WE make the choices, and so, we make our choices very carefully. If it does not manifest, then perhaps we have asked wrongly or do not have all the information. An example can be given here in the working of love spells. To manipulate a person into a relationship in which they have shown no interest developing is to try to negate that person' s right to free will. But Witches do cast love spells.
Self esteem is essential in correct magical working.
To bring a complete and balanced person into a relationship, is indeed to give a precious gift to another. To be capable of receiving love, we must be able to truly give love. The point here is that while Witches are free to influence energies to accomplish a purpose, they are not free to manipulate people. Another area of confusion can result from a too quick interpretation of the Rede. Witches are empowered individuals.
