False Ascension: From Occult Power to Orthodox Healing with Erika of Shire Skincare
About this episode
Erika of Shire Skincare shares her transformative journey from occult practices to Orthodox Christianity, discussing themes of true healing and spiritual discernment.
Before Erika found Orthodoxy, she had spent years in theistic satanism, occult practice, ritual magic, & demonic spirituality... until the New Testament, the Jesus Prayer, & the life of the Church revealed that the “power” she had been promised was bondage. In this episode of the Orthodox Health Podcast , Dr. Michael Christian & John speak with Erika of Shire Skincare about her journey from satanism & occult practice into Orthodox Christianity. Released between Ascension & Pentecost, this conversation explores true ascent in Christ versus false ascension, the Holy Spirit versus false spirits, & Orthodox healing versus the counterfeit healing offered by the occult & New Age spirituality. This is not merely a scary story. It is a testimony of repentance, discernment, spiritual warfare, embodied healing, motherhood, beauty, & coming home to the Church. Key Takeaways: The occult often does not present itself as darkness. False spiritual power is still bondage. New Age “healing” can become a gateway into false spirits. The occult inverts Orthodoxy. The New Testament provoked the turning point. Repentance is not self-torture. The body is not a prison…
