We are taught early in our spiritual journey as Wiccans about the Three-Fold Law, that whatever we do for good or ill returns to us three-fold. It is a concept rife with misunderstanding and misinterpretations. We behave because we are afraid of being smacked with the Karmic paddle. Being good little Witches because we fear punishment if we break the rules does not make ethical beings, just clever ones. There is no Karmic scorekeeper out there keeping a list of who's been naughty or nice. There is no Divine retribution, or something like the Christian Hell for violations on the Rede. What the Three-Fold Law is telling us is that our choices of action have consequences for which we alone are responsible. And if our choices are consistently negative or harmful towards others, then the energy which tends to return to us will also be negative and harmful. The consequences of our actions come back to impact us physically, emotionally and spiritually. To live our lives full of anger, guilt, and negative thoughts can lead to both physical and mental illness right here in this lifetime. And it can affect our connections to the Divine. In effect, we become the tools of our own Karma.

I do not believe in karma or the three folds law, I've been doing curses for years and never had anything comeback to me. So I practice as I please (which i think everyone should) with no fear of it coming back.

well i don't know anything about the three fold law(may be because i live in india and never heard of it) okay coming to the point the karma has an effect the good the bad the past the future.
it is lot more difficult to understand how karma works, don't try to understand it took me a whole year to understand the effects of karma.
it is more complicated than it sounds
and it can only be understood by experience, not by reading the essence of it
trust me if you want to understand it will surely take a lot of time and you can understand only by experiencing it.
I actually watch what spells I want to practice. As for curses, no way. I don't care how angry someone gets me or wrongs me, I believe that that action will return to them with a force that is 7 times stronger than the deed itself.
This is mostly a Wiccan Belief
Everything that you cast will come back onto you times 3 pretty much..Don't worry about it if you are non Wiccan
Its a moral code BUT Karma is very real and what ever you do in life or in Magick will always come full circle so be careful what you cast and be ready either way.
