Megan Black | Witchcraft, Paganism, and Mental Health || You asked, I answered! -- Q&A [CC] @RoundtheCauldron | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
I asked on social media for your questions on mental health, witchcraft, and paganism. In this episode, I answer those questions and give my perspective. This episode got a little heavy for me at certain points, so it may be heavy for you sometimes, too. However, mental health is such an important topic and I really wanted to tackle this head on.

![Ethical Witchcraft || Consent, Curses, and One Witchs Thoughts [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pVmys_fGFa8/hqdefault.jpg "Ethical Witchcraft || Consent, Curses, and One Witchs Thoughts [CC]
Ethics within witchcraft arent really separate from our everyday ethics, but there are special considerations I take when casting spells on or for other people. There may even be hidden consequences of actions taken with good intentions. In any case, these are just my own thoughts from my personal experience.
How do you view ethics in witchcraft? Let me know below!

I was first introduced to the Witchs Pyramid through Dorothy Morrisons book The Craft: A Witchs Book of Shadows. It isnt something that I think every witch needs to follow, but I do believe these four points can give any witch something to think about.
