Alexandria, a former white witch, shares how she went to hell, encountered satan, and was saved by Lord Jesus (vegetarian)

From early childhood, Alexandria had vivid, prophetic dreams. At three years old, she dreamt of the Aladdin movie villain Jafar, who told her a candy bar would appear on her dresser when she woke. It did—convincing her she had special powers. As a teen, Alexandria became fascinated by music, the 1960s counterculture, and the occult. At seventeen, a stranger called her “the White Witch of Love,” a title she embraced, believing she practiced light magic tied to love and caring, not dark forces.

In college, psychedelic drugs deepened her belief that she was her own god. She rejected Jesus despite her parents’ faith. At 18, Alexandria told her father outright: “I don’t believe Jesus is God, but if He is, He knows my heart seeks truth.”

After a friend’s suicide, Alexandria fell into depression, alcoholism, and isolation. While exploring spiritual movements, Alexandria encountered a man at a music festival who introduced her to “the Divine feminine.” She cried, struck by the idea of sacred womanhood. He offered books from his trailer. Inside, the air shifted darkly; he tried a shoulder massage, but his face turned evil. Alexandria fled.

That night while dancing, she saw him again— wearing a black Grim Reaper’s cloak. He whispered, “You may have gotten away, but I’ll always be with you.” Later, Alexandria learned he’d been telling other young women about the “Divine feminine.” Though he unsettled her, the idea lingered: A week later, she found a book about goddesses and Bible allegories claiming Adam’s first wife was Lilith, convincing her that the Bible was a lie.

Though she dismissed hell and demons, Alexandria’s life grew marked by anxiety, self-harm thoughts, and alcoholism. She built a library of occult and history books but felt constant failure. In her thirties, she lost friends, family, and eventually her beloved cat, Allister. Grieving and empty, she began hearing a hostile, foreign voice invading her thoughts, saying, “If God was real, you wouldn’t deserve this. Curse God, curse angels, curse all good in the world.” She fought it for four months— puzzled, since she didn’t believe in God.

In February 2023, she cried out while driving, “God, if you’re real, I need help. Something’s telling me to curse You, and I don’t want to.” The next day, Alexandria stepped into the shower. A presence filled the room and poured over her like warm oil, overflowing with love. Instantly she knew it was Lord Jesus. Raising her hands, she said, “Okay, Jesus, I know that You are God.” At that moment, Alexandria dropped to her knees—and her spirit fell downward.

She opened her eyes chained in fiery caverns, surrounded by orange light. She realized she was in hell, caught in a cycle of torment shaped perfectly to her fears and life choices. God spoke: “The only good left in the world is because of My presence, and this is a place without.”

Alexandria began to understand that God is our only protection, and that she was in the grip of darkness. She suddenly realized she’d lived her life in direct rebellion of God— in denial of her Creator— and she knew she belonged in hell. There was no trying to get out; there was no justification.

God spoke again: “You opened your heart and mind to the demonic through the occult— this is why you’ve suffered so much.” He added, “This was the master you had chosen.”

A shadow appeared in the cave above— horned and vast. Alexandria knew it was satan. As the shadow grew closer, she was gripped by an indescribable fear. But before the demon was revealed, Alexandria was suddenly lifted out and rose toward a brilliant white Light. It was Lord Jesus. Alexandria felt waves of love and forgiveness as He told her, “I was always with you. I never left.”

Back in the shower, Alexandria repeated over and over: “Jesus is coming.” She surrendered her life fully to Christ, repenting and leaving her past behind. At last, she experienced overwhelming joy, peace, and freedom from spiritual oppression.

Alexandria gathered every magic book, object, and item in her collection— including vintage and rare volumes— and burned them all in a bonfire. It took hours but brought relief, much like the Ephesians in Acts [Holy Bible], who burned their magic books after turning to Christ.

Now Alexandria warns: Hell is separation from God’s presence, not His punishment. People choose it by rejecting Him, forgetting that the prince of darkness still rules this world. God protects; without Him, suffering reigns. To anyone involved in magic or the occult, she says: Christ is the only way. Call on Him; He will reveal the Truth, for joy and peace are real in God alone (Randy Kay)
