exorcisms. There's a cool podcast here on RU-vid called "The Exorcist Files". Type it and search for Father Carlos. You get to hear actual cases acted out with explanations from an actual exorcist that tells you "hey, this is what this is and this is what not to do or what to do if it happens to you". Episode one is about a women who couldnt have a baby. She wasn't religious but tried praying and when that didnt work she turned to the occult and that was enough for demonic stuff to happen. Highly recommend the show 👀
Modern Christians have made a huge mistake, which is teaching that other gods and spirits are just fake and creations of human beings. While yes, humans create idols, to say that it’s impossible to gain power from them is a fundamental misunderstanding of the Bible. We see lots of biblical occasions where polytheistic people have supernatural abilities and powers. The important part is that all their power pales in comparison to God’s power, because He’s over every possible entity (which is why the Bible describes idols as useless, because why would you need a god that’s confined to a little statue when you have the true God of the universe with you). Denying the existence of other powers is just inaccurate and i think we all know ignorance is not always bliss. Now to clarify, I don’t believe that we should worship other gods alongside the true God because He is perfectly sufficient for us alone (then again I’m Jewish so we have our own standards which are the same as the ancient Israelites as you described), but I do think it’s important to take into account what the Bible actually says about other divine beings. I mean, if we look at Exodus at the Song of The Sea, one of the most famous verses from it is “Who is like You oh Lord among the gods? (Or celestials, depending on the Bible. The point is it’s referring to other divine beings.) it’s not saying those divine beings don’t exist, but that God is higher than all of them combined, and that’s why we worship him and not the others.
Watch the Exorcist Files podcast by Father Carlos It's informative and helps clarify the issue. The church takes it very serious and is skeptical of people who make these claims because it can be mental issues...but demons don't play fair. Sometimes it's mental illness AND possession
when you said "guerilla prayer book" i had to actively remind myself of the existence of the word "guerilla" because my brain so badly wanted to interpret it as "gorilla prayer book" 😂😂 anyways great video!!
The Book of Tobit is the most underrated book in Bible and not in the KJV. I am a big fan of The Archangel Raphael. He was my patron saint at my confirmation. Funny thing is that Rhaido ( i don't know if i am saying that right) is my birth rune. Raphael and Rhaido are patrons of travelers. So this is why I personally that he walks with me on my path in the occult and magick.
Samuel kept all the laws of God, which is why he outkawed mediums. His sin was not comiting genocide. If Saul did that out of greef or humanity, ill never know. Out of desperation be brike God's law for the 1st time to consult a witch for advice, after not hearing from God on many occasions. I believe the relationship was strained from the beginning, because God never wanted Israel to have a king.
I do have an unrelated question. Does your Church know you consider yourself a Christian Witch? I found an Episcopal Church locally that seems very open minded, but I am still unsure how far that openness goes if that makes sense? Yesterday I decided to share links to my Spiritual platforms on my large Facebook page which has well over 300,000 followers. OMG all hell broke loose! I was attacked, people called for my exile from the Christian Community in general, people called for my execution, it was bad. I had to block a lot of people. I am a very open person and don't like to hide anything but I realize I have to use a lot of discretion when it comes to these topics in certain places.
I am so excited to try this! I am really into Hydroponic Gardening (Growing plants in Mineral Water) Last year we grow foot long cucumbers in our broom closet which we converted into an indoor garden. I just planted the next round as well as a full variety of herbs. Love these videos!
Ok but earlier this year I almost became an ex witch who was "saved" because my OCD told me it was the revelations and God wanted me to hurt myself and my mom to prove loyalty. Luckily I came to a few months ago thanks to meds and therapy. Please. Take. Your. Meds. 😐
Sara Raztresen, an intellectually dishonest coward that likes to live in an echo chamber and deletes any posts that disagree with her theology. As the saying goes the truth has nothing to fear from lies but lies will always seek to hide the truth.
@srazzie97 I've had a revelation delivered to me by the holy spirit. That shows me through scripture, how The divine feminine is actually part of the holy trinity. All of Christianity believes the holy Trinity to be 3 males where I believe it's a holy family.With the Most High YHWH coming into reality as a feminine entity and a masculine entity. One is a mother, sister daughter.The other is a father brother son. I Call it the holy family Trinity of the lion, the dove and the lamb.And I can prove it through scripture.
