Runes, Rituals & the Devil’s Playground: The Hidden Dangers of 'Innocent' Games
04/19/25 • 36 min
What do ancient Viking symbols, a popular childhood video game, and modern witchcraft have in common? More than you think. In this eye-opening episode of Ex Psychic Saved, Jenn Nizza sits down with Ashleigh to uncover the truth about runes—what they are, how they're used in the occult, and why they’re far from harmless alphabet tiles.
Ashleigh shares her journey from discovering runes through the online game RuneScape as a fourth grader to eventually using them in ritual magic and divination. What started as “just a game” quickly spiraled into real-life spiritual darkness. Together, Jenn and Ashleigh expose how runes—steeped in Norse mythology and demonic deception—are being repackaged on social media and in games to lure the unsuspecting into dangerous practices.
They also address a common argument from skeptics: Aren’t runes just like casting lots in the Bible? The answer, rooted in Scripture and the presence of the Holy Spirit, might surprise you. This episode draws a sharp line between God’s instruction and the enemy’s imitation—shedding light on the spiritual cost of stepping outside of God's will.
From blood rituals and binding spells to the viral rise of occult content on TikTok, Jenn and Ashleigh reveal the trajectory of these practices and why the consequences aren’t just psychological—they’re eternal. They also offer a bold warning for parents: Pay attention to what your children are watching, playing, and absorbing.
You won’t want to miss this powerful, unfiltered conversation about spiritual warfare, deception, and the saving power of Christ. Be sure to like, subscribe, and share—because someone’s soul could depend on it.
