.

I lurked on a Wiccan newsgroup many years ago. If anyone asked for a love spell they were told it's unethical to try to control others and any love they received wouldn't be real so it's not the way to go about finding a loving relationship.

Right, right... But I know a few Wiccans and it's been my opinion that they all succumb to "greedy" motives sooner or later.
Prosperity spells (money) seem to be generally viewed as "benign", but to attract money to oneself, wouldn't that take money from another?
Binding spells to "protect" children from drugs and alcohol would be an attempt to control another, right?

While they may appear to be from a pure heart, I believe they are selfish.
They protect their children because they don't want to lose them... They attract money because they're lazy... You know what I mean?
