Ethics and Moral Justifications for Spell Work

[catherineyronwode]

Hello, angelfromasia -- and welcome to the Lucky Mojo Forum.

1) Your question -- "Is this black magic" is asked often enough that it has its own thread, so i moved your post here. You can read the thread from the beginning and see what others have said. My response to the question is, "This is African-American folk magic." It is, in that sense, "black magic -- the magic of black people" -- just as the folk magic of the Irish-Americans could be called "white magic -- the magic of white people." But i don't think you meant the question with respect to notions of skin colour. I think you were asking if African American folk magic, such as an Attraction spell, is EVIL. The answer is, no, it is not.

2) Nope.

3) Yes. Your name is "angelfromasia." Now i don't know what part of Asia you are from, but surely, whether it is Mongolia, India, China, Japan, or Thailand, you know what folk magic is. It is domestic magic, the magic of the home practitioner. It is not the magic of priests and priestesses who keep great temples. It is the magic of grandmothers and grandfathers. And, as with all people, there are good grandmothers and bad ones. The aim or goal of the magic, not the culture of the people, is what makes the magic positive or negative.

4) Of course not. Now, there is a belief in some cultures that "asking for something" of God or of the Universe, however defined will cause God or the Universe, however defined, to punish you. I was not raised to believe this. I was raised Jewish and travel among Christians, and we believe that you can ask God to show you favour. The Psalms of the Bible are filled with such requests, and many of them were granted, as we know.

Frankly, i don't think the practice of folk magic of any kind is an option for people who worry that it could be "negative or damaging." Fearfulness like that is a mental stress that you simply do not need.

Good luck1

Hi everyone,

I hope you'll be able to help me.

I'm interested in building a committed relationship with someone who I have known for quite some time. A few things have happened in the past that I know make him see me less desirable, but I truly believe that there are some feelings there. We've been intimate, but just when things seem to be going in the right direction, he pulls back.

He has recently started seeing someone. I don't think it's very serious as it is early stages but I want the opportunity to explore what our relationship could be and to open his mind to us being together and moving on from the past.

I have dabbled in hoodoo before, but it didn't work for me. I'm not sure if that's because the spirits didn't want me and that person to work or because I was doing it incorrectly.

My question ultimate is, with this new situation: Does hoodoo go against a person's free will? or, will hoodoo only succeed if there's a degree of willingness on the part of the target to be drawn to you?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello Yamasliving,

Welcome to the Lucky Mojo forum. We're happy to have you here.

Hoodoo does not work against free will, in that it doesn't create zombie-like creatures out of spell targets. Hoodoo helps to advance feelings or situations as they exist, and can improve chances of realizing desired outcomes. It won't change a person's fundamental character or hard wiring, and it won't work if the goal is against the petitioner's best interest (as God, or Spirit if you will) is the ultimate arbiter.

This has been my experience, at least.

I hope this helps. Good luck with your spells.

The ethics of love and sex spells is both cultural and personal. There is certainly no "one size fits all" answer t the question of whether one should perform a love spell on another person.

Some follow the Folden Rule, others simply command what they want.

Some ask God or the Universe or their special deity to bring them the perfect mate, others ask for a series of sex partners without any form of matedness.

Finding a psychic reader or rootworker whose philosophy or methods of spell-casting are copacetic with your own in matters of sexuality and romance can be a matter of chance -- but you can improve your odds of finding a reader, spiritual coach, or occult helper who supports your choices is you read through their bios and check out what kind of practices they prefer.

I like the attitude here. I personally refuse to do dark magic, but it is good to see open discussion of it in a non-judgemental forum. I am new here and hope to stay a while to learn.

Hi Wonderwitch,

Welcome, look around. In Hoodoo there is no dark and light, there is justified and not justified. There is no karma, just cleansing. Everyone here can travel the path they travel, we hold no judgment of belief, and we are happy to give advice the best we can.

Best of Luck,
Mr. Christopher
