Yeah well, that stems from the Wiccan belief.....There are plenty sugestions but I don't know your path and I don't want anybody to do something against that. Maybe some of the Wiccan on this site have better answers for you.

My point of view is this.....
Now-a-days Witches are mostly trying to change the popular image of the witch as
"wicked" to that of a "healer" - someone working to make a better world for all. If others see "negative" spells that focus on hate, then they are
liable to get the idea that witches are, indeed, self focused and worship evil.
This is a common perception these days and
I'd like to answer this by saying that few in the African Traditional Religions (over 50 million devotees) have little if any respect for Wiccans simply because of their constant campaigning that all they do is 'goodness and light', they have given away any power yothey may have had in older times.
So what if they think I worship evil. Do you honestly think their campaigns mean anything to me? They will believe whatever they want. Does it take any skin off my nose if they do? No! Laws are in place in civilized nations that protect most practitioners. Here in the US for example Satanists are protected and given the right to worship the 'Lord of Lies and Evil'. Truth be told the majority of avowed Satanists are about on par with Wiccans in temperment and actions.
By telling the world that Witches do not do any evil, the Wiccans tell the world, "We're sitting ducks - come and take your best shot!". No fear equals little to no respect. You have to have some fear to keep that element of surprise in tact which ensures you will be respected. If you know all about your enemy and know that they do not do any evil nor have any weapons, then you not only do not have to fear them but you do not have to respect them and you can do to them whatever you wish to them.
In my opinion, Wiccans give away their power by keeping this modern Rede in place and buying into the 'silly belief' (my opinion) of karma. Not all Witches buy into Karma and 3 Fold Rules nor are all Witches healers and it's a misguided attempt at white-washing the whole with a little bit of soap. They do not use Black Magic, I turn around and tell them, "I only use it to protect myself and mine from potential harm" which makes it more believable. Tell a Xian you, as a Witch/Wiccan ,do not do any Black Magic and they'll not believe you; tell them you only use it as a last resort, and it becomes far more believable.
Santeros and Santeras, Paleros and Paleras, Houngans, Manbos, Hoodoos, Root Workers, Curanderos and so on, do not get as much crap and backlash from their communities because there's always the chance they'll ask their Spirits to punish someone for interfering in their life. Wiccans think that's evil when it is not; it's simply a way of punishing someone for their unwanted transgressions against you.
Case-In-Point: A Wiccan mother who loses her children to social workers will not use any Magic to help her situation because she fears 'karmic fallout' or some other imagined punishment; yet the Santera whose children are taken by the social worker will ask her Ancestors and her Spiritguide on who to manipulate with Magic to get her children back.

Look folks, when your back is against the wall, you use Magic to help yourself and your situation.
Know how to protect yourself and if that includes using some good ol' Black Magic then so be it!

This is one of those "self fulfilling prophecies". In the world of magic you get just what you expect. So if you cast a spell expecting your life to get worse because of it, well that's what happens.

There are times when the universe will put you through your paces. Usually at times when you've stepped up to the plate and declared that you were ready for more responsibilities spritually, but then it's all part of the initiation process. Having to walk through the "abyss" to prove you're ready to help others and your own personal growth.

There is an old Klingon saying..... Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Quite often you will never have to do anything more than sit back and watch what is happening. You'll get your revenge and never have to lift a finger. It is usually better than anything you could have thought of too.

.....true, and there is another saying here in the south..."Give them enough rope and they hang themselves...

you said it!

......hey, and if everything else failes, ask the spirits for help. It's amazing what they can accomplish!

hello my name is meron n i think it is right don't get back at any one nature will but put a spell of love or something and ignore them it will drive them crazy don't you think

I almost didn't say anything on this but... This idea of Meron's just seems cruel. This is the kind of thing that most people think of when they think of witches and it is what several women were accused of back during the Inquisition.

I would hope that we as a race ( the human race) have grown past the need for pulling this type of "prank". Besides I wouldn't like it if anyone did this to me, so why would I want to put any other person through it.

...I had to read it a couple of times to get some sense out of that comment and April has a valid point. One does not play around like that, mainly because it could backfire and it is very childish....
