Thank you! You know I found this forum after I left another one where people became upset at me for saying something very similar. I soon realized that it wasn't a forum I wanted to be a part of.Xiao Rong wrote:why is hexing somebody any different morally from slashing someone's tires or something?
As far as magick being black or white, there's Buddhist belief that nothing is good or bad. You either live skillfully or unskillfully. Living skillfully entails coming from a place of love and peace. Living unskillfully entails coming from a place of anger, hate and revenge. They're not considered good or bad, but if you live skillfully you reap a blessed life. If you live unskillfully you reap a cursed life. Again, blessed or cursed isn't considered good or bad... but being skillful at life is much more desirable then being unskillful.
And it's not easy, I know. I've been through almost everything a person can go through and have plenty of reason to hex a handful of people. I've been tempted, several times... a test of my character. Somehow my moral compass has prevailed and for that I'm grateful.
When I mentor someone I ALWAYS tell them to write down a moral code of conduct in their Book of Shadows. So in those moments when you're tossed about life's angry sea you can use it as your moral compass to find calmer waters.
Some don't believe in the 3 fold law, but I have a hard time believing it doesn't exist when so many different cultures have made the same observations that what you do, think and say comes back to you.
Hope something in that was helpful to you Jonjonsalinas!
Good luck & Goddess Bless! <3
