sharing spells, rituals etc

i'm NOT Wiccan for starters..LOL not by a long shot ;-) Secondly...after all the yrs I've been on my path I still to this very day, regardless of my growing, expanding, evolving etc etc feel sharing my personal spells to be wrong..HOWEVER I have done it..BUT it was in a forum of a small group of ppl I've known for many yrs now so that IMO is a bit different there were no strangers there... Yes absolutely to each his own.....but "spreading the word" seems a little odd to me as does believing that sharing spells will change the view of the naysayers and fearful ones....Sure your spells are easy, nobody is arguing that at all including me, but posting them and giving ppl the impression that its set and unchangable is a mistake IMO....not to mention the fact that regardless of how seemingly harmless your spells may be, in the wrong hands it could do some damage if one doesnt really know what the hell they are doing...if the intent is wrong whether knowingly or unknowingly (doesnt matter the energy is still gonna flow regardless) it could seriously blow up in someones face.....I've had Karma kick my a$$ in THE worst of ways...something I will NEVER forget....do I still mess with it, sure i do BUT I'm educated on how it all works and is intertwined and I'm aware of what could very well happen and am very willing to take that chance should I need to for me and mine...many ppl on here that read your spell threads WONT be aware, educated, in tune with the in's and out's and thats where my problem lies...

These people are all adults here and the information I have given is NOTHING they cannot find on other websites and books . In fact most websites post stuff ten times worse, mine are simply thought spells nothing worse, no invoking spirits, no harming others, no chanting. Just thought provoking. We could be here all day arguing the toss but I will accept that you have different views than I and so will wish you well on your path.

"These people are all adults here " actually no they arent.... of course we could go back and forth over it and get nowhere really....You feel the way you do about it as do I so the best bet IS just agree to disagree...

"I don't like sharing spells with people unless they are serious and aren't going to sit there and make voodoo dolls to get back at their boyfriend for being two hours late for dinner" LMFAO thats too funny! but at the same time thats so reality too ya know....some ppl would actually be dumb enough to try and pull something like that or something equally as stupid. "sharing spells is cool if the person is serious about it, otherwise, it's best to tell them to create their own" I agree....and your grammies words etc are something slightly different..chances are many of us have grammies or great grammies etc that did things like that and chances are they were passed to them by their grammies or parents or whatever just like it was to you....I do things that I've learned from friends who've learned them from their elders and chances are my kids will end up doing them and passing them on to their kids and so on...

I agree there. some of them are a bit naff, but I do have one that I've found really useful. I've never used one directly from it, but it's helped broaden my imagination a bit when constructing for myself. it's called The Element Encycopoedia of 5000 spells. looks completely fluffy. after recommendations from people who I know to actually have a clue what they're talking about, I bought a copy, and I'm glad I did.

thats actually a great book and has some of what was found in Herman Slaters Forumula etc books...which is a good thing cause my copies are old and worn and missing pages LOL..I actually bought a copy of that for the woman who introduced me to the Craft yrs ago and she's been on her path for a good 20+ yrs now...she really enjoyed it as well if I remember correctly..I thnk what I like about the Elemental book is that many of the spells in there are not only from around the world but also from days long since past....much unlike what you would find in many books out there...

I agree...helping others on a one on one (so to speak) basis is one thing, sharing certain spells with very close friends is also one thing..cause then you can give them the in's and out's, give them options, teach them/show them how to gear it to them and their needs etc etc which I have absolutely NO problem wiht at all I mean we all have to start somewhere ya know....its just the whole tossing random spells out there (in a large forum) without giving ppl even so much as a crash course in common sense procedures that I disagree with..many ppl arent aware that everything we do affects others whether we know it or not..so take for example a simple money spell....sure it may work for you, but HOW you may end up with that money may not be the best way at all....make sense?
