Why I Don't Provide Spells
-Grayraven

Magic and Spellcrafting are personal endeavors. Magic is nothing more than ritual where in magical energies are raised and directed.

When casting a spell it is important to understand that the trappings of ritual are there to promote 'ritual consciousness'. Without the proper mindset the energy raised to make your spell work will either diffuse or be mis-directed.

Because of this I think it is important to write one's own spells and ritual. To quote Lady Gwen Thompson, "To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme." This is an important piece to what I consider an otherwise superfluous document. When crafting the words for spells, doing them in rhyme, for most, requires more thought and care. Rhymes are also easier to remember. While it's fairly common to have a written spell or Book of Shadows in the magic circle, reading during a time of power is somewhat awkward and simply reciting verse is akin to reading thousands years old prayers in other religions -- where the prayer is spoken, but, not felt -- and certainly not of the speakers words.

Money Spells
Money spells are tricky because, unless very careful, you don't know the means by which that money will come. It can come in the form of a refund for something, a side job, or, perhaps, it may come as the result of a promotion to a position where somebody else was fired. Another plausible circumstance is that a relative may die leaving you a sum of money. That's a load of karmic guilt I wouldn't want to have.

Love Spells
The only really ethical love spell that one can cast is one which will make the caster more attractive or a spell to bring an unnamed person in to your life. When casting a spell towards a specific person you're intending to bend the will of a person. Not only is this against the Rede, but, it is also questionable as to whether the results are really wanted. I know that for me I would not want to be in a relationship with someone I cast a spell to draw to me because I would never know whether that relationship was the result of a spell or because they truly love me.
