From Witchcraft to Jesus: Karla Callan’s New Age Testimony
After eighteen years involved in witchcraft and four years exploring New Age practices, Karla Callan reached a breaking point. She had pursued one level of spiritual growth after another, hoping to find fulfillment, but instead found herself overwhelmed by despair and fear. When she reached rock bottom, she made a decision to leave that life behind and call on God.
Today, Karla is a Christian author, podcast host, and ministry founder who helps others grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Her testimony offers a personal perspective on leaving New Age spirituality behind, finding freedom through faith, and recognizing the influence of New Age practices in Christian communities.
Karla Callan’s Journey from Witchcraft to Christianity
Karla's journey involved years of searching for spiritual answers. After eighteen years of involvement in witchcraft and four years in New Age practices, she came to a point where continuing down that path was no longer an option.
She had pursued what seemed like the next level of spiritual development, but those experiences did not bring the lasting satisfaction she was looking for. Eventually, she reached a breaking point and resolved to walk away from the New Age world.
Her story raises important questions for Christians about spiritual discernment, the beliefs behind popular spiritual practices, and the importance of grounding faith in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Finding Freedom from New Age Practices Through Jesus
Karla describes two moments of deep hopelessness in her life. The first came when she reached rock bottom after becoming deeply involved in New Age practices. The second came when she awoke experiencing what she describes as severe spiritual warfare.
Reflecting on that frightening experience, Karla shared:
“I experienced utter despair and felt completely separated from God; it was one of the scariest moments of my life. Even then, I knew all I had to do was call on Jesus.”
Despite her fear and despair, Karla turned to Jesus. Her testimony centers on the conviction that she could call on Him even in the darkest moments of her life.
Her experience is a reminder that people who feel lost, afraid, or trapped in destructive patterns can seek God and turn toward a deeper relationship with Christ. For Karla, leaving her former spiritual practices behind became part of a larger journey of faith, prayer, and discipleship.
