She Had a Million Followers Reading Tarot Cards — Then Jesus Changed Everything
Faith Facts
- Alexandra Ashcroft, known as ‘Alex Reads Tarot,’ abandoned her nearly one million TikTok followers after encountering Jesus Christ
- A growing number of former witches and tarot readers are publicly converting to Christianity and sharing their testimonies online
- The conversion stories are sparking intense debate across social media platforms about spiritual warfare and redemption
A dramatic spiritual awakening is sweeping through an unexpected corner of social media. Former practitioners of witchcraft and tarot are turning away from the occult and embracing Christianity in numbers that have caught the attention of believers and skeptics alike.
Alexandra Ashcroft built a massive following on TikTok under the name ‘Alex Reads Tarot,’ offering spiritual guidance through tarot card readings to nearly one million followers. But her life took an unexpected turn when she encountered Jesus Christ. Her conversion has been nothing short of dramatic, and she’s now sharing her testimony with the same audience that once sought her occult services.
Laura Maxwell, who has been tracking this phenomenon, notes that Ashcroft’s story is far from isolated. A wider trend is emerging of individuals who once practiced witchcraft, offered tarot readings, or engaged in other occult practices now finding salvation through Christ.
The conversions have sparked fierce debate online. Some celebrate these testimonies as proof of God’s transformative power and His ability to reach anyone, regardless of their past. Others question the authenticity of such dramatic turnarounds, while some in the occult community have responded with hostility to those they view as abandoning their former spiritual path.
For Christians, these stories represent a powerful reminder of the spiritual battle described in Scripture. The Apostle Paul wrote about wrestling “not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age.” These modern testimonies echo the transformative power of the Gospel that has changed lives for two thousand years.
The phenomenon also highlights the spiritual hunger prevalent in contemporary culture. Many who turned to tarot and witchcraft were seeking meaning, purpose, and connection — needs that are ultimately fulfilled only through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Former practitioners often describe their past involvement in the occult as spiritually oppressive and emotionally draining. Upon conversion, they report experiencing genuine peace, freedom, and purpose that eluded them during their years of occult practice.
These testimonies serve as an encouragement to Christians to remain faithful in prayer for those caught in spiritual deception. They demonstrate that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace and that the Holy Spirit is actively working to draw people out of darkness and into His marvelous light.
The viral nature of these conversion stories also provides a unique evangelistic opportunity. As former occult practitioners share their testimonies with audiences that may never darken the door of a church, they’re bringing the Gospel message to spiritually hungry individuals who desperately need to hear the truth about Jesus Christ.

- Franklin Graham was raised in the shadow of his father Billy Graham, one of the most influential Christian leaders of the twentieth century.
- He has publicly stated that he never tried to become Billy Graham and instead sought to follow the distinct path God set before him.
- The younger Graham has carried the Gospel message across the globe through Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association while maintaining a clear Christian conservative witness.
Franklin Graham recently opened up about the challenges of growing up in the household of the twentieth century’s most renowned evangelist. He explained that being the son of Billy Graham carried both a tremendous blessing and a heavy weight of expectations.
Despite the public scrutiny and inevitable comparisons, Graham made a deliberate choice early in life. He decided he would not attempt to replicate his father’s ministry or persona in any way.
“I never try to be Billy Graham,”
he said. This statement reflects the conviction that God equips each believer for a unique assignment rather than a copy of someone else’s.
Graham’s own ministry has grown into a powerful force for the Gospel through both the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the international relief work of Samaritan’s Purse. His approach has been marked by direct, unapologetic proclamation of biblical truth on issues ranging from religious liberty to the sanctity of life and traditional marriage.
“I never try to be Billy Graham,”
he reiterated, underscoring that his calling has always been to serve the Lord faithfully in the time and culture where God has placed him.
Today Franklin Graham continues to lead large-scale evangelistic events across the United States and around the world. He remains a steady voice for Christian values at a time when many pulpits have grown silent on cultural matters.
