An ex-psychic who was once overtaken by the occult is speaking out about culture's obsession with crystals, herbs, and other items tied to witchcraft. Jenn Nizza, a Christian who now shares her testimony on social media and through her new podcast, "Ex-Psychic Saved," warned against young people's increased use of such tools. "This is so New Age ... using crystals for protection, to ward off evil, for enlightenment, to bring about psychic awareness, to place on Chakras, thinking you're going to open them up and use the energy from the crystals," she told CBN's Faithwire. "This whole thing is relying on energy with crystals." Nizza reflected back on her own use of crystals as a psychic, noting she had a heart-shaped rose quartz pendant to try and draw love toward herself. She said people use crystals for other reasons as well, including for protection against illness. "It's really so scary," she said, noting the use of such tools is growing. Nizza is correct about the pervasiveness of the issue, as the Springtide Research Institute told CBN’s Faithwire it found 44% of young people between the ages of 13 and 25 “engage with herbs/crystals as a spiritual practice.” Shockingly, 21% do so on a weekly basis. These numbers have the ex-medium concerned. "I'm heartbroken by that ... because it just shows how deceptive the devil is ... and how he's not even hiding," she said. "These kids are so exposed to witchcraft these days and they're really looking for something — they're really looking to feel better, they're really looking for identity, they're looking for love. They're looking for all the things that only God can do." Watch Nizza's alarming warning.
