Released several weeks ago, Smurfs is an updated computer-animated movie based on the popular '80s cartoon series. It was made with a $110 million budget and has already grossed over $162 million in one month since its opening. It features cute little blue mythical creatures that formerly proved to be the pop culture icons of their day. And whoo-hoo, now our children can enjoy them! But is Smurfs an innocent kids' movie or something more sinister?
Smurfs the Movie
In the movie Papa Smurf sees a vision of the Smurfs in cages. Gargamel is powerful and Clumsy Smurf is in possession of a dragon wand. Gargamiel then invades the Smurfs' village. In order to get away, the Smurfs flee into a forbidden cave where they are sucked into a vortex and transported to New York.
Papa Smurf has to search for a spell to get the Smurfs back home. While on a quest to do so, Gargamel uses the Dragon Wand to empower himself with magical gifts. In a nutshell, the Smurfs eventually conquer Gargamel and subsequently find the proper spell to transport themselves home (here). The end. So what could be so bad about that? Its a safe plot with cute characters! Good conquers evil! Read on...
Occult Themes of the Smurfs and Background
About 3:30 into the video Gargamel draws pentegram and cast a spell
The truth is this: the story of the Smurfs is based on occult practices. The constant storyline is that these little blue creatures represent good and consistenly overcome evil by defeating Gargamel, an evil wizard, with good magic.
Throughout the movie and cutely packaged television episodes are very blatant practices of witchcraft, sorcery, and manipulation (here). In order to overcome evil, the Smurfs use good magic to cast spells, put hexes on people, and create cauldrons of potions of witchcraft (here). But the Smurfts aren't the only ones using magic. Gargamel's ultimate goal is to capture the Smurfs in order to eat them. He uses evil magic and is seen casting spells in the name of Beelzebub. Beelzebub means "lord of the flies", "prince of demons" the fact natural flies carry many diseases. Demonic spirits are spiritual flies that carry natural and spiritual diseases to inflict harm on mankind. Gargamel is an evil wizard and represents black magic while Papa Smurf is a good wizard and represents white magic. The Church of Satan founder, Anton Lavey, said that there is no difference between black magic and white magic. Whether black or white, they both draw their power from Satan.
In the movie Gargamel draws his power from the Dragon Wand. If we see in the Book of Revelation that Satan is called "the dragon," then is Gargamel receiving his power from Satan? In Revelation 13, "the False Prophet" draws his power from Satan/Dragon to work lying signs and wonders.
Azrael the Cat
Azrael the cat is Gargamel's familiar. What is a familiar? A familiar is a demon that supposedly attends and obeys a witch. In witchcraft and demonology a cat is an animal embodies a supernatural spirit and aids a witch in performing magic (here). Azrael is often seen aiding Gargamel in performing his magical craft. The actual name for Azrael is the name of Lucifer's personal death angel and is also looked at as the Archangel of Death in some extrabiblical traditions. The creators of the Smurfs sneak in this occult belief in the form of children's tales to entice people into the occult arts.
The book "Fourteen Things Witches Hope Parents Never Find Out" p.73 states the following:
"When a person is in demonism and they want to commit suicide they call on on Azrael. Unless you were well versed in demonology you would not chosen that name. The names for these characters are not made up; they come from demonology and the occult"
One thing is very interesting: the author stated that these characters' names aren't made up. They come from the occult. The creators and writers of the Smurfs aren't ignorant to these facts. Their agenda is to push an occult agenda to youth of America. This movie at best is a satanic tool to desensitize the general public to witchcraft/occult, and draw young people that may be curious about the curious arts.
Smurfette the Succubi
The only female smurf of the whole village of males is Smurfette. Smurfette was created by the wizard Gargamel using a magical potion. Its' ingredients include: "Sugar and spice but nothing nice...crocodile tears...A peck of bird brain...The tip of an adder's tongue...Half a pack of lies, white, of course...The slyness of a cat...The vanity of a peacock...The chatter of a magpie...The guile of a vixen and the disposition of a shrew...And of course the hardest stone for her heart...." Let's analyze three, shall we?1.The tip of adder's tongue. The adder is one of the most deadly snakes in the world. Its a serpent. And don't forget, the serpent in the Garden of Eden and how it beguiled Eve. Spiritual serpents can poison someone spiritually and leave its victims spiritually dead.
2. The slyness of cat. slyness is practice of deceit. Who is the grandmaster of deceit? Satan himself. Enough said.
3. Smurfette she was made of a pack of lies. Satan is the father of lies.
All of Smurfette's ingredients are characteristics of a devil. In all actuality Smurfette was originally a Succubi/she devil created to bring about the defeat of the Smurfs. She was summoned by Gargamel. So what is a succubi? A Succubus (Succubai plural) is a female demon that appears in a human woman form in the dreams of men in order to seduce them through sexual intercourse. A Succubus is also looked at in modern literature as a highly attractive seductress or enchantress. Their main objective is to bewitch men in order to bring them down to their destruction (see Proverbs 6:23-32).
The orginal purpose of Smurfette's existence was to entice all of the male Smurfs and cause distrust within their community which would ultimately cause. But eventually Papa Smurf uses good magic to transform Smurfette into a beautiful blonde smurf.
Spirit Led Parenting and Instruction: Key to Combat Occult Influence
As Christian parents we must be good stewards over our children's spirituality. We must instill in them a strong foundation of the Word of God and train them up in the way they should go so that when they are old they won't depart from it (Proverbs 22:6). I like the quote from Jeremy White's book entitled, "In His Shadow: Growing With Reggie White." Jeremy is the son of the late great NFL Hall of Famer Reggie White. In his book he quotes an experience he had at six years old while a friend's house. "I was six years old over at my friend's Tammy's house watching television when Tammy's mom Ms. Lynn asked me something that could have compromised my beliefs, " She told him that he could watch the Smurfs. "I knew my dad wouldn't want me to watch the Smurfs because it had witchcraft in it. Papa Smurf had a black cauldron and would practice alchemy. His nemesis, Gargamel cast spells. Dad had some beliefs he would waver on, but witchcraft wasn't one of them." Ms. Lynn told him that it was okay and that his mother wouldn't mind. He ended up telling her no and that he wouldn't watch the show. He ended up turning his head and closing his eyes until she turned the channel (here)."
When his mother came to pick him up, Ms. Lynn told his mother how obedient he was. This was due to Jeremy's spiritual training that his parents instilled in him. When he was tested he didn't fall under pressure. A key to aiding Christian kids in this dark spiritual condition of America is to get them grounded in the Word of God, prayer, and spiritual warfare. The enemy wants our kids and he is attempting to pull out all the stops. Parents must operate under a much greater level of discernment and a greater knowledge of the Word. Satan is using demonic child's play to bewitch this generation of children through the media as a medium. Here are some scriptures to consider regarding this subject matter. Be blessed.
Acts 8:9-12 states,
"But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women."
Deuteronomy 18:9-16 states,
"When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not."
Second Chronicles 33:6 states,
"And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger."
