The biggest lie and deception continually propagated by Western Christianity has been the demonisation of Blackness and the labelling of anything African or Indigenous as witchcraft or the occult, all while actively participating in the real witchcraft: white supremacy. This practice fuelled imperialism, capitalism, colonialism, racism, and 400 years of slavery. It erased languages, names, cultures and displaced families. It pillaged lands and stripped them of their natural resources, leaving nations in poverty. It sold, bought, raped, and killed Black bodies. It hosted lynching parties right after singing hymns in white chapels on Sunday mornings. It underpinned Manifest Destiny, genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, the KKK, and Jim Crow. And here’s the deep distorted depravity: it was all justified with scripture and done in the name of God. That is demonic. That is the occult. That is true witchcraft.
