GENERATION HEX Continues to Touch Lives

Recent readers have shared their thoughts on Generation Hex. Here are a few of their comments:
“In serious desperation, I picked up a copy of your book this past weekend. I was happy to get it, as it was the only copy of its kind on the shelf. Words cannot express how much it has helped me, and I want to sincerely thank you both… I want to commend you for talking about this subject and encourage you to do more. I’d love to see another book about people who have come out of the craft… Bless you for having the love and courage to write the book Generation Hex.”
-former witchcraft practitioner, California

"I want you both to know that I loved the book. It was great to get the sense of compassion in your hearts for ALL of God's children!"
-Cheryl
Generation Hex also continues to receive significant news coverage. Recent mentions include The Dallas Morning News religion blog, The Christian Post, Prime Time America (Moody), Not Just Talking the Talk (mainstream radio), Bible.org, and more to come as Halloween approaches.

Currently approximately 60 media outlets (not including bloggers) have interviewed Marla and I about Generation Hex. It has been an overwhelming response to a topic many publishers have been hesitant to touch.

I'm extremely thankful for the team at Harvest House supporting this project from the start and helping us provide awareness of Wicca's growth and encouragement in showing Christ's love to Wiccans in the lives of many.

As you walk through the candy-filled aisles at your local stores this October, please remember that the Halloween Season is not about candy and costumes; it is an opportunity to point people toward the light of Jesus on a dark night.

Amen Brother!
I've been trying to get that across to the church for years. :)

Merry Meet!

I am a proud Wiccan and ordained minister of the Universal Life Church.

Wicca is one of many beautiful religions. There is nothing evil about it, nor should anyone fear of its practices. For the former wiccans that left to become christian, all that means that Wicca wasn’t the right path for them. We all should choose the path that well tils us.

Wicca is an modern revival of the ancient pagan belief of Europe. These pagan beliefs consist of Celtic, Nordic, Roman traditions. The Christian holidays (christmas and easter) also derived from these pagan traditions.

Wiccans don’t worship, nor do we believe in the devil, the devil is an Judeo-Christian concept of fear.

As far as the title Generation “Hex”, Wiccan do NOT put hexes on people. We have a law called the Wiccan Rede which states “An it Harm NONE, do as ye wilt”, which means you can do what you want as long as it harms no one including yourself. We use spells as a form of prayer.

If someone wants to know about Wicca, ask a wiccan.
The authors of this book say that they interviewed current and former wiccan before they wrote this book. But i am pretty sure they used their own biased opinion and left out important positive information of Wicca when writing their book.

May i add that all faiths follow the ONE God. Each faith see the divine differently. All Gods are one God.

Unfortunately for the Authors of this book, Wicca isn’t going away. They can use all the scare tactics they want. We will continue to grow. In the U.S, Wiccans recieve the same religious freedoms as Christians and other faiths. The US Dept. of V.A granted a widow her right to put a gravestone ingraved with a wiccan pentacle on her wiccan husband’s (who died in iraq) site.There are Wiccan churches,wiccan clegypeople lead worship in the military, and prisons. We help out in our local communities. We are people just like you.

My church the universal life church motto is “we are one “, simply means we must co-exist.

Blessed Be!

Reverend Michael
