These things are not decided for them. They must decide for themselves. What makes the modern witch, first and foremost, a kind of spiritual rebel.
The true secret of magic.
In the beginning, a brand-new novice witch is nearly always attracted to a magical practice by the spells.
Specifically (if we’re being honest) they are likely attracted by the idea of power.
Don’t judge them for that. That attraction is natural. It’s human nature to want control of your life.
If we’re being really honest, it’s even natural to occasionally want control over others (although this is obviously much more ethically problematic and controversial).
But what the experienced witch eventually learns—through trial, error, and frankly, a lot of pain—is that magic isn’t a tool of power.
