When a person does Love Magick, do they not realize they are unwillingly making a person fall in love with them? That is not true love, that is fabricated love. If you do not want to unwillingly fall in love with someone, then why would you want to do that to another person? It is not right. Further more, Love Magick 'may be the most popular' but does that alone make it worthwhile to manipulate a person to believe they are in love with you? I find not. Now, this is just my opinion and none of you actually have to agree with me, but you may find most of what I say true. Let me tell you how you might (notice I said might) feel when that person 'falls in love with you'. You will feel empty. Why? Because all of the 'I love yous' are fake and the person doesn't really mean it. And second, guilty. Why? Because you know what you have done and cannot face the fact.
You know what I find funny? How a spirit can actully think it can control another spirit.
Again, this is an opinion and noone have to agree.
I agree with your opinion on love magick cast on a person to 'make them love you'. However, many people overlook the spells that send Love Energies into the universe, or spells that surround you with love.
Spells that send love into the universe, will take effect once those love energies have come back around to bring love to you, not a specific person.
Spells that surround you with love may give you an 'air' of love, or just envelope you in love, making you a magnet that attracts it.
Also, many forget that there are crystals and oils to help you attract love. Like Rose Quartz, it helps you attract and find new love. Rose oil helps attract love as well. Lavender and Jasmine oils are good to use as well.
I partially agree with you, I personally find the ethics of love magic an exceptionally tricky area to navigate. However I also find very few, if any, love spells actually manifest into a false love, most simply fade of their own accord after a relatively short amount of time and the actual logistics are often more limiting than the ethics.
I'm curious though as to how you'd find the ethics of a spell designed to present the necessary opportunities for love without the intent of controlling the other person? This is the direction that most real love magic (or at least the ones with a shot of any lasting effects) tend to go in, to help two people get along better and to help overcome obstacles between them.
(As a note to anyone reading this I do not practice love magic and please do not message me asking for either help with or to perform a spell as my answer will simply be that I can not.)
It's a logical and reasonable opinion, and I personally agree with most of the things you said.
Love magic includes more than one type of love spells ; sounds like you're talking about one sort of spell, which is basically caging the person. Let me share my opinion about this.
There are two types of love spells (keeping this general) one is a "true" love spell where the person attracts to him or herself unconditional love, the sort of love that is healing and lasting. This love, or energy, can be used to attract a good partner to you.
The other sort of love spells are only called so because of their use. they are used in relationships that are not going as well as one would like and they would like to turn things around. In a desperate attempt to keep the person from leaving them some people turn to these "love" spells. Now is this wrong? That is a question to which you will get a different answer to when you ask different people. Many will want to look at the situation.
These love spells can in fact be useful, in my opinion, but are by no means useful in actually keeping anyone and living happily ever after. What they do is "cage" in a person just long enough so that you can change whatever is wrong or heal the relationship after that the magick wears off and by then you should have healed whatever needed your attention so that you can share a healthy and happy relationship. If you were the person at fault then it would be wise to change whatever it is that caused the break up in the first place otherwise the magick will wear off and you will end up back where you started. If you re-do the magick then you will only soffocate the person, the person MIGHT still stay with you but it will be an unhealthy and possibly abusive relationship.
So depending on the situation BEFORE the break up, the situation during the break up a witch (or whoever you choose to help you in this) will surely determine if it is wise to use a love spell and what sort of love spell should also be used. There are some that are technically not love spells but work with relationships just to provide a window opportunity so that the other person will hear you out and want to give it another try and then there are magicks that can keep the person from leaving you so that you can have the time to work things out (no guarantees can be made when using magick).
Lets also get to karma's side about the story. I believe in karma. Karma is a universal teacher that helps keep things in balance including your own life. Say you spent a great deal of your life getting everything handed to you as a child and you grow up to be the same way, well karma might want to repair this little flaw in you by teaching you to get things on your own. Karma's lessons can be soft or really harsh and theres no telling how the lesson will show up. That lesson can come by gently by maybe finding someone who says something to you and opens your eyes so that you can be independent or it can be harsh and put you in a situation where no one will help you and you are left to do things for yourself.
Karma doesn't apply to just magick but every single action we do. Karma actually means "action". So using magick to forcefully keeping a person there is equal to kidnapping a person, tying them up and not letting them go. This is an abusive and controlling action so a lesson could be learning to respect and to know that some things are out of your control and you can't have it your way. This lesson, for example, could possibly come in a way where you are in a situation where you have no control and must learn to accept that.
I really think Love spells deals with the intention. I have spells to increase the love relationship with friend family or lover. Love magic can also be connected to divination to find one's true love..
Also oils for attraction can be used and seen as love magic. I have spells to open ones heart this does nto break someones will.
I believe if teh user in magic know how to take part in magic to keep from breaking someones will they will know what to do.Then again some people are so desprate they do not care about breaking someone elses will
