I don't see anything as "wrong" or "bad" unless you are hurting someone. Clearly you aren't so why worry? I don't really think much of my studies in occult, psychics, and other paranormal sciences. If you think you MUST tell your friends about you being a witch then do it. If they care enough about you as a good friend then they'll understand. They won't necessarily take interest but they'll still support you. That's what friends are for.

It's really up to you. I believe there's good helping, there's bad helping, and the line between the two is very thin. One is based in goodwill and love and the other in self-aggrandizement. I don't believe there's anyone that can give you a concrete rule for determining which is which.

It's also very easy, in my humble opinion, to deceive yourself into believing that a self-aggrandizing action is truly based in love. If the type of 'help' you're giving isn't based in love, there's a good chance it will directly interfere with someone's free will. There's also a good chance that the interference occurs in a way that you'd never consider.

Since the mind is capable of justifying almost anything (possibly everything), logic is no good here. I guess my point is that you are the only person who can find out if what you're doing is good or bad.

hope that helps,

T. Guy.

Hmm...your incredible answer amazes me. Tell me. How many days did you spend coming up with such an answer?

As long as what you do doesn't infringe on their free will or ability to choose, then I don't think any harm will come of it. Your intentions are right and if your methods are equally prudent, then I think you'll be okay.

Blessed be.
