How about it's what I call church ignorance. If it has nothing to do with the old puritan ways, it's evil because it is'nt something made for or by Jesus. I believe most Christian scholars should study other beliefs and religions before donning anything they don't know about or understand as evil or demonic. But it seems the doctrine is to remain ignorant and that's because alot of the old puritan and early preachers found it hard to keep a congregation in their thrall if they got smart and investigated things for themselves to see how harmless or benign something might be... and anything that threatened their word or scared them could be deemed "demonic" or "witchcraft" so that they were justified in destroying it. And that is NOT what the bible or "God's Word" even teaches. He gave us minds to think for ourselves and the brains to find ways to heal ourselves as well as his faith that he'd heal us... and the greatest gift of all, the free will to make up our minds for ourselves.
SO.. are dreamcatchers demonic? Only if it was made to catch demonic dreams... duh! LOL!!
No... of course not. Tell them the real meaning of them which is to catch dreams for babies and the good dreams are stored in the feathers to be dreamed the next night and the bad dreams get caught in the beads in the webbing to be destroyed with the morning sunlight.
