Question:
A few years ago, I had acquaintances of Santeria and the New Age religion. Since then, I have disassociated myself with these people as I want to surround myself with individuals who live righteously and believe solely in Our Lord and Savior.
I was a casual/platonic acquaintance with a young man of the Santeria religion. I ended my friendship with him because of his personality, but afterwards I developed a multitude of physical ailments, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Periodonitis, and more. I also have financial problems, as because of my health I cannot work.
Another acquaintance was a woman I use to work with who was Catholic but was involved with Reiki and other New Age practices. We had a disagreement one time, however resolved our differences, but shortly after I developed Acid Reflux.
Most recently, an acquaintance of a family member called me. This woman is into the Wiccan religion and although she can be very nice, she complains, uses profanity and is problematic.
She was discussing a problem and the following day I was extremely dizzy for several hours until it subsided. I spoke with my family member about this, and they stated that they have distanced themselves from her, as when they are around her, they feel fatigue and have gotten headaches.
Because I befriended people who were into "New Age" and other practices, could their negativity be causing me illness and if so, what can I do to remove it and how can I protect myself from people who have negativity within them?
If you can advise me about this, I would appreciate it, as I want to live peacefully and surround myself with others who truly love Our Lord and Savior.
Thank you, and God Bless. Crystal

Dear Crystal:
I praise God that you have disassociated yourself with these people. Whenever one associates with individuals from Santeria and similar occult groups it is always possible that when you disassociate yourself from them such individuals may seek revenge through casting spells and curses.
You need to be careful, however, about interpreting every ailment as being sourced by contact with these individuals. Most of what you describe falls solidly within the realm of coincidence.
With that said individuals from Santeria and Wicca are well-known to attempt to perpetrate curses and spells. As a precaution, it would be wise to never accept any gifts from these people or any food prepared by these people.
Because of the possibility of a curse or spell I would advise you to pray the prayer, Breaking Personal Curses and Spells, found in our Spiritual Warfare Catalog linked below. Other prayers in the Catalog will also be useful, such as the Hedge Prayer for Protection of Self.
As for the Wiccan family member in which several people report fatigue and headaches, it is possible that there is a demon that hangs around her. Wiccans worship the devil even if they do not know it. If one is not worshiping the true God, then there is only one other entity to worship. While the Wiccans may think they are worshiping nature, or a goddess, or no god at all, they are worshiping the devil nevertheless and appealing to both the philosophy and powers of the devil.
If someone comes to your house who has a demon attached to them it can cause the symptoms you and other family members are describing. It is wise to distance oneself from that Wiccan family member.
Live the best Christian life you know how to live, pray daily, read the Bible daily, attend church every Sunday, and pray the spiritual warfare prayers I have recommended and other prayers in our Catalog that may be useful to you.
There are no guarantees. Prayers are not magick. But God does listen to your prayers, He is with you and loves you and wants the best for you. He will answer your prayers according to what is best for you and according to His will.
If you are cursed it may take some time to fully break that curse. You must be patient and persevere in your faith, trusting in God and in his love for you.
We will be praying for you as well.
God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary
