Stand now With Your Enchantments
And The Multitude Of YOUR SORCERIES,
In which you have labored from your youth—
Perhaps you will be able to profit,
Perhaps you will prevail.
You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels;
Let now The Astrologers, The Stargazers,
And The Monthly Prognosticators
Stand up and save you
From what shall come upon you.
Behold, They Shall Be As Stubble,
The Fire Shall Burn Them;
They shall not deliver themselves
From The Power Of The Flame;
It shall not
be a coal to be warmed by,
Nor a fire to sit before!

Use The Sign Of The Cross as A Weapon against it :
• Athanasius of Alexandria (296-373 A.D.)
(
On The Incarnation Of The Word - 31)
"By The Sign Of The Cross All Magic Is Stopped, and All Witchcraft Brought To Nought, and all the idols are being deserted and left, and every unruly pleasure is checked, and every one is looking up from earth to heaven."
• Athanasius - Life of St Anthony - par 78 (296-373 ad)
But we by the mention of Christ crucified put all demons to flight, whom you fear as if they were gods. Where The Sign Of The Cross Is, Magic Is Weak And Witchcraft Has No Strength.
• Athanasius of Alexandria (269-373 A.D.)
"By the signing of the holy and life-giving cross, devils and various scourges are driven away. For it is without price and without cost and praises him who can say it. The holy fathers have, by their words, transmitted to us, and even to the unbelieving heretics, how the two raised fingers and the single hand reveal Christ our God in His dual nature but single substance. The right hand proclaims His immeasurable strength, His sitting on the right hand of the Father, and His coming down unto us from Heaven.
Again, by the movement of the hands to our right the enemies of God will be driven out, as the Lord triumphs over the Devil with His inconquerable power, rendering him dismal and weak."
• Athanasius - Life of St Anthony - Par 23 (296-373 A.D.)
'The demons, therefore, if they see all Christians, and monks especially, labouring cheerfully and advancing, first make an attack by temptation and place hindrances to hamper our way, to wit, evil thoughts. But we need not fear their suggestions, for by prayer, fasting, and faith in the Lord their attack immediately fails. But even when it does they cease not, but knavishly by subtlety come on again. For when they cannot deceive the heart openly with foul pleasures they approach in different guise, and thenceforth shaping displays they attempt to strike fear, changing their shapes, taking the forms of women, wild beasts, creeping things, gigantic bodies, and troops of soldiers. But not even then need you fear their deceitful displays. For they are nothing and quickly disappear, especially if a man fortify himself beforehand with faith and The Sign Of The Cross."

(296-373 A.D.)
