Love magick?….
Valentine’s Day’s coming…
The other day, I was talking to a friend of mine who works in a New Age store. She told me that on that day, she’d seen the latest in an ongoing stream of people who come into the store looking for someone to cast a love spell ( intended to make someone in particular fall in love with them…)
As usual, she’d had to tell her visitor that spells like that did exist, but that they were unethical, and that no one in the shop would cast one….
So what’s up with that?
Well, magick connected with love (and, for that matter, lust…) is trcicky. There’s some love magick that’s ethical. There’s some that’s seriously wrong.
And here’s how you tell the difference…
The key point determining whether love magick is ethical or not is the question of respect for the Free Will of others.
If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you may realize that Free Will is very important to me ( Need an update? Chose to jump to “Free Will Rocks” and “Free Will Still Rocks! Magick and Free Will” in May of 2009 …or not…).
In magick in general, it’s questionable to cast spells/do energy work/do workings that interfere with another person’s Free Will/ability to chose their own path.
Even if you think the results would be good for them…
Even if what you’re working towards is someting you deserve…
It’s not right to interfere with the Free Will of others.
( The one exception is to limit the ability of someone to harm others-and this choice needs to be made conservatively, to apply the minimum limitation to Free Will..)
Free Will is particularly important in magick concerning love. Since energetically, what you put out is what you get back, if you use magick to compell a specific someone to sleep with you or fall in love with you, you’re setting up a relationship that’s a ticking time bomb and building up a mass of bad karma that will tend to boomerang back at you.
So what’s ethical magick in love?
Let’s try some examples:
- Cast a spell to call your perfect partner to you-good;
- Cast a spell to make Joe at work fall in love with you-bad;
- Do a working to make yourself attractive toothers-good;
- Do a working to drive Suzy mad with desire-bad:
Get the idea? The ethical options help a positive outcome along, but don’t enforce your will on others. The unethical magick involves controlling others and taking away their right to chose…
So, Valentine’s Day is on the way. And Love is all around…
Just be sure that you’re making good vibrations.
See you soon

Hi Angeli
Right on. I think that respect for a person’s Free Will is an essential part of Love. Without it, we’re not talking love, but something uglier-coercion.
So it’s ok to use magick to bring someone into your life who’d be good for you. It’s ok to use mgick to get noticed. But it’s not ok to use magick to try to force someone to love you.
And how would you know if they really did, or if it were just the magick talking?…

Hi Catherine,
Spells and potions….are just masking images of ugly…..You are right , uglier-coercion…leading to lost of dignity and character… A persons own true light must shine through , and be loved as is , or else it will not last at all.!

Hi Angeli
Thanks for commenting- you bring up some interesting points.
I don’t believe that all spells or potions are coercive or ugly in this area. A spell to attract your ideal partner when you might otherwise pass like 2 ships in the night seems quite reasonable to me. A spell that says ” I’m right here-consider me” when you otherwise are thought of as”one of the boys” also seems ok.
It’s because you’re not controlling people- you’re just sending out metaphysical “available” messages.
Where one crosses the line is magick that takes control of someone else. That’s evil – and if that doesn’t discourage a person, it also tends to send a lot of negative karma back at them.
Folks who want this kind of magick tend to have poor self-esteem- they either feel unloveable or insist on the world doing things their way. Either way, even if you get what you want, for most folks, it’s not really satisfying to be left wondering if they’re really loved or if it’s all a construct.
I only want real love, myself
