11月24日 Curses and EthicsI'm a Germanic heathen. I see vengeance and retribution as perfectly valid things.....if you're willing to deal with the repercussions. See everything in my path, ethically speaking, comes down to personal responsibility. Now I've seen a LOT of pagan paths pay lip service to this one, but more often then not they prop it up with some kind of scare tactic; be it Karma or Harm None or that this or that god doesn't' approve of X and spiritually smack your bottom if you step out of line or the council of witches is going to get the wrong doers...
Having such threats defeats the whole point of personal responsibility. You do (or don't do something) because its RIGHT, not because of a fear of retaliation.
Take the example of curses. I've done that. I find them very effective. And I'm always willing to deal with the fall out (if there is in, a well crafted curse doesn't have blow back) should it come. And as a result I've had a lot of people decry my "witchiness" because of it, telling me what a horrible person I am for using curses.
But what really gets me is that they are judging my doings when they don't know WHY or HOW it was done. I shouldn't interfere with someones free will, they say. But it's just fine for them to condemn me. It boggles the mind.
Anyhow. I'm not the ethics Nazi. If you want to curse someone and are ready to deal with what results from you actions (and if you don't know what you're doing it probably won't be pretty) then more power to you. It's your life and magick is just one of many tools at your disposal. Use it wisely. 引用通告此日志的引用通告 URL 是： http://vigdisdotter.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!D23A461D65CDEE29!252.trak 引用此项的网络日志
