Moon's Daughter,
I still do not have a clear enough understanding on your religion any better than I did when we started. I do not think these e-mails are being very effective in my understanding of your views. You have told me just the basics, but you have not given me any answers to the questions as if they were in "what if" form (i.e. What if two pagans are enemys and they cast spells on each other?) Other than that I have nothing more to know about your religion.
If you have any questions for me, then ask.
Sincerely,
Ian

Date: Monday, January 04, 1999 7:40 PMwell, you've not asked a what if question, other than the one about two gods fighting, which I answered twice.
As for what happens if two pagan witches are "enemies" and they cast spells on each other, well, that would depend on the witches. For the most part, witches don't do that, no matter the provocation. One thing that most pagans believe in is Karma, and that pretty much means that what goes around, comes around. In other words, if a person casts a harmful spell, the energy that they put out will come around again, usually multiplied, and end up hitting them. I personally don't know anyone who is willing to risk such a thing. I know I'm not. Among my circle of friends, magick is rarely used at all, and when it is, it's used for things such as protection against said "negitive energy", healing, and occasionally, certain forms of divination.
Anyway, back to the "what if"...
I would suppose that, if their protections aren't sufficient to prevent the effects of the "bad" spells from harming them, they would be harmed. But as I said, I don't know anyone who would cast such a spell, nor anyone who was the target of such a thing, so I honestly don't know the answer with any certainty.
And now back to my beliefs... what part of the things that I've told you already are you having a hard time understanding? I've answered the questions you've asked to the best of my abilities, if there's more you'd like to know, and you are able to leave off the mocking tone you've used in previous letters, I would be happy to try to answer them again.
Blessings
Moon's Daughter

Moon's Daughter,
I can't recall ever using a mocking tone, and if I did I apologize for it, but even if I were how can you tell? It is called READING e-mail. Not listening. I would just like to make that clear (that was not said in a mocking tone, I was just clarifying something). I don't have any quesitons that would enhance my thinking about what you believe in. There is nothing more that I can learn from you that I don't already know from common sense.
That is all I have to say.
Sincerely,
Ian

The final letter from "Ian" was quite clearly (at least to me) a dismissal, and so I have decided to resist any further urge to continue.
