What does the Bible say about witchcraft and familiar spirits?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible condemns witchcraft and the practices of familiar spirits, as seen in Deuteronomy 18:9-12.

The Scriptures clearly state that engaging with familiar spirits or witchcraft is an abomination to the Lord. In Deuteronomy 18:9-12, God commands His people not to adopt the abominations of the surrounding nations, which include divination and consulting with medium or necromancers. This is affirmed in 1 Samuel 28, where King Saul turns to a witch after God stops answering him, demonstrating the consequences of rejecting God's guidance. Instead of seeking God's counsel, Saul seeks a forbidden and condemned source, leading him to further despair. This reflects a significant warning against compromising one's faith and seeking the supernatural apart from God.
