Christian Site: Yoga Is Really “White Witchcraft”

Charisma News, the site best known here for its anti-witchcraft tutorials, its claim that the lifespan of gays is shortened by 20 years, its warning that burning breakfast eggs can summon demons, and its examination of the threat of demons in swimming pools, has some thoughts about yoga.

When people think of witchcraft, few think of the New Age. Yet former Kundalini yoga instructor Mike Shreve says that’s exactly what the New Age and yoga are. “My guru taught us that yoga was really white witchcraft,” Shreve says. Shreve soon discovered that yoga opened him up to the demonic. And when Shreve surrendered his life to Jesus, the devil was not happy. Shreve recalls one night when the enemy attacked him in his room.

“I looked up and saw this gray ball,” he says. “And it came through the wall. It was throbbing like the pulsation of a human heart. Then, all of a sudden—I knew intuitively it was a demon spirit—it rushed across the room, slammed into my forehead and started trying to suck my soul out of my body. And immediately, I realized this was the demon I had yielded to when I did meditation.”
