Do you agree with: “Do as you wilt, and harm none!”

It’s a famous reversal, or rephrasing, of the Golden Rule, that Aleister Crowley, an English polymath and eccentric, came up with when he formulated his ‘….Dawn’ movement in the last century. He is interesting reading for those into esoteric ideas.

That was supposedly the credo of the three...maiden, woman, and crone. It is part of the rule of three times three.

My son became a Wiccan VERY briefly when he was a teenager, and I was so freaked out I researched it VERY thoroughly. I read all the books by Scott Cunningham. Supposedly the THREE forms of the Goddess bring blessings or harm right back onto the Wiccan practitioner. In other words, if you do good works, the good supposedly returns to you multiplied by nine. If you do harm to anyone, or perform spells of ill wishing, that will also boomerang right back onto you nine times.

I think that if a person is messing around with things they don't fully understand, that the "harm" they bring might be to themselves.

Yes I do. Personally I’m ok with everyone provided that what they do doesn’t hurt anyone. Worship whatever makes you happy, do the things you like doing as long as it doesn’t do any harm.

Aleister Crowley was the inspiration for the evil Hjalmar Poelzig, played by Boris Karloff, in the '34 The Black Cat, with Bela Lugosi.

@JSul3 Oh thanks! He is behind so much of what modern witches think is witchcraft!

And it harm none, do as thou wilt makes sense to a large extent. Simply "do as thou wilt" is more the thing with the 1% celebrities and the like.