@geoffraymollichi8288 oh, I believe it! And in fact, early Christians saw the Holy Spirit as feminine--as Father, Son, Mother, not Father, Son, Spirit! The way you describe it is beautiful ❤️
@srazzie97 I have found over 300 verses in the Catholic.Bible that explains this female divine entity. When the apperation in mexico city of lady of Guadalupe showed up. The way she got all the native Peoples to convert to Catholicism is by showing them through her image that she was greater than any of their godds. That was the same century we lost. Millions to the reformation, yet gained 3 times as many in the Americas. Due to our blessed mother, showing her divine femininity trumping all their Gods.and pointing worship to her son. Through one image image with tons of hidden messages that only their culture would understand.
But seriously, thanks. I’m glad to find someone who voices the same thoughts I have. I always chAnge my mind but for now, I choose to believe in the Nicene Creed and everything else is negotiable.
Sara you look absolutely gorgeous in this video! And thank you for the super valuable information! I respect Lucifer a lot, and even tried to work with him but I suppose he just didn't vibe with me. So I respect and admire him from a distance! He is super cool and I am very glad that he is part of your spiritual journey! You are a curious, brave and open-minded practitioner! Love and respect from your Romanian fan! 😊
That's essentially what the Vicar of the Episcopal church, here, once said. It didn't matter who or what Jesus was, his teachings resonate within us as true. Thomas Jefferson, a Deist, felt the same way. I believe in Jesus and what he taught, but also believe the "God"of the Old Testament was a vicious, bloodthirsty, genocidal, monster.
That's an antisemitic line of thinking. The God of the Old Testament is the God of the New Testament and the God of Jesus. You're judging a God filling the role of ancient southwestern Semitic war /storm god for... being an ancient southwest Semitic war/storm god. The stories of the OT are a reflection of what the people needed and wanted Him to be for the sake of their protection and prosperity, as many other war gods were at the time. I'd suggest reading God: An Anatomy by Francesca Stavrakopolou for more contextual information on God.
Some Christians approach their faith from a pragmatic perspective, where the primary concern isn't necessarily whether Christianity is objectively true, but rather how well it works in their lives. For these believers, the focus is on the practical benefits that the faith brings-such as a sense of community, moral guidance, personal peace, and a framework for meaning-rather than on theological or doctrinal correctness. This pragmatic Christianity emphasizes the utility of the religion in fostering well-being, providing support in times of need, and offering a coherent narrative for navigating life's challenges. Whether the metaphysical claims of Christianity are true becomes secondary to the tangible, positive impact that the faith has on their everyday experiences. I'm am not one of these people.
As I'd like to say is I'm pretty much a believer in alot of things a skeptic whenever it comes to alot of things as well I'll be honest about that as well and exactly i try to do my best to not treat others how they would treat me and exactly it's not always about taking away people's desires necessarily as it is more so about self control and balance whenever it comes to somethings and same i love God and exactly i love zodiac and astrology stuff too because it something that i see as something to help me love others and understand them in a better way so if anything it honestly is one of those things that can help better my faith and spirituality in a better more loving way imo or from my personal experience
i mean christains should view and expose themselves to "the other side" just like athiest should ALSO expose them selves to "the other side" to watch and read just what you agree with, is called self-brainwashing.
The fear certain groups have to exposing themselves to other viewpoints is a serious problem. 🥲 how strong are your convictions if just hearing someone out is enough to ruin them??
Hey just letting you know I think someone hacked your TikTok and tried to use it to scam me. They messaged me from your account posing as you saying you had picked me from your followers for a reading and then once they got my cell number they started asking for a “donation” to a Venmo account with a name that wasn’t yours, so I blocked the number. Thought I’d let you know either way.
There are many fake accounts that steal my videos and look exactly like me in everything but the handle (usually an extra letter, period, etc. in the @ ). Unfortunately TIkTok does nothing about them so all you can do is block them :(
As someone who grew up as a pagan, and later converted to Christianity, there is no such thing as a Christian witch. Scientifically, there's more evidence proving the Bible to be true, than anything else. Are you high?
