Luther quotes

That Samuel was brought up by a medium or wizard [1 Samuel 28:8-14] was surely a spectre of the devil, not only because the Scriptures in that place declares that it was done by a woman who was filled with devils (…), but also because Saul and the woman when they inquired of the dead were clearly acting contrary to this divine commandment. Against this commandment the Holy Spirit cannot and may not act, nor let his saints act; nor yet help or approve those who do act against it.” Martin Luther, Misuse of the Mass, LW, AE, 36:196
