The human condition writ large.2 Timothy 3:2
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Isaiah 3:11
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

witchcraft....
People choosing to follow the 'harmless' influence of demons.
witchcraft.... It is choosing to be 'guided' by [and seeking
to be 'subject to'] our own human nature [our 'human condition', our human carnal
inclinations and
appetites].
It is choosing to be 'guided' by our 'lower' emotional desires, rather than being guided by [and encouraging]
the spirit of God, within us, and 'our better conscience'.
It is being under the influence of evil thoughts and inclinations.
Demons.
Matthew 12:43
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

God has made each one of us, the gatekeeper, the custodian, of our own soul.
Deuteronomy 8:2
And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee,
to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.Yadda said....

We ourselves, are the 'gatekeepers' of our hearts.
We choose which spirits we allow [invite] into our hearts.
And nobody [and no spirit] can compel us, to join with those spirits.
And no spirit can compel us to do what is evil.
No body compels us, to choose the evil.
When we choose the evil, it is because we ourselves choose it.
Every day,
we make choices, in this life.
Have a care, for the potential consequences, of those choices which you choose to embrace.
