Summary
My journey was marked by a lifelong exposure to New Age philosophies and occult practicesβeven though I never grew up in a true Christian home. Raised within the cultural bounds of Eastern Orthodoxy, my early years were filled with confusing and even traumatic experiences; for example, I was once forced to perform a ritual act that made me feel deeply unclean. As I grew older, my rebellion manifested in experimenting with psychedelics and embracing diverse New Age modalities such as the Law of Attraction, numerology, energy healing, and eventually the intriguing world of human design. I immersed myself deeplyβundertaking shadow work to integrate childhood trauma and even exploring practices that promised cosmic guidance. However, a series of life-altering eventsβincluding a near-death health crisisβforced me to confront that the answers I had been chasing were false. In the midst of overwhelming despair, I prayed fervently for the truth. One moment, a powerful voice declared βI am the truth,β and in that instant, I recognized that only Jesus could bring the deliverance and restoration my heart so desperately sought. I repented and embraced a new birthβa complete transformation that left behind all the deceptions of the occult and New Age. Today, my testimony stands as evidence of the dangers inherent in false spiritual systems and as a celebration of the hope, healing, and new life available only through Jesus Christ.
