Hi, pornies! How are you today? Chances are,
when I publish this, I still have no internet (yeah, I just got inspired and
I’m writing right after doing last entry,) but I hope you are doing better.
I’ve been thinking a lot about something these days, and I thought about
sharing it here and hear whatever you think on the matter: The in/famous
Threefold Law.
No matter your background and how you came in
contact with Paganism and/or Witchcraft, you certainly heard of it, most likely
in a Wiccan past most of us seem to share, but just in case: It says that
whatever you do will return thrice to you, so you better be a nice, good,
behaved human being.
I know many of you do not hold unto this
concept and others claim there is no base, that it constricts and limits our
practice and our Craft, that it prevents us from tapping into our true
potential for making us work based on the fear of what could come afterwards,
and so on.
What do I think about it? It makes sense,
honestly, because why would I expect something good to happen to me when I’ve
done nothing but harmful magic or mundane, muggle actions? There’s this crazy
thing called karma, which means that every action gets a reaction. You are
good, you get good; you are bad, you get bad. The threefold law works that way
for me.
Now, I’m totally into justice and social
change. I cannot stand people harming others, and I don’t blink when I have to
get my tools out. If all mundane ways of acting have been used with little or
no positive result, and if my oracles and gut tell me I have to act, be sure I
do it, and that’s when I hold onto the threefold law the most: I ask for those
who meant and did harm to get thrice as they did.
The same happens when I’m on opposite situations.
If I’m in need, if I get a nice present, someone does me a favor because they
wanted to, or they help me when I really need a hand, then I also ask the
universe to return their kindness triplicated. I’ve been in really hard
situations, now knowing whatever I will do in those moments, but when someone
happens to be there and offers a hand I don’t think I before blessing them (in
the silence of my mind, because, you know, saying something witchy can freak
some people out. Shocking, I found it.)
The thing is that I always keep the threefold
law in mind when working, especially in those two cases. Of course I don’t
expect anyone to do as I do, but I like them to consider the effect of their
actions and find a limit. Being a witch makes me feel empowered, in control,
but it doesn’t mean I can do as I please whenever I fancy doing it (not that a
witch should think they can, mind you.) For me, this is my limit, something I keep from my Wiccan past and that will
probably keep for a while.
However, I also what to know about you. What do you think about the matter? Do you practice it? Why? Let me know in the comments, and see you next day. ^^
