Given that I am an unabashed practitioner of the old Religion, (and for those of you that have a problem with that, I do have solution...it's two words long and they ain' t Happy Birthday) the question of ethics and the use of power is not much of a question. It is summed up very nicely in the following:
"Curses come home to roost."
But what about defense? Given that life is a learning and that in paganism, as I practice it, there is no good or evil, only good and better, what then? If you are perceiving, as I have, that someone is going out of their way to ill wish you, do you defend yourself?
Well, I don't know about anyone else out there in the Moonlight but I did.
Now two years later, I am looking at the end results. Pretty big. All of the people that had been ill wishing me have had a serious change in fortune and not for the better. All but one has gone on to a somewhat better situation having learned and moved on.
But then so have I.
Yesterday the door was blocked to the future. Letting the keys come out from under the curtain and just listening for the whispers from the Inner Realm brought some very fine things to light. Including what my Learning was.
You see, I had never done Warding before as a Solitaire. Never invoked the Power to protect myself in the Dark of the Moon. It worked but it wasn't clean.
There was someone very specific that I was thinking of and it came down on this person very, very hard. When I saw that and tried to undo it the Whisper was very loud and clear.
"What has been done cannot be undone...not by you."
Well, heck then, say I, served him right. He was,after all, intending that my life be total failure to gain control of it via money. Abusive to say the least, in so many ways beyond financial. Pretty nice justification,huh?
But then why am I conflicted about it? Why do I feel responsible for the outcome?
Because it wasn't clean. This person was firmly in mind at the Dark of the Moon when I set this Warding in motion.I even made note of it in my diary that this person was never going to get that all the stuff that they were sending out was coming back on them, threefold. It was a curse of my own and it came home to roost.
But then did it?
Yesterday I would have said so. Not today.
Ex Mea Manua In Tua Manua, Dea Eterna is not a bad place to be in.
Just yesterday the keys were under the curtain. Now there are so many being found. Including the biggest one:
No Fate Is Shared.
It is not mine or anyone else's to be responsible for the Fate of another, only my own. No fate is shared. That is in the hands of the Creator, when you live...when you die wh.at your learning is. You determined that before you were born
No Fate is shared. A Life may be shared with another but your Fate is your own.
So, Ward. yes, but never with anyone in mind. Don't stand there being a victim of someone else's madness. Know also that the Lesson will be there if you do, or you don't get protection from Her.
Know that drawing a line in the earth against deliberate and malicious harm is an act of love but know also, that you must make it so when you act. And if you can't act out of love, better not to act at all.
Ex Mea Manua, In Tua Manua.
