Magick, spells, curses, and psychic attack techniques in the world of the witch or any other magickal being for that matter have become every day practice and something that somehow is not even noticed anymore. You merely deal with it when it comes your way, a smudging here, a cleansing there, a shielding somewhere else have become our tools of daily living.

What about those neophytes or onlookers who know nothing of any of these secrets, who become hapless victims of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Bad Luck? Providence? The Goddess's Will? I don't think so. In my opinion we have a responsibility to educate those who want to listen so that they may become more adept at using skills which they have long forgotten. The love/hate relationship between sharing secrets and not sharing is explored here. Workarounds for that irritating curse/cleansing and why (or why not) to use them.
