Getting Clear and Fully Intentional on Your Own Philosophy of Witchcraft

Witchcraft is, if nothing else, raw power. And if you really know what you're doing with it, it's also a huge responsibility. Because you have a great (and potentially hugely unfair) advantage over people who don't yet know how to tap into their own magic. And misusing one's magic is a surefire way to sabotage one's own goals and dreams and destiny.
This is why it's incredibly important to get clear on how you're willing to use your power OVERALL, and not be one to act rashly in the heat of a moment. This is important aside from the FACT that when you pick up one end of the stick, you are certainly picking up the other (AKA karma), which opens its own can of worms (that I won't even begin to talk about here).
But before I get too into why each of us needs a very clear philosophy of witchcraft, I want to define three types of spells:
Regarding drawing and repelling spells, we all have preferences for ourselves. Regardless of one's age or experience, if a witch understands that he or she has power, that person is certainly going to begin experimenting with drawing and repelling just as surely as they are going to have preferences at all.
Each of us has to begin our practice of magic somewhere. And using it to explore our power and influence over our own lives is going to happen, ready or not. There is sure to be trial and error the same as in every area of life.
Where I'm hoping young witches (and really, witches of any age and experience) will exercise great caution is where aggressive spells are concerned.
I'm not saying never to do them. I don't know everything, obviously. But THAT is actually the point: None of us knows everything.
That bully who is bullying is very likely also being bullied. YES, you CAN curse him. Obviously. But aside from the ENERGY you are putting into the spell to curse him (i.e. using up your own precious time and energy), in almost every case, you're only doing half the job.
You want the bullying to stop, so you shut down the bully. Never mind the backstory. Never mind the healing the bully needs to experience. Never mind that bully's actual growth process and life mission.
Aggressive magic OFTEN basically says:
"I am impatient and I am TOO BUSY FOR THIS, and I want this to STOP NOW and I don't mind if I become a bully just like you in the process."
Impatience is a vice. And if we act upon it with haste, we are training ourselves to act in haste, which in turn influences our character.
What kind of witch do you want to become eventually?
A wise woman of the woods or just a mean old hag?
Obviously we are all busy. We don't have time to get to the bottom of every single situation that influences us. But if we're going to spend our precious energy ANYWAY, we can at least get a little more curious about the situation we feel strongly enough to control by using COLOSSAL MAGICAL POWER.
If you truly DON'T have time, I just want to make a recommendation, and it's to soften what you do.
For example, you can outright curse a bully by causing him harm. But I wouldn't, because:
Killing a fly with a bulldozer is absolutely inefficient when there are such things as flyswatters.
When I can do a very simple and minimum-energy-required Forget It Spell so the bully ceases to be able to retain a single thought about my kid (almost like my kid becomes invisible to him), WHY waste massive amounts of emotional and spiritual energy on causing this bully huge life problems that will follow him for the rest of his life and maybe even GENERATIONS?
Because I like the feeling of my own wrath?
Please.
What are our most beautiful and exciting dreams?
What is my destiny?
Why am I here?
What glorious thing can I become if I play this witch card strategically?
Our energy is going to be poured into SOMETHING. So many things, in fact.
What glory do we hope to become when we are finished here?
I hope you want to become something glorious and beautiful and transformational.
Personally?
I NEVER use my controlling or cursing formulas.
Not for anything.
Not only are THEY too powerful, I MYSELF am too powerful.
The furthest I would go with even a Follow Me Formula is if my significant other were to repeatedly forget the milk day after day.
Then I would TELL HIM:
"Dude, ok if I cast a Follow Me Formula spell on you for this one? Babies need milk."
And then WITH HIS PERMISSION, I would cast.
Magic can easily hurt our ability to work on relationships. If what I SHOULD be working on is better overall communication with my significant other (whom I'm claiming to truly love), then casting a controlling spell on him is absolutely counterproductive.
What do I want for our relationship?
To be with a man who has no will of his own and who has to do everything I say because he has no choice?
Come on.
ALL of this can be avoided with sufficient focus on one's destiny and mission. What kind of relationships do you want to have with people? With yourself? With the world? You are here for a full lifetime. So these questions are well worth answering if you're engaging in witchcraft, which makes EVERYTHING exponential.
I recommend every witch keep these questions in mind FIRST, LAST, AND ALWAYS.
And only RARELY, if ever at all, engage in aggressive magic.
I make the formulas myself and I never use them. I put REALLY POWERFUL, time-tested herbs and oils in them THAT WORK TOO WELL! And that is precisely why I never recommend them. My vote is ALWAYS for deeper thinking on the subject and a little more creativity and innovation when it comes to potential solutions. Why curse your co-worker when you can cast a Come To Me spell that will help create a beautiful synthesis of the best of both personalities and make your office a better place for everyone, which, in turn, starts making the world a better place?
I sell cursing and controlling oils because not every witch sees the world the way I do. I sell them because maybe you know something I don't, and you actually happen to KNOW that cursing a certain person is the ONLY WAY to deal with them. And maybe you will use the crazy-powerful oil to do something that will help make the world a better place.
And if I were in your shoes, I might 100% agree with you.
More than giving you reasons why I recommend having your own philosophy of witchcraft, maybe I've mostly just told you what mine is, which isn't what I promised at the beginning of this post.
But if nothing else, I have expressed a basis of comparison for you to form your own philosophy of witchcraft.
Do you agree with my philosophy?
If not, why?
What is YOUR philosophy?
What do YOU want to become?
If nothing else, I hope you will consider answering these questions for yourself before you start (or continue) engaging in aggressive magic.
I also want to say last, but not least, is if you read my blog post on How to Fully Activate Your Magic Oil, you already know that having a powerfully activated oil (which is your part in oil prep) entails having a very powerful "feeling video" that you play over and over again. Just imagine LITERALLY TRAINING YOURSELF to become someone who enjoys others' suffering. Seriously? I can't even. But that is precisely how you would activate any of my aggressive oils.
Maybe I'm wrong to even let you in on that. But Dear Customer and Friend, I am hoping you will be FULLY INFORMED about it. And then make BEAUTIFUL AND WISE DECISIONS. Even if it still might entail some form of aggressive magic and is different from what I would do.
This is the ONLY hope we have for Planet Earth. I want as many of us as possible to be as wise as serpents yet harmless as doves as possible.
And I hope you will have a DRAGON inside that CAN AND COULD be unleashed at ANY TIME in righteous wrath, but never is nor has to be.
