Summary

In this deeply moving Blurry Creatures episode, we sit down with Angela Scafidi, a former astrologer, tarot reader, Reiki practitioner, yoga teacher, and New Age influencer who now shares her story through a Biblical lens. Angela takes us on her journey—from dabbling in occult practices and spiritualism in hopes of comfort and identity, to a moment of raw surrender on her kitchen floor when she cried out, “Jesus, save me,” and experienced a supernatural breakthrough that changed everything She recounts how what felt like spiritual growth—astrology, crystals, spirit guides, tarot, and meditation—was deception, pointing to what she now understands as counterfeit spirituality tethered to familiar and demonic spirits. In candid, thought‑provoking conversation, Angela dives into the “spirit of religion”—the spirit of legalism and dogma that can grip churches and undermine genuine intimacy with God—and contrasts it with the true freedom found in Jesus Christ. She explains how different spiritual entities are portrayed in Scripture, from the Holy Spirit to religious spirits, familiar spirits, and demonic deceptions that masquerade as divine guidance. Through her testimony, Angela offers compassion and clarity for anyone wrestling with New Age beliefs or lingering spiritual confusion. She calls listeners into a life grounded not in shifting beliefs or subjective truths, but in the objective, liberating truth of Christ. Learn more about your ad choices.
