Is there such thing as ethical spell casting?
I repeatedly read people wrote about how they do not want to mess with other people's free will (ie. love spell) and I found this to be in conflict with their (our) daily behaviours. We persuade, seduce, entice people daily to bend and fulfill our desires by psychological means, consciously or unconsciously. If seen from this particular perspective, I honestly see nothing wrong with bend over/coercive spell for example (IMG:style_emoticons/default/8.gif)

If the universe truely only contains so much energy (though incomprehenisble that may be) and energy can not be created or destroyed then it can only be modified and recollibrated to differing phases of matter. Drawing down from this concept of a limmited amount energy contained within a bubble of existance we call our universe, we live within the confines of what amounts to an unbelievably vast snow globe whose liquid and snow flakes affects both macro and micro levels. And by living within this universe we interact with it in our current state of matter. Thus exerting any amount of change in one's environment creates a ripple affect in which energy becomes displaced, (as if we each shake this univseral snow globe with each action we take). While the actual impact one is capable of generating may be limmited to only affecting their direct environment it still displaces energy. If this is true than any action, mundane, or magickal causes energy to be displaced. This leads to a ripple affect that can reach outside one's own environment and effect the universe beyond them. In other words the butterfly affect, or chaos theory.

The fact that "as above so below" seems to be a reoccuring theme in our apperently dualistic reallity tells me that any action we take, no matter how subtle, carries its own momentum that affects our surroundings. If every action carries its own equal and opposite reaction then even something that works on a level subtle as cerimonial magick can generate profound changes. But the catch is that no matter what action one takes, regardless if one's intentions of good or ill, what they do will produce a reaction. Sense, to me, "good" and "evil" are illogical concepts, we do not do good or evil things. We do responsible and irresponsible things. For each action, our intentions may be good or evil but the action may be still be a responible one (thought out and planned) or irresponsible (impulsive and reckless). "Good or evil" really have no barring on how well thought out or reckless our actions may or may not be. Our intentions/motives may need to be catagorically "moral" to justify the actions we take but the affects of the actions we take are not good or bad and anything we do, no matter how minute, can have both "good" and "bad" consequences.

So the trick is to use magick responsibly and accepting of the notion that all action carries its own equal and opposite reaction. Knowing this we also know that what ever we do magickally might do good for us or others but if so it will generate negative results somewhere else in the universe (there is only so much energy therefore all action displaces energy such that where we add/enhance in our enviroments we draw energy from somewhere else and that source might be affected negatively and visa versa.)

And through all my stammering I think my main point is that unethical magick is not magick that is done through good or bad intentions but magick done irresponsibly, without regard for consequences or out of pure, reckless, impuslive, emotional desires and motives.
