Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:


Wicca is America’s fastest growing religion. By the year 2012, it’s projected to be the third largest religion in the United States.



In Generation Hex, Marla Alupoaicei and Dillon Burroughs explore the history, culture, and practices of Wicca. As part of their research, they interviewed travelers to historic Salem, Massachusetts, consulted practitioners of leading neopagan conferences in the Pacific Northwest and Canada, and dialogued with several current and former adherents of Wicca and other forms of witchcraft to evaluate the past and present of this growing spiritual tradition.



The result is a compelling account that will inform and equip Christians (especially parents) to understand Wiccan and New Age teachings. Readers will have confidence to explain this belief system to others and to communicate the gospel to those caught up in this practice.



Generation Hex identifies with the spiritual hunger of a generation seeking truth, authenticity, and hope in a fragmented world. It’s perfect for personal study or as a gift for anyone interested or involved in Wicca.

User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Well then
I really feel, if you must judge or "be made aware" of a religion, it is best to go to the best source :Actual followers of the religion. Go to a local Pagan Pride event, or go to an occult shop. I know, that sounds scary. I mean, those Wiccan kids might make you dance,sing, or plant flowers.
But seriously, as a Pagan, I really feel that somebody should not write a book condemning another religion, without consulting actual believers.
I really only see this book as another form of Christian propaganda trash. Not to be harsh, but intolerance has been keeping our planet at war for so long. Suck it up, not everyone wants to believe the same way. If we did, the world would be quite boring



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - How much research was REALLY done?
I guess I'm still shaking my head over the authors' attack on Kristin Madden (Pagan Parenting and Pagan Homeschooling, both available here on Amazon). I really had to wonder if they read anything of these books or about the author of them beyond the cover blurbs.

Wicca, not to mention paganism, is such a big subject with so many viewpoints within it that I don't understand how Generation Hex can be considered well-researched when such a narrow view is presented. Other reviewers are correct--it misses the mark. And they probably don't even know how badly it's missed.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Especially recommended for anyone having to deal with New Age influences
The Occult, normally regarded as nonsense, but some become devoted to it in spite of popular opinion. Co-authored by Dillon Burroughs and Marla Alupoaicei, "Generation Hex: Understanding the Subtle Dangers of Wicca" is a devout Christian's parenting guidebook to facing the growing cultural acceptance of Wicca and metaphysical new age witchcraft. Outlining just what Wicca is, and what a true Christian should do when confronted with them, "Generation Hex" offers parents practical and applicable information on dealing with this current cultural trend. Informed and informative, "Generation Hex" is especially recommended for anyone having to deal with New Age influences with respect to friends or family members.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Warning or Hate?
Prejudice to the hilt! Me thinks I will write a book warning Pagan parents the dangers of Christianity and the bible.

I fear a Good Pagan child being exposed to all that murder, rape, incest and baby killing that goes on in the bible.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Balanced and accurate
Evangelical Christians often encounter bizarre and inaccurate depictions of witchcraft, Wicca and other neopagan faiths. Whether through depictions of Satan worship, sacrifices or other heinous practices, many of these accounts are simply not true, and are misapplied to the faith groups being charged with such activities. Thankfully Dillon Burroughs (an accomplished apologetics author) and Marla Alupoaicei have teamed up to co-author Generation Hex, a new work explaining the Wiccan religion to Christians.

Generation Hex is an excellent primer for any follower of Christ who seeks to learn more about this growing religion. As many followers of the Wiccan faith are teenagers and young people, youth pastors and parents should certainly brush up on their knowledge of this religion. Wicca is often seen as a frightening unknown within the body of Christ, and I pray that this title will both educate and encourage Christians to reach out in love to Wiccans. Wiccans who have newly come to Christ and those who seek to learn more about the comparisons between the Craft and Christianity will also benefit from reading this accessible work.

As a former witch, and current follower of Jesus Christ I'm delighted to see Christian authors working to remove the stigma from the Craft. Witches, Wiccans and other Neopagans are people, just like any other. True, they are lost, but no more so than any other person without a personal relationship with Christ. There is no need for fear, only love. Love your pagan friends, neighbours and coworkers with the heart of Christ, and be there to answer their questions when the Father starts to draw them. I know that I'm thankful for the Christian neighbours in my life who kindly answered my queries without pressure or disdain when I heard Him call.
