#DONT HARM A WITCH IT RETURNS THREEFOLD SERIES#
When I begin teaching a new student, or introduce a new member into my coven, the first series of lessons we begin with involve settling on personal boundaries, morals, and ethics. This is most often thought of as happening out of anger and for justice or vengeance, though for people of questionable or poor moral and ethical character, that’s not necessarily the case. It’s fallen more into a folk practice for most, but it is still magic.Ĭursing is to use words, gestures, or magic to inflict harm on someone.
Many barns and homes are decorated with beautiful Hex signs for this purpose. In America, for people of German descent, especially in the eastern United States where the Pennsylvania Dutch settled many years ago, Hexing is seen as beneficial and protective in nature. Modern connotations of the word have taken hex to mean the same as curse - inflicting harm through magical means - but this is not true. It’s neutral and can mean either helpful or harmful magic being put to use. Hexing is to cast a spell or bewitch someone or something. Magic is the process of rousing or building up this energy, giving it purpose, and releasing it. Energy exists within all things – ourselves, plants, stones, colors, sounds, movements. Magic is the movement of natural energies (such as Personal Power) to create needed change. At face value, it might seem confusing, especially when put up against popular codes of behavior and ethics like the western concepts of Karma (because the original/eastern belief is something quite different), the Wiccan Rede, or the belief in Threefold Return.ĭefining the words is the best place to start. It continues to be one that sparks controversial discussion among people of different magical backgrounds and opinions. Even if you’ve only studied Witchcraft for a relatively short amount of time, you’ve probably come across this phrase in one form or another.
