Unlike Disney’s 1937 cartoon fantasy, today’s bewitching Snow White movie features real-life characters who popularize the occult through shocking thrills and unforgettable suggestions.
The setting for this movie is medieval Europe with its pagan beliefs and Renaissance magic. It also resembles the dark practices of ancient Canaan, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Greece and early Rome. They all worshipped their regional “gods” and idols who “sold” their favors through heartless sorcerers.
Through the ages, biblical faith has been the greatest obstacle to the occult. But today, as God’s Word and values fade from America’s consciousness, the darkness is spreading fast. Mystical games and movies feed the growing appetite for magical thrills. And this timeless warning is almost forgotten:
“There shall not be found among you anyone who… practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord…” Deuteronomy 18:10-12
This movie is advertised for the age-16-and-up crowd, but I saw parents bringing young children. After all, Snow White is just a fairy tale, isn’t it?
As the movie ended, I walked out behind a family of five. The children looked a bit stunned. With the father’s permission, I asked his two older boys, ages 8 and 12, what they thought of the movie. They both shrugged and said “it was okay.” Were they aware of the raging battle between good and evil?

She is wrong about God. But she’s right about our changing culture. Click here to continue reading.
