Leviticus 20:6-7

"Do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God" (verse 31). This is interesting because these three Scriptures that I am going to go to all occur within what is called "the holiness code." The holiness code begins in Leviticus 19:2: "You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy." That's the holiness code. God wants us to be just as holy as He is, and so He gives us a code—the ordinances here—to help us to do that. I picked these Scriptures out of here because they have to do with this idea of holiness, and of course spiritism and occultism.

These are getting very interesting, and very serious. First we find that it's defiling. Then we find out that God compares it to prostitution.

Notice within the holiness code that spiritism and consulting with mediums is relegated to things level of badness, of evil, as fornication-prostitution. In the one verse there in Leviticus 19, it's right between keeping the Sabbath and honoring the elderly. In chapter 20 it comes right after idolatry.

This is a very interesting way these things work in the Bible—the way God inspired them to be set in here. This returns us to the notion of purity. Remember we talked about that before when we went to Titus 1: "To the pure, all things are pure." The spiritism defiles. The occultism of Halloween defiles. It makes us impure. Like I said, God calls it prostitution, which is the physical counterpart to spiritual prostitution—idolatry .

It seems to me here that we're seeing that abominable sexual practices are to God the same as witchcraft and demonism. One is physical, and the other is spiritual. Remember, He says directly that whoever turns after mediums and familiar spirits to prostitute himself with them, that this spiritism, which is nothing more than idolatry, is spiritual prostitution.
