“There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord.” (Deuteronomy 18:10-12)
We’ve all heard about the tragic Oakland, CA warehouse fire that killed in excess of 30 people. The fire itself started during a musical concert on Friday, December 2, 2016. The warehouse was called The Ghost Ship. It served as an artist colony, a night spot and an un-official home to many in the Oakland artistic community. But there was a darkness attached to it that only pictures can express. It seems many at this ad hoc artist refuge honored the Hindu god Shiva, the same god of destruction that is found outside of CERN, where occult activity mixes easily with science as its principals pursue the opening of other dimensions. [But I digress.]
Now along with Brahma and Vishnu, Shiva is a part of the Hindu Triad or Great Trinity. Shiva then is the destroyer god and the transformer god. The first function leading to the next – the transformation or renewal. The BBC tells us: “Hindus believe his powers of destruction and recreation are used even now to destroy the illusions and imperfections of this world, paving the way for beneficial change. According to Hindu belief, this destruction is not arbitrary, but constructive. Shiva is therefore seen as the source of both good and evil and is regarded as the one who combines many contradictory elements.”[i]
Along with the Hindu elements, the Ghost Ship proudly displayed elements of many other dark, occult religions from around the world. We find the totems of spiritualists and shamanism, Buddhism among other dark arts. The photos here were proudly displayed on their own website. One can only pray for the survivors and others in that community drawn down this dark path of death.
“Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.” (Leviticus 19:31)
