Family Member Pagan Mocks Christianity

[Anna T M]

Hi, I'm concerned about a niece of mine who is practising pagan/angel numbers/crystal healing etc . She has had trauma in her life - abandonment issues - from a young age (she's now in her 40s) and seems to find guidance in life from these practices. It worries me that she sometimes posts pictures that seem satanic - horned heads, human body - and now she is mocking Jesus and Christians with social media memes such as a photo of Charles Manson with the comment that 'here's a picture of Jesus' or a goto of people dancing with the line 'Christians celebrating another Pagan holiday'

I do not know how to handle this. It's difficult to keep quiet and pray quietly for her as I want to confront this. She may think it's harmless but it's not. The other day she told me she keeps seeing angel numbers ( 111, 222, 333 etc) and replied that 666 is the number of the beast ( I know not everyone thinks this) and my niece reacted by dismissing this, saying 'someone made that up'. Yet she doesn't think the numbers meanings might be made up. Or maybe she does but sees it as guidance ( i didn't ask as I don't want the conflict -pathetic, I know).

I don't want to accept her 'dark arts' . Should I be brutally honest about how I see this? It hurts to see Jesus mocked but that won't mean a thing to a non-believer . Please, does anyone have any advice ?

Also, I'm someone she contacts often. Her mother ( my sister) died a couple of years ago. She has few family members nearby ( she lives in another country)

Can't say I know enough about the topic to get in-depth with a solution.

Having had a bit more experience with this recently, don't discount what grief can do. And if your niece is in contact with you regularly that sounds like it is a lot to do with missing her mother. This sounds like a dreadful cop-out, but don't underestimate what prayer can do here.

Additionally, sorry for the loss of your sister.
