Laws of Magic


As taught in the Wiccan Church of Canada's Tuesday Night Class on Laws & Ethics.
Precise origin unknown.

  1. Whatever is done to the environment or to other beings in the environment, for whatever reasons, brings a similar effect on the person who does it, be that person trained or not.

  2. A person who is using magic must be more aware of karma than anyone else, the reason being that her acts, being consciously and willfully directed, are consequently more powerful than the acts of an untrained person.

  3. A person using magic judges the goodness or badness of her output, be it conscious or subconscious, on the basis of the universal laws, defined as the laws of nature. Social values are not trustworthy guides. Too many of them lead to acts contrary to the laws of nature.

  4. The effects of karma may not be immediately apparent -- they often take years or even several lifetimes to manifest fully. If your luck is consistently bad, you are probably acting contrary to the laws of nature, regardless of your intent.
