Unexpected Turn Of Events Leads Witch To Catholic Faith

For 15 years, Mexican Luisa Lomeli taught Feng Shui: a New Age variant of Chinese occultism which is supposed to harmonize unseen currents of energy. Unlike the practice of Reiki, another occult movement, it seeks to harmonize places in space rather than human bodies. After years of her success in witchcraft and Feng Shui, a psychological crisis led her to an unexpected source of help to bring her back to the Faith.

Lomeli was born into a Catholic family, was baptized, received communion, and attended a Catholic school. However, as she explained in one of her videos, her family did not practice their faith at home. As an adult, her interest in the occult and New Age practices grew. “I started with neurolinguistic programming, reiki, healing, and became a Feng shui consultant, healing the earth and houses... I was totally into the occult,” she told an interviewer. 
 

In fact, she was one of the pioneers in introducing Feng Shui to Mexico and became a successful teacher of it. She became recognized as “an excellent witch.” While believing she was actually helping the people who came to her, she later found that the opposite was true. “You don't realize that you are getting people into terrible things: you are consecrating the house and the people to Satan,” she warned.
 

Lomeli and the witches who followed her enjoyed apparent success for many years, but the more influence she had, she felt she had “failed.” "I earned a lot of money that I was never able to enjoy, because Satan takes everything away from you and makes you live in misery. Sometimes I didn't even have enough to eat; everything went toward traveling around the world and perfecting my technique. He gave me fame and money, and [the devil] made sure I paid for it all," she recalled.
 

‘Out of control’ serving the devil 
 

Increasingly “contaminated” by what she believed to be negative energy, Lomeli ended up participating in a course to achieve clairvoyance, where through certain rituals she would supposedly “obtain powers, see beyond reality, and access hidden knowledge.”
 

During one of the sessions, she fell victim to what is known as “kundalini syndrome:” a condition that can be accompanied by psychotic episodes, the sensation of entering and leaving dimensions without control, hearing voices, or having extrasensory experiences. She also felt constant tingling sensations.
 

That would be nothing compared to what would begin to happen to her some time later. “I was a witch [...] I was completely contaminated. When I hit rock bottom, I stopped working, I suffered terrible things, and at 3:00 in the morning, I felt like something was trapping me. I went to see thousands of witches and shamans, but I couldn't find anyone who could heal me,” she recounted.
 

A witch led her to faith

Devastated, Luisa sought advice from another witch, who recommended a “recipe” for healing: she had to go to church and ask to have “the Gospels in Latin placed on her.” Even though she had abandoned the Faith entirely many years before, when she entered the church she felt “peace and warmth.”
 

“It was shocking, I couldn't stop crying and I was very happy. I saw that the Eucharist was a miracle and when Mass ended I was afraid to leave the Church. God is really here,” she said. That day, she stayed in the church for hours. Later, she began attending Mass frequently, and later learned to pray the rosary, but continued with her New Age practices, classes, and materials. “A few days later, I felt tingling again, and when I said I belonged to the Church, the demons began to attack. Horrible things happened to me,” she explained.
 

Almost impossible flight from the New Age
 

Only then did she realize that she had opened doors she never could have imagined. “When I confessed, the priest sent me a rosary that I had no idea how to pray. [Since then] I prayed seven rosaries a day, spent all morning in church, and spent years with many exorcists, but little by little I began to place my heart in the Church,” she said. During her conversion, “terrible things” began to happen to her, which she later understood to be a way for the devil to make her think she should not continue on that path.
 

Today, she continually warns people on her YouTube channel not to “get involved in that, there's no way out.” She also addresses those who, like her, are considering abandoning occult practices and advises them to “get everything related to New Age out of your house. A year later, I threw everything away,” she said. After “an extremely painful process” of detaching herself from a life devoted to the occult and witchcraft, Lomeli said she gives thanks for “the reward from a God who does not let himself be outdone in blessings,” including the conversion of her family, the end of her spiritual attacks, and even the job she got after giving up her work as a witch and Feng shui instructor. Currently, she is dedicated to accompanying and advising families from a faith-based perspective.
