Wizards, as part of the broader spectrum of occult practices, are deeply entwined with the deceptive influences of satan's New Age movement. In the biblical context, the term "wizard" is often translated as "spiritist" in modern versions, indicating a specific type of occult practitioner who likely calls up familiar evil spirits. This practice is explicitly condemned by God as an abomination, as seen in Deuteronomy 18:9-14, where it is listed among detestable acts such as witchcraft and sorcery that the Israelites were forbidden to engage in or become accustomed to. The Hebrew root of the word for spiritist relates to "knowing," connecting it to the occultic pursuit of secret knowledge, akin to the Gnostic beliefs of ancient times. The pervasive influence of such practices, including those of wizards, is evident in their rapid growth and the cultural conditioning that makes society comfortable with these abominations. If familiarity with wizards and similar occult figures is present, it signifies an already active process of deception by satan's repackaged Babylonian beliefs. The Bible warns of the consequences of such involvement, with Isaiah 47:9-13 highlighting the curse that befalls those whose wisdom and knowledge warp them through sorcery and enchantments. God's judgment is clear: those engaging in these practices, including wizards, face severe repercussions unless they turn away from these detestable ways.

Halloween, known as a witches' sabbat, is steeped in practices that defile God's holy Sabbath. Among these practices, the role of wizards and related figures is significant, as they engage in sorcery and enchantment, often using drugs or potions derived from the term pharmakeia to induce spiritual states or visions. These substances, not used medicinally but for magical purposes, help practitioners connect with the spirit world, a central theme of Halloween's occult celebrations. God explicitly condemns such acts in Scripture, ranking sorcery alongside grave sins like idolatry and sexual immorality, as seen in Galatians 5:19-20, where sorcery follows adultery and idolatry in the list of fleshly works. This connection underscores the seriousness of these practices, which lead to separation from God and destruction, preventing inheritance of His Kingdom. Furthermore, in Exodus 22:18, the command is clear that a sorceress or witch shall not be permitted to live, placing wizardry among the highest offenses that destroy both physical and spiritual relationships with God. These practices, integral to Halloween's spiritism, are abominations that defile purity and are equated with spiritual prostitution, driving a wedge between humanity and God.

In the context of forbidden practices among the nations, wizards are explicitly condemned as an abomination to the LORD. As described in Deuteronomy 18:9-14, a wizard is one who claims wisdom from a source other than human, directly dealing with a demon. Such practices are among the reasons the LORD drives out the nations before His people, as they represent forms of idolatry where the true God is not sought. Unlike true prophets who remain grounded in the law of God as their proof and absolute, wizards operate without reality or absolutes, leaving those who seek guidance through them at the mercy of lying demons and imaginative individuals.
