bOne of the traditional rules of Witchcraft is the Rule of 3. This rule literally means that whatever is sent out in magical energy will be returned to the recipricant three-fold. There are many opinions on this rule and its actual existence.

Some say it is a warning not to place curses or hexes on others as the affects of these negative acts will come back on you three-fold. Others say it is not a law at all – If it were the case we would see only bad things happen to horrible people and only happiness and success for good people and we certainly cannot measure the affects of our actions by the number 3!

Being Wiccan  means this is a subject that I philosophise about a lot. I have concluded that I am quite sceptical about this rule. We hear and see bad people doing bad things to good people all the time and not only do we see them escape justice – they certainly do not get the bad effects of that three fold! (Literal or otherwise.)

That’s not to say that I would curse or hex someone – (If this is how we are applying the rule of 3) I am definitely a believer in Karma and my own personal ethics is to treat and respect all people the same way as I would want to be treated and respected as your actions and words will come back and bite you in the end – whether this be the next day, 10 years down the line or even in another life time!

I recently have suffered a bad case of credit card fraud with my online shop. Fortunately, I am insured so I have not at a loss financially! However, it upsets me to think that there are people out there who cheat and steal from others, just to get something for nothing.

Even though I am in this situation of helplessly knowing that I can never get justice against these individuals. (Past experience and research has taught me that the Police do not exactly come running in cases such as this.)  I get quite a lot of comfort out of knowing that Karma will get them in the end!

Whatever side of the three fold fence you fall on, I personally think that this rule is not a bad one to live by. If we all treated each other the way we would like an ought to be treated ourselves, perhaps our world would be a little kinder…

I am not Wiccan nor do I know anything about Witchcraft or the Occult but due to a lot of problems and bad luck in my life I communicated with a clairvoiant for quite a while and she seemed to get most of my characture/problems right and said she could make things not only better but exceedingly good, but things just got worse and I complained and she talked me round but in the end we had to give up and she gave me a full refund which she had promised from the beginning if things didnt improve dramatically.
Mostly I want things for my life and if i was angry/upset with others (which does happen sometimes) rather than wish them harm I would like it if they admitted their wrong and apologised and tried to put it right. One instance was a boyfriend i had who got me to take out a loan and then cleared off and stopped the loan payments into my bank account which made my already dire financial situation much worse. It would be a great comfort if he posted me a cheque for £5,000 but alas people like him dont do that.
I often lay awake worrying about my life and how sad it makes me feel that most of it has gone and i am not living the way I would like to, and there is very little pleasure or happiness or fullfillment or satisfaction in my life...

It is a sad fact that it is usually good people that are taken advantage of by unpleasant ones as we like to give people the benefit of doubt and we like to think everyone is as trustworthy as ourselves. It is a hard lesson when the people we trust the most let us down and use us for their own advantage. One of the comforts we can take from that is the lesson learnt: We will never let someone do that to us again!
I wish you strength and fortune in your future and hope you feel you have more control over your life. It is only you that can change your life for the better – only you have the power and control.
P.S - I would be vary wary of any clairvoyant who says they can change your life for the better – A clairvoyant’s role is to confirm what has been in the past and describe how the influences in your present may shape your future and make suggestions on what you should or shouldn’t do. Remember – only you can affect your own future – nobody else! Blessings xx
