When we understand how powerful witchcraft and spellwork can be, we know that there is as much potentiality for causing harm as there is for healing. I don’t believe that ethics in this area (or any, really) are black and white or something that can be written in a post and passed right along to you. I think ethics are both nuanced and personal.
