I would pose this question. Is it safe to be around things that come from satan? I don’t mean to be offensive here at all. Just asking a very straight question. In scripture there is no reference whatsoever to a “good” witch or a “white” witch and the Bible is very very clear what God thinks of witchcraft. In ancient times the Israelites were given very direct commands about witches
“Exo 22:18 Wizards thou shalt not suffer to live”
"Deu 18:10 Neither let there be found among you … that consulteth soothsayers, or observeth dreams and omens, neither let there be any wizard,
Deu 18:11 Nor charmer, nor any one that consulteth pythonic spirits, or fortune tellers, or that seeketh the truth from the dead.
Deu 18:12 For the Lord abhorreth all these things, and for these abominations he will destroy them at thy coming. "
“1Sa 28:6 And he consulted the Lord, and he answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.
1Sa 28:7 And Saul said to his servants: Seek me a woman that hath a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire by her. And his servants said to him: There is a woman that hath a divining spirit at Endor.
1Sa 28:11 And the woman said to him: Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
1Sa 28:13 … I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
1Sa 28:14 And he said to her: What form is he of? And she said: An old man cometh up, and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul understood that it was Samuel, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground, and adored.
… God is departed from me, and would not hear me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayst shew me what I shall do.
1Sa 28:16 And Samuel said: Why askest thou me, seeing the Lord has departed from thee, and is gone over to thy rival?”
Note when God left Saul because of the hardness of his heart he turned to satanic agencies. Sadly he died the next day.
"Mic 5:12 (5:11) And I will take away sorceries out of thy hand, and there shall be no divinations in thee.
In this next verse we see Paul calling a sorcerer a child of the devil.
"Act 13:8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is interpreted) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
Act 13:9 Then Saul, otherwise Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, looking upon him,
Act 13:10 Said: O full of all guile and of all deceit, child of the devil, enemy of all justice, thou ceases not to pervert the right ways of the Lord. "
“Rev 21:8 But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, they shall have their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
"Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life and may enter in by the gates into the city.
Rev 22:15 Without are dogs and sorcerers and unchaste and murderers and servers of idols and every one that loveth and maketh a lie. "
As we can see scripture is very clear what an abomination sorcery is to God. God is a God of love thankfully. However when we directly and willfully align ourselves on the side of satan God cannot overlook our rebellion. That is why any form of witchcraft is such an abomination from God. As we have seen in these verses witches and sorcerers ect. are choosing to follow satan.
I am in no way trying to belittle or attack your friend here. Maybe she doesn’t know this is in scripture. Maybe you could share it with her? The deceptions of the end time will become more rampant.
"2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error,
2Ti 3:14 But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned and which have been committed to thee. Knowing of whom thou hast learned them:
2Ti 3:15 And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures which can instruct thee to salvation by the faith which is in Christ Jesus. "
We must stick to the Holy Scriptures which instruct us in salvation! and remember…
“1Pe 5:8 Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.
1Pe 5:9 Whom resist ye, strong in faith…”
“2Co 11:14 And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light.”
I submit that this is what happens with “white” witchcraft
All one can do is present things to people and pray that the Holy Spirit works on their hearts. If they reject the Light then we must shake the dust off of our sandals. I would suggest presenting some of these verse to your friend in a very loving caring manner. If she rejects them I would get away as fast as I could. Otherwise you may be drawn into it by association with it. I will be praying for you and I sincerely hope that everthing works out well and the Holy Spirit leads you into all truth! God bless!
It’s just another religion, and you’ve already got friends in other non-Catholic faiths, so why make a fuss over this one?
