Spell casting is part of some, but by no means all, Witches activities. Most spells are carried out with
the purpose of changing someone’s life for the better or sending healing energies to others. For
example, love magick could, if you wish to bring love into your life, be focused on increasing the love
in the world, thereby attracting love in its many forms, and not just romance. More specifically, you
may wish to attract one special person, to deepen an existing relationship or bring back a straying
partner. For this, however, you would need to build into the ritual a proviso that this happening should
be right for that person as well as for yourself.
Modern witchcraft is all too aware of the need not to infringe on the free will of others. As I have
mentioned, binding or banishing spells work by lessening a negative influence or by protecting
potential victims, rather than by attacking a person, however destructive they may be.
