Question If You Know Someone Did Something...and you wanted to get even...

Coaxing someone (by way of spellwork) to admit their guilt etc IMO isnt meddling at all..but if you are unsure how you feel about coaxing then why not try something in the "justice" area maybe... as for hexing ppl....LOL let me tell ya, if ANYONE is dumb enough to mess with my family the LAST thing you need to worry about is me hexing you BUT that doesnt mean I wouldnt do it..I'd do it in a heartbeat and not so much as bat an eye over it...I protect me and mine and if that means I need to hex you then so be it becuase not only would it be for us but it would be to protect others from suffering the same at the hands of the person in the future ya know....so all around IMO its not a bad thing

Interesting. The first thing I thought of was to report him to the police. Simple, direct and non-mystical intervention. No need to worry about spells, curses, evil thoughts, bad karma, god, or indigestion.

If you're comfortable working the spell and really want nothing more than to bring this peron into light, for the sole purpose of justice and not revenge, I think you'll be ok. Just be certain you are not pushing the spell in any one direction, especially in the way of revenge. Try a small divination to see if doing the spell at this time is right. Place a black and white stone in a bag, white is yes, black is no. Say a little prayer to the goddess/whomever you wish about your dilemia. Shake the bag, and pull one out. Whatever that says, is your signal as to whether or not you should continue.

if someone had brought harm on those I care about then I wouldn't hesitate to work a hex on them. I practice traditional Witchcraft, which is pre-Wiccan and hasn't got a history of beleif in the Wiccan Rede, which is a modern concept in Witchcraft. in the right situation, and worked by an experienced practitioner, I don't beleive that hexes make things worse.

i guess any curse or spell is out ya... but directing the person to tell the truth is more practical... afterall, its better to get the person to know his mistake and to own up... it will be good for u and him and everyone else involved...

It will be better if you tell God how bad you were hurt. God will be there for you. Don't take any chances for you to do any bad thing for the person who did you wrong. I believe God will make all wrong right. Just pray. Cursing is bad.

I think there's a slight misunderstanding with regards to the whole "power of three" thing. The return in threes is actually a guideline, how much actually comes back to you, depends on the chain reaction one sets off with magic. For me it is a simple choice of if the result is worth it. Being responsible for one's actions is the whole point of the rule of three. If you believe that your cause is just, and you're prepared to bear the consequences of your actions, then by all means do it.

Cast a mirror spell on the property damaged so that whoever did damage to it gets the same damage in return. It is not your doing but theirs that is being turned on them. It goes just a step beyond a protection spell. I a not wiccan, I am a beliver in choas. Everything has a reaction, and if you don't direct that reaction, you are allowing it to linger and hurt you more. Karma has already sent it into the ether with their action.

Wow! This is a dilemma. You do not want to harm anybody and only want these people to tell the truth. The question comes down to your definition of harm. If you cast this spell and these people tell the truth, are they not confessing to a crime? Intentioanlly burning down another's property is arson and is a punsihable offense. Additionally, these people, by confessing, open themselves up to civil reprecussions. Jail time and a civil lawsuit seem like "harm" to me. I understand that you are trying to find a way to remedy the situation, but no matter how you disguise your thought and no matter how much you try to convince yourself that your intentions are noble, you have to agree that your deepest, most fundamental desire in this situation is to "get even." If you already know in your heart that these people are responsible, then why is a truth spell necessary? If you already know, then why do you need to hear a confession? Is it for peace of mind? It cannot be for that becasue you already know the culprit. The only logical conclusion left is that you are driven by "revenge." You either want to humiliate them, get them into some type of legal trouble, or you want to have information on them to use against them later to prevent them from doing something (blackmail). Think about it like this; if you have to convince yourself that something is okay to do, it probably is not. If somethinig is harmless, you just know it. Doing something harmless is as natural as walking down the street or drinking a glass of water. Do you have to convince yourself that drinking a glass of water is harmless? If you have to convince youself that a particulart action is harmless, should that not set off a warning bell?
