All of the world is agog over “The Mayfair Witches.” It is a HEAVILY-PROMOTED television production which covers the three HEAVILY-PROMOTED books by Anne Rice which make up the tale of the family of witches known as the Mayfair Witches.
The TV story is about the family of witches and their wayward servant, a familiar spirit named Lasher attached to the family for CENTURIES.
As with the books, the TV show presents the familiar spirit as a GIFT to the previously-powerless witches–instead of the ‘abomination’ which God’s Word labels such spirits.
“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD”
–Deuteronomy 18:10-12
“Abomination” ORIGINALLY had to do with the sense of smell: it was an evil so wicked that the behavior gave off an unpleasant smell to God.
So, according to God’s Word, consulting with a familiar spirit (a type of spirit which attaches itself to a person or family) is an ABOMINATION.
BUT, according to the world, a familiar spirit is a source of POWER and/or PLEASURE to the person consulting it.
Because those who consult with familiar spirits are reluctant to share any information about the PROBLEMS associated with such entities, that information may be UNFAMILIAR to many readers.
IF one reads the Mayfair witches stories, MANY of the Mayfair women suffer tragedies, which they do NOT blame on their familiar spirit. The family even makes up tales to explain away misfortunes and emphasize the trinkets and sexual favors which are provided by Lasher.
Lasher manipulates the women of the family for CENTURIES for his own evil purposes, but the women of the family provide cover for the wily spirit because they enjoy the trinkets and sexual dalliances provided by their familiar.
When something untoward happens to a woman of the family due to Lasher’s wrongdoing, the women claim that Lasher is unfamiliar with the ways of man and does his wrongdoing by mistake, due to a ‘childlike innocence.’
The careful reader will KNOW this is NOT true.
BUT, that’s the storyline of the “Mayfair Witches” which presents a familiar spirit as a blessing instead of a CURSE.
It is a deception carried on by evil spirits which enslave various unsuspecting folk.
It continues today through the end times and the Mayfair Witches are merely a re-telling of a sad, sad story.
The WORLD presents the familiar Spirit as a blessing. God’s Word presents the familiar Spirit as it is: a CURSE.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
