Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree with most of them.

Love spells are tricky as hell for a lot of reasons - you mentioned a few. I generally don’t advise them.

Right, Protection spells don’t push people away - they just create a “buffer-zone” between you and the other person. If the person leaves after doing a protection spell, that’s their independent choice - not the result of your spell. Banishing does push people away - hence the name.

Hexing is _never_ acceptable in my tradition and moral framework.

I go into this here:

> Welcome back Drew, Witchcraft and the occult is full of people who want to bend the rules so it’s more a matter of the morality of the person than if something is “taboo". Yes there are spells that exist for both purposes. The question is - is it wise to perform them? I am personally against hexing anyone, for any reason. There’s going to be extraordinarily bad karma waiting for you if your spell succeeds - and even attempts to circumvent said karma will inevitably fail. Karma isn’t like a “go…

Karma is the issue. For every action is a reaction, yes - _but this rule applies to everyone._

Cheers. 🪷