Lol there really isn't, sorry to say. It's a faith based on as much mythology as history like any other religion. If you need something to be scientifically proven to put your faith in it, though, then that defeats the purpose of faith in the first place. As for Christian Witchcraft, we already wrote a whole book about why it exists, so you can read that if you wanna learn more.
I agree with everything you said! My personal take on spirituality as a whole is.... It's a matter of the heart and soul. Spiritual belief, in my opinion, has nothing to do with concrete scientific proof. It's what rings true to one's heart. And even so, our perceptions of the same gods or spirits will unavoidably differ. Personally? I vibe with old testament God a lot. I like his warlike, burning hot type energy. Of course I also like that he is willing to send an aspect of himself (Jesus) to Earth, and experience a human life. But like... Yeah, we will vibe with different aspects of the gods. And that's beautiful. I think that the Bible itself is.... Divinity and revelations from the divinity, that have been interpreted by humans, with their own life experience, perspective, and even limitations and prejudices. Hence why even when I read the Bible, personally, I take what resonates, and simply allow what doesn't resonate to just exist. I leave it alone, it's not for me and I move on. And I feel like that's something that God would want for me specifically. Read the Book™ with a critical eye, interpret it, filter it through my own mind and life experience, and apply it to my day to day challenges and whatnot.
@@srazzie97You know what gets me? Other gods, in their fiery moments? Devotees love. But when the Christian God is showing his wrathful aspect it either gets ignored via new testament, or made into "humans deserved it for (insert prejudice here)" by the church. Personally I believe that gods should be taken for what they are: energy beyond the material human plane. Sometimes they manifest their anger, or even benevolence, in super wonky ways. To be fair 90% of the time it's not deserved to that magnitude. And other times it's not an overaction, it's simply poetic justice. 😂 Do I think that we, humans, can still tap into that fiery aspect and connect with it? 100% To be even more honest I tap into god's warlike energy through Michael (my patron saint and only saint I currently work with - as a Romanian polytheist and folk practitioner). I think it's awesome to admit to oneself God isn't just love and peace and flowers, because there are heinous people who don't deserve his benevolence, even if they dub themselves "good Christians". Within the Bible itself it's stated that he lost his marbles and made the great flood happen precisely because he witnessed rotten people harming others. So yeah... I vibe with old testament God a lot. He's basically manifesting in moments when heinous people, after insulting you gratuitously, stub their toes on a Lego, spill scorching hot coffee on their new shirt, or get humbled by a circumstance. 😂
@@downenout8705 Yooo, this comment changed the course of my life completely, shattered my entire belief system and demolished my self esteem. So much power in your words, internet person. Now excuse me while I go back to Christian cafeteria. They have an entire selection for God's aspects I can choose from. Buh-bye. 😊
I wonder if that's the AI part peeking in. It seems really interesting to play with the energy of something generated from computers. What would tech witches say I wonder?
You should definitely visit an Episcopal church. As an Anglocatholic, I really enjoy the catholicity of the Episcopal church. It’s inclusive for LGBTQIA & women. I pray rosary and my wife is an Anglican witch.
@@srazzie97 that’s awesome! The Lord be with you! It’s amazing how welcoming and open our church is. I’m former Ukrainian Orthodox and the Episcopal Church is much more open to exploring different mysticism.
I have a question! What kind of Catholic Church do you go to? I have heard you mention really good insight which you have learned from different priests, I've never been to a Catholic Church but it has been on my mind to go for quite some time. I didn't know how affirming they were? I too am in the LGBTQ community
I couldn't agree with you more. So many anti LGBT stuff out there in an attempt to control people and for the life of me, I can't imagine either why you would want to stay with someone who doesn't want to be with you! It's nothing more than an attempt to defeat a person's Self Determinism which will only backfire. My husband and I are common law married, in sin according to many so called Christians, however we are happier than many of those Christian Mariages because we are both here because we want to be and love each other. Side note for those who think we are in the Honey Moon phase? No we have lived together for 7 years and are more in love today.
I am truly not trying to suck up to you, I have to give you a compliment though. I thoroughly enjoy your presentence, the way you speak, take negative things in stride. It brings so much calm into my office playing it in the background (I am the owner I can get away with that lol) Thank you for following your passion and sharing it with us!
