Free will is a big argument on this website and I want to join in. Here are my thoughts and opinions on free will with magick.
First things first: The argument I am talking about is if it is okay to do magick on people without their consent. For example a love spell. A love spell is messing with free will. People always want to do love spells because they love someone that doesn't love them back. Is this morally incorrect?
Second: People think magick is all about themselves. They never step back to see the real picture. Magick was made to help others. You can't go around and do magick just for yourself. You need to help others in times of need. I once helped someone who was on the edge of killing themselves. They are now always getting A's in every class and has a lot of fun in life. I may once in a while do magick to get money but I always try to help people.
Third: Messing with other people for your gain like with a love spell can mess up someones life. If you have tried everything to get them yourself then it's not meant to be. You can't just throw love spells onto people because you know you will never get married. If you just dated someone and they left you don't go and throw a love spell on them. It is not worth it and you will just regret it later on
Fourth: When you cast spells that mess with others free will you mess with their life. They could have saved the world from apocalypse but you went out of your way to mess up their life with your spell. Things are how they have to be. You may think it's unfair but you will get over it soon enough. Don't bother other people with things that happen to be selfish.
Fifth: What about sex spells? Sex spells can also ruin someones life. Do you have an STD? well if you do might want to remember that you are passing that on to another person. Also a persons beliefs are something you also have to take in. Some beliefs say you can't have sex until marriage and if you have sex with anyone but your mistress that is morally wrong.
That is my play on free will and magick. If anyone has a contradicting argument please reply so I can take that into what I have just said. I'll see you on SoM!
