The laws of witchcraftUnlike most religions and beliefs witchcraft does not have a long list of rules which have to be adhered to, there are only two basic laws which must be followed and adhered to at all times. These two rules are known as the Wiccan rede and the three-fold law; these two principles hold what the witches define as ethic and moral behaviour within the practice of witchcraft. The three-fold law Many people will have heard the three-fold law put a different way, some people call it cause and effect, it literally means "what we reap, we will sow" and get back three times. This is thought to be the reasons why many witches of today are loathe to practice black magic as this would turn around and come back at them three-fold. The witches of today primarily belong to a group or coven called the Wiccan and this law and the Wiccan rede are strictly followed. The Wiccan rede The law of the Wiccan rede states that witches are free to do whatever they wish as long as no harm befalls themselves and others. Harm is defined as physical, mental and physic damage to themselves and others around them. For the majority of today's witches harming others is simply something that is unthinkable and as such only good or white magic spells are performed. The universe plays a big part in modern witchcraft and all things are thought to be connected to all others. All spells which are cast by the witch of today are directed towards a specific task and are only cast after a great deal of thought has been given to them and the outcome. One question that is often asked of the modern witch is while upholding this law are they then to take mistreatment from others without retaliating, the answer of course is no, witches will place a protection spell around themselves and their loved ones. The protection spell will then neutralize harmful energies back into the universe without doing harm, the witch then waits for justice to even out as what comes around goes around and therefore justice will take place. Code of ethics for healers Certain witches are pagan healers and as such, they are bound by a code of ethics which they must follow, the ethics are: * The primary obligation of the healer is to those they are healing. * Any knowledge gained during a consultation should be kept confidential. * Always be self critical and acknowledge your limitations. * Work in co-operation with other healers. * Always take into account the customs, values and beliefs of your client. * They must not act in any way that would bring the wicca community into disrepute. * If you feel ethically or morally compromised you have the right to refuse treatment. * The healer should seek help when treating with herbal treatments. |
