Doreen Virtue was once one of the most well-known figures in the New Age movement. A successful author and purveyor of Angel Cards, a tool of the occult, she had an awakening in 2017 that burst through her spiritual fog and led her right to Jesus.
Now, Virtue is warning people not to buy her old products, to flee the New Age, not to pray to angels, and to cling to Christ. It’s a remarkable turnaround that came after Virtue read the Bible and finally saw the evils of the occult.
“I'm devastated that some people may be in hell now because they were following my work,” she said on the “Ex-Psychic Saved” podcast. “It's heartbreaking every day to realize my old work’s out there and what I did.”
But Virtue relies on the Lord, telling host Jenn Nizza she’s grateful for God opening her eyes and heart to the Gospel and saving her “while there was still time.” “It's a miracle,” she said.
Virtue discussed some of the lies she believed as a child, including the claim she didn’t need to read or trust the Bible, that Jesus was simply a man, and that he was a wish-granter of sorts. As she grew up, she soon found herself doing readings on people, and using angel cards to try and channel spirits to convey information.
Eventually, she moved into creating her own angel card decks and found massive success selling them — as well as her popular books — to people in the New Age movement across the globe.
“It just became this phenomenon really quickly and I thought it was God's blessing on me,” Virtue said. “I didn't realize that the devil will use people … to further his deception.”
She continued, “And so I was being used by the devil, thinking that I was getting rewarded.”
By all worldly standards, Virtue had it all: an ocean-front house, nice furniture, and a family. Yet the cracks started to show through.
“I really thought I was a Christian doing God's work,” she said. “I had no idea that I was an abomination to God by doing and teaching divination until 2017 when I read Deuteronomy
18:10-12, and I was floored when it says there that anyone who does these things … is detestable [and an] abomination to God, and the veil was lifted I just … fell to my knees.”

What is Ex-Psychic Saved: Exposing Divination, New Age, and the Occult?
Jennifer Nizza knows what it means to discern — and confront — evil. Once trapped on the hampster wheel of the New Age for 25 years, she was radically saved out of the occult and bondage by Jesus Christ. Nizza was a psychic medium and a teacher of the occult, and, as a result, was demonically oppressed. She taught topics such as: the law of attraction, past life regression, automatic writing, tarot, and mediumship. Despite being deeply rooted in the occult, at the age of 36, she cried out to Jesus for the first time and became a Christian. Suddenly, the darkness she was embroiled in was illuminated. She quit her job as a psychic, picked up her cross to follow Jesus — and hasn't looked back. Nizza, author of the books "From Psychic to Saved" and "Out of the New Age and Into the Truth," is now exposing the New Age, occultism, and paranormal deceptions through "The Ex-Psychic Saved Podcast." This podcast is dedicated to warning all about the dangers of the occult. She will talk about many New Age topics, expose where psychics get their information, interact with compelling guests, and much more!
