Everything Under the Moon

I tend to be of the belief, and perhaps you come from a similar viewpoint, Juliaki, that there's more than enough to go around for everyone who wants something, as long as they're willing to work for it. Exactly, yes. We may have different theological reasons behind this, but I agree with that stat...

However, using a spell to get something you want will most likely always have a negative consequence. If that were true, then *any* spell (for money, for healing, for peace, etc.) will have a negative consequence. That is not something I personally believe in, nor is it something that my experience...

Sure you can argue that a simple job interview is a contest to see who does the best at manipulating the interviewer, and it usually is. The part I find unethical, is using Magic to manipulate someone- whether it's to make them fall in love with you, to give you money or interfere with their free w...

I work at a company where nepotism is perfectly acceptable. It has never benefitted me, however I don't begrudge those who benefit from it. As far as bribes or sexual contact, that's against company policies, so I would oppose anyone engaging in that action. So from what I'm hearing here, using magi...

Have no fear... I don't think she's leaving, given that she's still posting a day later.

And I'm glad for that. I think she's interesting to have around. She's been one of the few reasons I've posted here as much as I have in the past few days, and that's been a good thing for me at least.

For me, ethics aren't limited to spellcasting. Essentially what you're implying is that if you work hard at your job and get a promotion at the cost of someone else, that would be unethical. Therefore, no one should work hard in life, because if they choose to work hard and another person doesn't, t...

Again, I'm not questioning your ethics. I'm questioning the idea that your ethics apply to everyone who casts a spell. That's all... nothing more, nothing less.

Excuse me?? You said that my "opinion is not from a Wiccan point of view". Therefore you are saying my opinion is not Wiccan. Those two statements do not say the same thing, no. You then claim that Im speaking from a neo-eclectic point of view....suggesting that eclectic Wicca is seperate...

How dare you not call me Wiccan. I am thoroughly insulted and angry. How dare you try and tell me what religion I am. You think that eclectic Wiccans aren't Wiccan? You think that somehow because I choose to follow my own path that I have less knowledge? I'm saying that you are not in a position to...

Look at the quote above from watershield....if you use magick to increase your monetary gain someone else will most likely suffer. Before anyone thinks of doing a spell the correct way is to think about the ethics first....who is this going to harm directly? Who is this going harm indirectly....to ...

Sounded like you're suggesting that people who live on minimum wage choose that way of living. A minimum wage slave to society?? Everyone has got to start somewhere love....you gotta sift through the sh*t to get to where you wanna be. A lot of people actually do choose that way of life, even if the...

I'm not saying it's the 'Pagan way' to live in poverty. I just don't think it's right to use a prosperity spell when you already have ample amounts of money. You cannot expect life to be plain sailing financially. You are bound to have a few debts. Why? I don't believe in original sin or living a l...

To me, prosperity is not embodied by mere survivalist mentality. It is not simply begging the gods for a nickel for a crust of moldy bread. Our divine parents are rulers of the universe itself... why wouldn't our Lord and Lady want us to have the best things in life? Prosperity means not only surviv...

I see no problem with doing prosperity workings until one has the kind of lifestyle they desire. Within the last year, my husband and I did prosperity workings to buy a new enclosed room on the back of our house big enough for small rituals and with a 7-person hot tub at the other end. We also did w...

Your thoughts mirror mine... you cannot self-initiate, but you certainly can dedicate yourself to a particular practice, deity, or belief system.
