Praying to Dismantle Witchcraft In many cultures and societies, the belief in witchcraft exists, and it is believed that individuals practicing witchcraft can cause harm to others. In such instances, prayers are often used as a means to protect oneself or others from the negative effects of witchcraft. Praying to dismantle witchcraft involves seeking the divine intervention and assistance in removing any harmful spells or curses that may have been placed upon a person or community. The act of praying to dismantle witchcraft can take different forms depending on the religious or spiritual beliefs of the individual or community. For example, in Christianity, prayers may be directed to God, asking for protection and deliverance from any evil forces or witchcraft. These prayers often include pleas for the removal of any harmful spells, curses, or negative energy that may have been directed towards an individual or a group.
I feel like this may be controversial with putting Nothing Yet so high but honestly I enjoy every song on the album while Sad Boys only has about 2 tracks I listen to regularly and Heaven Surrounds You is pretty bloated in my opinion. Anyways Buds is number 1 for its most consistent and there’s not really a track I dislike. Jacob’s voice isn’t the best but I find it to still be really charming. Nothing Yet has great songs but my only flaw with it is its length. The sound pallet and production are consistent and for the feel of the album which always reminds me of driving through a city at night. It also has mostly songs based off movies to convey feelings. Id say this is the thing Surf Curse does best and is sorta like a trademark for them. Sad Boys production feels like Buds but not as lofi. Buds didn’t have the same lofi-ness as early Beach Fossils or the demo tape but it is still filled with colorful peaks reminiscent of White Light / White Heat by the Velvet Underground. Beach Whatever and Forever Dumb and I’m Not Making Out With You are it’s standout tracks and I don’t really care for the others. Heaven Surrounds You started seeing them turn into basic indie pop but still a pretty good record nonetheless. I think quite a few tracks could’ve been cut but I think Map to the Stars, Midnight Cowboy, Hour of the Wolf, and Opera are some of their best tracks. I feel like Magic Hour is self explanatory. I mean Nothing Yet to Heaven Surrounds You makes sense as an evolution but Magic Hour doesn’t even sound surf rock. It sounds like dad rock and dated despite coming out only a few months ago. I guess you could make the argument that I just need for it to grow on me but the weird thing is that while Voyager was an album that heavily grew on me, I still enjoyed it on the first listen. When listening to Magic Hour, I kept checking to see how much longer until the album was finished which really doesn’t make an album fun to listen to. The record felt more like a push from the label to make a TikTok and radio friendly album when Voyager obviously had a ton of passion and love going into it. Every other SC album has a ton of teenage and adolescent vibes to them which is lacking on Magic Hour. You’d expect for this to mean that Magic Hour feels mature but it doesn’t. I don’t know how it feels.

Reviews for "The Battle Against Witchcraft: Strengthening Your Prayer Life"
1. Catherine - ★☆☆☆☆
I had high hopes for "Praying to dismantle witchcraft" after reading the intriguing title, but I was ultimately disappointed. The author goes on incessantly about their personal experiences with witchcraft without providing any substantial evidence or analysis to support their claims. The book is poorly structured and lacks a coherent argument. I was left feeling confused and unsatisfied.
2. John - ★★☆☆☆
While I appreciate the author's attempt to discuss the topic of witchcraft, "Praying to dismantle witchcraft" falls short in delivering a well-researched and balanced perspective. The author's biases and religious beliefs heavily influence their arguments, making it difficult for readers who hold different views to engage with the book. Additionally, the writing style is confusing and repetitive, which hindered my understanding of the main points being made. Overall, I would not recommend this book to those seeking a comprehensive and unbiased exploration of witchcraft.

The author repeatedly dismisses alternative viewpoints and fails to provide convincing evidence to support their claims. The book lacks depth and fails to engage with the complexities of witchcraft in a meaningful way. I found myself frustrated and unconvinced by the author's arguments, making it difficult to take their perspective seriously.
