Spells
Hi and good day people!
Im back!
Christmas is getting near now and wanna greet you all a MERRY MERRY CHRIST-MAS…
Anyway, I really love to read some online spells but never tried of it because its something scary.
Scary in the sense that after casting it to someone whether its good or bad or not intentionally to harm people, the“RULE OF THREE” will follow next to haunt you!
What is “Rule of Three”?
The Rule of Three (also Three-fold Law or Law of Return) is a religious tenet held by some Wiccans. It states that whatever energy a person puts out into the world, be it positive or negative, will be returned to that person three times. Some subscribe to a variant of this law in which return is not necessarily threefold.
According to John Coughlin the Law posits “a literal reward or punishment tied to one’s actions, particularly when it comes to working magic”. The law is not a universal article of faith among Wiccans, and “there are many Wiccans, experienced and new alike, who view the Law of Return as an over-elaboration on the Wiccan Rede.” Some Wiccans believe that it is a modern innovation based on Christian morality.
The Rule of Three has been compared by Karl Lembke to other ethics of reciprocity, such as the concept of karma in Dharmic religions and the Christian edict, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matthew 7:12), also called the “Golden Rule.”
The Rule of Three has a possible prototype in a piece of Wiccan liturgy which first appeared in print in Gerald Gardner’s 1949 novel High Magic’s Aid:
‘Thou hast obeyed the Law. But mark well, when thou receivest good, so equally art bound to return good threefold.’ (For this is the joke in witchcraft, the witch knows, though the initiate does not, that she will get three times what she gave, so she does not strike hard.)
The first published reference to the Rule of Three as a general ethical principle may be from Raymond Buckland, in a 1968 article for Beyond magazine. The Rule of Three later features within a poem of 26 couplets titled “Rede of the Wiccae”, published by Gwen Thompson in 1975 in Green Egg vol. 8, no. 69 and attributed to her grandmother Adriana Porter. The threefold rule is referenced often by the neo-Wiccans of the Clan Mackenzie in the S.M. Stirling Emberverse novels.

Great post, Hershel! I’m loosely familiar with the Wiccan tradition, and far more familiar with the Dharmic traditions of India and SE Asia, particularly Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, and Kashmir Shavism. I agree that the Wiccan Rule of Three corresponds to the principle of karma. All variants of the Golden Rule (which appear in all religions) reflect the karmic principle that every action has a corresponding reaction.
Fascinating!
HI Ernie! How are you now? Thanks for the comment.
We filipinos believe in Karma. In bible, if im not mistaken, it stated that what you reap is what you sow.
Im curious, what are the things that makes you believe Dharmic traditions?
A blessed new year, hershel. Are you by any chance a practitioner?
Vere vere good
Hello Hershel,
Actually, the Rule of Three affects ALL actions, not just the magical ones. Wiccans accept that whatever we do, mundane or magical, will return to us. It’s irresponsible and immature to cast spells on people for no good reason, so you are very correct in understanding that the 3x Rule will be a consequence to such an action.
As for it being an over-elaboration on the Rede, that’s only if the Rede is misinterpreted in the first place, as is often the case. People searching for a moral code (which isn’t a bad thing) focus on the two words “Harm none” of the rede, forgetting that “rede” only means “advice”, not “law” and second, that the entire statement: “An it harm none, do what ye will” does NOT say anything about not doing harm. It says only that if an action commits no harm, Witches are free to perform it.
People who are conditioned to having their morality given to them in rules of “Don’t do this… Don’t do that…” are quick to give such an interpretation to the Wiccan Rede, but that’s incorrect. We don’t have laws and rules for morality that go any further than personal intention, will, and responsiblity. When this is said though, it’s usually people who DO have ‘moral rules’ with “don’t” in them who think we’re too loose.
The core code of Witchcraft is that each individual Witch/Wiccan is responsible for his or her own actions and the consequences of those actions. If you believe something is worth doing, do it, but accept the consequences, they’ll return to you. We just choose to put the consequences on the shoulders of the person performing an action, where it belongs, and not in the hands of a god who probably has nothing to do with it.
In Service,
Serpent
