Erna is a practicing Wiccan. His religion influences some of his songwriting to include the song "Spiral." It is commonly misbelieved that the song "Voodoo" is about his religious beliefs, but truly it is based on the movie "The Serpent and the Rainbow." He has stated publicly, however, that he "didn't want to be the poster boy for witchcraft", and does not necessarily capitalize on his religion for providing fame to the band. In fact, the issue of his religious beliefs never comes up unless he is asked in an interview. Godsmack guitarist Tony Rombola has even stated in interviews that Erna is the only religious member of the band.
