Jac Marino Chen, a former occultist in the Golden Dawn, shares how she left

witchcraft and the New Age for Jesus — after a spiritual attack.

Raised in church but carrying deep wounds from childhood abuse and family

addiction, Jac chased identity in supernatural "alien" encounters and the New

Age — crystals, astrology, tarot, psychedelics — before joining the Hermetic

Order of the Golden Dawn and practicing ritual magic in a Freemason lodge.

Reading the Bible for herself began to unravel the deception, and one night

mid-ritual a spiritual attack drove her to her knees crying out, "Jesus Christ,

save me." She was delivered on the spot. This is the full story of how she got

in, what the occult actually involved, and how Jesus pulled her out.

In this episode:

• Childhood trauma and "alien" encounters that opened the door to the occult
• The New Age slide: crystals, astrology, tarot, and psychedelics
• Inside the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn — ritual magic in a Freemason lodge
• Why she now believes the "aliens" she pursued were demons
• The spiritual attack and instant deliverance that changed everything
• Leaving the occult: getting sober, getting baptized, a restored family
