What About Bad Witches?
Dear Anand,
One of my closest friends and I began experimenting all sorts of things. She told me she could perform spells and had other sort of powers like premonitions, and seeing the future, and I believed her because she was my best friend. She made me do spells with her, and showed me all different things. And I don’t know if she forced me to do something evil? All of a sudden she stopped being my friend and started to become very destructive. Now I want to know, does a bad witch want something from a good witch? I would love any answer you could give me.
Thank you,
-Elina
Dear Elina,
Although I cannot answer your exact personal scenario questions, I can say is that the God and Goddess know what is in your heart. If your intentions are good, I doubt you did anything evil. And what others do is inconsequential as long as you stay in the light. But only you will know in your heart. Maybe it is time for you to be alone or maybe it is time for you to find other new friends?
Maybe it’s time for you to grow and reach out to new people or maybe it is time for you to go inside and reflect? But again, only you will know in your heart.
If it troubles you, then stay away from people who don’t make you feel good about yourself due to their negative energy. This doesn’t mean all critical people, just the ones who are doing it out of insecurity or jealousy, not love or nurturing. The God and Goddess ultimately want us all to be happy well-adjusted children. Unfortunately, as you grow wiser in the Goddess you may find that many people are not all happy adjusted children. And everyone is at different levels of spiritual growth. This does not mean that they are bad or stupid; it just means they have different lessons to learn than you. It may make you feel lonely, but be strong and connect with the earth.
If you are really afraid of a friend doing bad things – like spells on you, keep away from them and visualize yourself surrounded with protective pink light. You might find more protection resources in Spiral Dance by Starhawk or one of Scott Cunningham’s books.
You say that you’d love any answer you I give you… Well love IS the answer. Love your friend and wish her well. Love yourself and stay away form anyone who would not wish you the same. And if you did something you don’t feel good about, reflect on it and make the resolve to do something extra good for someone or even yourself to make up for it. Forgiveness (of others and yourself) is divine.
Blessed Be.
~Anand
