Oh good grief....the FIRST thing you learn as an apprentice in the Craft, (Wicca) is you don't EVER play with dark magic because it will return to you threefold. Negative energy, black majick, it's all the same energy. ( I have friends who are Wiccan and I've studied religions and metaphysics my whole life.) Nothing like a fool playing with forces beyond his ken. Pretty much most religions express the same idea, just different semantics. Makes me dislike him even more for thinking he has the "power" to control others. The creed of pagan/wiccan belief even states "If it harm none, do as yea will." The key words being "If it harm none..." Pretty much the equivalent of "Love your neighbor as yourself." OK, sorry...got on my soapbox. Stepping down now!
