Consent in Witchcraft

I feel like a lot of people may need to hear this.

As the cold months come around, I'm beginning to see more and more of a particular kind of magic being encouraged: love magic. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good love spell - when it's for self-love, or generally inviting/invoking love into your life, helping someone else love themselves, things like that.

But do you know what I don't want to see? People casting love spells on other people without their consent. We all complain (especially other AFAB people) how annoying it is when people don't take no as an answer, when they follow us home, when they catcall us from across the street. What's the difference between someone incessantly flirting with you when you've said no and someone casting a love spell on you without your consent?

Witchcraft is a tool. It's not an answer to every single problem you have in your life. If you're going to use magic, please use it in a way that doesn't violate consent. Even if you think they like you back, please don't try to manifest someones love. You deserve to be loved by someone because they want to, not because you've influenced them to.

As always, be safe everyone, and blessed be <3

Dear Budding Psychics, Mediums, Divinators, and Everyone Else Going Around Telling Non-Witches That They're Secretly Witches During Readings,

STOP.

Being a witch is not a secret superpower that has to be unearthed. It is not an inherited genetic marker that magically manifests at a certain point in a person's life.

Being a witch is a choice that a person must make for themselves. They cannot be INFORMED that they are a witch if they have not previously made this choice of their own volition. You don't get to TELL people that they're witches. That is their decision to make.

It's not something you can read in a palm. It's not something you can see in cards or tea leaves or a psychic vision. It's not something you can TEST for arbitrarily.

You don't get to tell someone they're a car mechanic if they aren't. You don't get to tell someone they're in a coven if they haven't taken vows. You don't get to decide for someone whether or not they're a witch.

(Apparently, this is a new "thing" among novices, particularly those of school age, this idea of doing a reading for someone and "determining" that the client is a witch, without the person having ever made that choice for themselves. Sure, it might spark interest and bring them to the community looking for more information, but the idea of being able to designate or "tell" other people that they're witches, independent of their own choices, needs to be squashed.)

Even if you have reason to believe that someone is secretly a witch, it is Very Poor Form to inquire directly, if they haven't chosen to share. Plenty of practitioners have Very Good Reasons for keeping their practice under wraps. If you want to make a private inquiry, that's fine. Just be prepared that you might receive a denial, no matter how sure you are. If the answer is no, that's it. Don't invade people's privacy, especially if you live in an area where being publicly labeled as a witch might be unsafe.

I know we like to say that witchcraft doesn't have universal rules, but there ARE overarching codes of conduct. And one of them is that you do NOT out someone as a witch without their permission. Ever. Because you do not know what the repercussions might be for that person and you may be placing them in danger without knowing it.

If someone decides to be a witch or to live openly as such, that is their decision to make and theirs alone. And if they choose not to be, this must likewise be respected. You don't get to make that decision for them, just as you wouldn't want anyone else making that decision for you.
