🎬 ⚠️ Before You Watch Peaky Blinders Film 🎥 My thoughts after the first time i’ve ever watched it…

This isn’t about judging anyone—it’s about being aware.

I enjoyed it… BUT only as i was rooted in my faith an couldn’t wait to write this warning ‼️ ❤️in Love.

Peaky Blinders is powerful and well-made, but it includes themes and spiritual elements that Christians should think carefully about before watching.

🧠 What’s in the show?
• Violence, crime, and revenge
• Moral compromise
• Sexual content and substance use
• ⚠️ Spiritual elements:
• Palm reading
• Clairvoyance
• Spirit communication / mediumship

✝️ Why this matters (from a Christian perspective):
The Bible warns against seeking guidance or power from spiritual sources outside of God (see Deuteronomy 18:10–12, 1 John 4:1).

Not everything spiritual is from God—and some things are clearly warned against.

⚖️ Important note on culture:
The show connects some of these elements to Romani (“Gypsy”) heritage.
But let’s be clear and respectful:

👉 A people group is not defined by these practices
👉 Romani culture is rich, diverse, and should never be stereotyped

Even in the show, characters like Duke reject what’s called “gypsy magic.”

🧭 Before you watch, ask yourself:
• Am I spiritually grounded?
• Can I discern truth from fiction?
• Is this going to influence my thinking?

🛡️ Watch with wisdom:
• Stay rooted in your faith
• Don’t normalize or explore harmful practices
• Be willing to switch it off if needed

🙏 Final thought:
“Above all else, guard your heart…” – Proverbs 4:23

What we watch shapes us more than we realize.
Stay prayed up ✝️ and away from occult practices.

1. 🔄 Wrong Source of Guidance
• They seek insight from spiritual sources outside of God
• Christianity teaches truth and guidance should come from God alone

👉 Risk: being led by something that is not trustworthy or true



2. 👻 Spiritual Deception
• The Bible warns that not all spirits are good (1 John 4:1)
• What feels helpful or accurate can still be misleading

👉 Risk: deception that feels real but pulls you away from truth



3. 🔓 Opening Spiritual Doors
• These practices can involve inviting spiritual influence
• Christianity teaches believers to be careful what they engage with spiritually

👉 Risk: becoming spiritually vulnerable or confused

———
⚠️ scripture was used in the film but it was being used to manipulate the Duke character.



🧭 Simple Warning ‼️ in Love ❤️👇🏻

👉 “From a Christian viewpoint, these practices are dangerous not because they look scary, but because they can lead you away from God, distort truth, and open you to spiritual influence you don’t fully understand.”

Why Reiki is a Trap
by a former Reiki Master saved by God’s grace and mercy

Many women unknowingly enter the new age in their quest for healing, when a friend recommends a healer she describes as someone gentle, intuitive, and “spiritually gifted.” And she may not have any idea what’s behind Reiki.

So she goes to the Reiki master and is told to lie down, relax, and receive healing energy from the universe. She may feel warmth, tingling, or a sense of calm. It feels peaceful, so she assumes it must be good.

But she has been lied to because Reiki doesn’t come from God. It’s not biblical healing, nor is it “natural” energy.

Let me just stay right here that I’m not pushing Western medicine or big Pharma, as I’m skeptical about those institutions also.  But we don’t need to have a false dichotomy where we swing to the other extreme of kookie and spiritually dangerous Reiki practices.

Reiki is also dangerous because the practitioner will usually recommend that her clients read certain New Age books, or visit her astrologer or psychic. The Reiki practitioner’s room is often decorated with pagan idols. Reiki can be an entry point into the dark pipeline of deception.

Reiki is a New Age counterfeit that draws its power from demonic spirits pretending to be light. I should know: I was a Reiki master, who gave and received Reiki energy before I was saved. As a Christian, I’m sounding the alarm that Reiki isn’t something that we should be involved in at all.

True healing comes only from the Lord, not from channeling “life force” or manipulating energy fields. Reiki masters use symbols that the spiritualist Mikao Usui channeled from demons. One of his students tried to argue that Usui was a Christian seminary professor, yet she later admitted she lied to try to make Reiki more palatable to westerners. The devil is the father of lies.

Reiki practitioners often call themselves “lightworkers” and they may sincerely desire to help people, yet remember: “Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14). The next verse explains that we were servants of the devil, many of us not knowing that, and believing that we were genuinely helping people with our new age practices.

And just like mediums and psychics, Reiki practitioners are being used by the enemy (often unknowingly) to point people away from Jesus. Because going to an energy healer is not only about receiving false light. Most healers will also recommend new age books, and seminars during the session.

Energy healing may feel peaceful, and may seem helpful, but Satan often starts with relief so you’ll keep following him instead of turning to Jesus.

Be very careful, because some massage therapists and chiropractors incorporate Reiki into their practices. If you go to bodywork appointments, be sure to say ahead of time that you don’t want any Reiki. They may argue with you that Reiki is fine, or even say that it’s Christian. Some people even blasphemously say that Jesus did Reiki during his miraculous healings. But stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

Don’t be deceived. You don’t need “energy work,” you need Jesus the Great Physician. Repent and believe in the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

If you’re suffering with a physical condition, my heart goes out to you! Please pray for God to give you wisdom about the steps you can take for your healing and comfort. But please stay away from practitioners that are rooted in the occult, as God would never recommend anything that He condemns in the Bible.
