Love spell question

[vocis noctis]

If I would cast a lovespell on some girl, wouldn't I be taking her free will? Would it still be honest? I mean, if I cast one, do I just bring the deep feelings someone already has to the surface, or do I 'create new feelings'? Can a love spell have negative consequences even if it's coming from a good heart?

In my opinion, nothing good can come from a love spell, i believe that they shud never be cast. I beliee they take away a persons free will, if you a person loves you youll find out soon enough.

Just my opinion though.

Free will is over-rated. I could buy yours by the way.

Wouldn't you rather her love you, because, well-she loves you--instead of loving you, because you put a spell on her? Thats usualy the way I think of it. Love spells are never good.

I totally agree

[vocis noctis]

Let me explain. I do not intend to put a lovespell on her. But when I was thinking about lovespells in general, this question popped up.

I big aspect of spell casting is to only do it when asked or, if you have the individuals permission. That is, if you are not performing a spell on yourself. Why create a zombie when true love awaits you elsewhere?

I think there was a really good discussion on love spells in Rituals & Magics. Lots of good opinions there.

I would have to agree with the others on this one. To have someone you love love you is the greatest feeling, so many people are tempted to do this type of thing. However, in this case, the person doesn't really love you. They love you because you made them love you, and that has got to be a bad feeling.

So they're not really happy, you're not really happy. So it's obviously not good...

Don't do love spells you're too young. The consequences are too involved for you to even consider what they might be right now.

I pretty much think Love Spells are evil....but I will admit I was thinking about using one on my cat in the hope she would lose some of her fereal tendancies, but I realised I love her to bits, sharp claws and all :). Love Spells have a way of backfiring I have heard and do you really want some obsessed psycho on your hands? :smash:

Now remember when you were younger ?????
I do and as soon as someone came right out and told me not to do something I'd get right on it doing it anyway !! I still hate being told what I can and can't do!!


Maybe if you did not try casting a "Love Spell" just a see the real me type thing. A open your eyes and notice me for who I am type of spell? I do not know maybe it would be better!
You say you do not want anyone against there will so if they got to know the real you and fell in love naturally because of who you are not what you did it would last longer Just my 2 cents:)

People break up for a reason, whether it's because one was a jerk or because they aren't compatible anymore or even just because that was a lesson each had to learn in their life. Casting love spells on a person mucks about with this, as well as mucking about with their free will which is already a karmic kick in the rear.

Love spells *can* be good when they are done by two (voluntary) people who are in a relationship and want to communicate better or become more close. They can also work if you do one to attract whoever is your best mate at the time, without using a name or specific person but instead qualities the person should have.

Please everyone, do know I don't intend to cast one!!

[gunner]

"Please everyone, do know I don't intend to cast one!!"

yes, and now you know why you don't. but good luck finding the real thing, she's out there somewhere likely looking for you though neither of you know it yet.

I didn't want to cast one in the first place. I was just thinking about the subject!! I'm getting the feeling people have a hard time believing me while I have never lied to you.

We believe you... you asked our opinion on love spells... we told you. We're not bashing you, we're warning you.

"We believe you... you asked our opinion on love spells... we told you. We're not bashing you, we're warning you.

as bree said, we're not bashing you. the subject of "compelling spells" or "geases" is a touchy one for most witches, it seems to be almost the first thing that people ask or talk about when they know little about witches or the craft, (that's not meant for you, i'm talking about casual aquaintances.) given the very strong thread of individualism and free will that runs through paganism casting spells to force someone to do something against their nature is considered very bad form, to borrow an old british expression "just not done old boy!" and too there is the "threefold rule", "whatever you send out will return to you threefold" whether it is "blessings or curses or everfilled purses".

[vocis noctis]

ok, sorry if I was offended, I know you all told me this with the best intentions at hand. I didn't cast a love spell. And I won't. Promised.

:) I'm glad you made that decision, it's very wise.
