WOTC Extra – Magick for Others
If you make your magickal activities known, others will come to you and ask for spells to be performed. You will have to make a decision whether or not to do the magic for them, and this decision must be based upon a few factors.
There is only one hard and fast rule when it comes to working magic for others: if it feels good, do it. If not, don’t.
People can be quite cagey when asking for magic to be performed. Often they’ll color their explanations, or openly lie, to convince you to work.
Even good friends may fail to see the truth in some matters, or might blow one incident out of proportion. Based on such evidence, you might well tackle a problem magically that doesn’t even exist, thereby wasting your time and energy.
People will also want you to accomplish something by magic that they could do themselves if they rolled up their sleeves and went to work.
With all these unsaid thoughts, hidden truths, lies, and deception, what can you do?
In magic, it is best to perform an act of divination to get some answers.
