While an interesting read, its a rather harsh rending of magic and its uses, it reeks of disdain and withering contempt for the homier side of magic ... its small uses and values (lets leave aside the twits that hope to use it for fame and fortune) its beauty and presence in everyday. According to the author it is drivel until given into the hands of men and the light of truth... it is taken from the everyday and given onto the scholars as the only ones worthy of it. This a shame and a stance I have long fought against ... magic does belong in the everyday life as opposed to some dusty old tome set aside for a hidden elitest group. The necromancers he speaks of are the mediums and spiritualist reaching beyound the human veil, using a gift that is a human birth right, one that many of us have come to accept. And the enchanters?... well are these simply not the hearth healers, the bards and the alchemists? a rank for those that would change the world for a better place. Its no small surprise that I believe in magic and would also manipulate it if need be, but it is the magic of the world, of science, of belief of creating changes with my will and skill, and sometimes it is magic that comes from something greater then I am ... I don't scoff at it nor belittle it for the fact that a young wife would hope to use it a surely as a high ranking lodge-certified ceremonialist would. ANYways ...
As for the 3 fold law... its something I've run around my head a few times over the years. In fact we have a discussion on it in here and I've discussed it over many coffees with pagans that credit it and those that don't. I believe that if your going to believe in 3 fold return you had best choice your actions wisely or cover your hinny really well, lol If you don't believe in it then I suggest you keep your eyes open anyways, because things do have a way of coming back around for balance.
As for love spells... seriously. I think they are a no-no and are doomed from conception. I don't abide with messing with others free-will in such a manner. And if I or someone else thought they just had to have one no matter what then I think a trip to the doctor is order, because there is more wrong then being lovelorn or lonely. Anyone who would consider it okay to subvert another's will or choice through the use of magic, herbs or otherwise for self serving purposes is a tad twisted and needs help.
