(OPINION) A former psychic who repented of occult practices after turning to Jesus Christ warned that Fox News potentially opened their viewers to demonic activity by airing an act of divination during primetime last week.
“The deception of putting something that seems good out there while pushing a demonic agenda is heartbreaking,” Jenn Nizza told The Christian Post.
Nizza, an author and podcaster who runs Ex-PsychicSaved.com and has written about how dabbling with tarot cards as a young teenager ultimately led her deeply into occultism, said she found it “completely alarming” when Fox News host Jesse Watters invited a medium on his show last week to discern the country’s political future using tarot cards.
Watters, whose show “Jesse Watters Primetime” occupies Tucker Carlson’s former time slot, hosted the so-called “English Psychic” Paula Roberts, who pulled a tarot card for Trump known as the Five of Cups, which depicts a cloaked figure lamenting three cups that have been overturned while ignoring the two that remain upturned. The card symbolizes focusing on negativity, and Roberts claimed that it predicted a “sense of loss” for Trump in 2024.
Roberts, who identifies as a clairvoyant, paranormal investigator, and “ghost-hunter,” according to her website, claims to have ties to the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain, which was founded in 1872 and included high-profile members such as “Sherlock Holmes” author Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle.
Roberts also claims to have known prominent occult figures such as Ingo Swann, who was involved with the CIA’s research into occult practices such as remote viewing, extrasensory perception, and astral projection.
Nizza made a TikTok video last week explaining that she had “a little bit of a bone to pick” with Fox News for airing the segment with Roberts, who she believes is a legitimate psychic who engages in communication with demons, even if she is unaware of it.
“[Roberts] a real psychic who’s been doing this for a long time and who is serious about what she does,” Nizza told CP. “A lot of people will say these people are hucksters. That’s just not true. There are hucksters, but this woman is not a huckster. This woman is truly a psychic.”
Based on her own experience as a former medium, Nizza explained that the cardboard and pictures of the tarot do not offer any insight by themselves, but that the purported information psychics obtain from them is “channeled” and inherently demonic.
“A tool of divination is one that’s actually accessing the demonic realm, the spirit realm, and you’re going against God’s will of boundaries; God says not to,” she said, citing Deuteronomy 18:10-12, which prohibits witchcraft and divination as “detestable” acts that incur God’s judgment on nations.
In broadcasting such a practice during primetime, she said Fox News risked piquing the curiosity of their viewers to dabble in such things, effectively “encouraging people to enter into demonic communication: going against God, going to divination, psychics, and the tarot cards to try to gain some sort of future information, when demons don’t have any future information.”
