Ethics & Magic

So what are the rules?

Is there some nebulous authority out there that sets the rules we must follow, or do we each decide for our selves.

Can we use magic to protect ourselves from the 'deeds of ordinary man'?

Can we use magic to manifest wheat we need? What we want? Who we want? Who we desire?

Are there limits? What are they?

Just a light and idol topic.....

Have you studied the Three-Fold Law and the Wiccan Rede? Acoording to the Three-Fold Law, any thing you cast will come back to you three times the powers. Like the Law of Karma. It kinda prevents you to cast "evil" spells at people. Also, no spell or magic should mess with free will. So love spell and stuff are out of the question.

It all depends on your beliefs. i do not believe in it. Nor am I am I a wiccan.

to me, i think that energy is neither createred nor destoried, so if you send out negative energy, it will still be there and it will come back. some goes to positive energy.

I manifest all sorts of things all the time, so I don't think that rings true.

With love spells, people block love for many different reasons, it is not messing with free will to remove obstacles.

When is it ethical to use magic? When not?

Who decides? Who decides who decides?

The basic one is to remember the universal law that everything you send out will come back to you. This happens as small as having a bad day, having bad feelings, dwelling on those feelings, and your day just gets worse, or smiling at strangers and watching them return it.. or as large as casting a harmful spell on another person and years later finding yourself greatly harmed or in another way made completely miserable. Once I cast a good luck spell on a friend. I had good luck for a few months.

You cannot change another's will. This does go back to Karma. Think about how you would feel if someone did that to you? Something in life would likely come to you that gives you those negative feelings. Not only is it not a good idea, and ethically wrong, but its nearly impossible.

Basically just think long and hard before you cast anything. Think of how you word things. Think of your emotions at the time you plan to project energy. Make sure everything is in check and you are satisfied with any possible repercussions.

Best wishes!

Blessed be

And I would like to add that it is always a good idea and good ethics to ask before you cast a spell on another person. In most cases, the result you seek can be achieved by casting a spell on yourself instead. Always consider protection spells as an alternative to curses on others. The only times I have cast spells on others is when its a helpful thing for them and I have their permission.
