Éowyn   ‘A sword rang as it was drawn. “Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may.”’ I painted this back in November 2017, on the kind request of Will o' Wisps for John Howe’s visit to AthensCon 2017. I had the good fortune to meet him there and give him a print of it. He had very kind words about it, leaving me on cloud nine, because Howe is one of my earliest art heroes. The Lord of the Rings has very few women characters in it, something that has been the point of criticism almost from its publication in the 50s. It might be for this reason that Éowyn stood out for me, but also because I was moved by how much understanding Tolkien showed for her situation. When she wants to go to war, she is dissuaded by Aragorn, and is rightly bitter about it: ‘She answered: "All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death." "What do you fear, lady?" he asked. "A cage," she said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”’ Tolkien gave Éowyn a voice, and not only that, but also a chance to prove her valour and to change the course of the history of Middle Earth as no one else but her could have. He wrote little of women, it’s true. The little he did write, though, was with deep humanity.

Ethics of Witchcraft

Before I start, I’d like to say this is entirely my ethics in relation to witchcraft. I’m not out here to tell other people off for what they do, left-hand path is valid, cursing is valid, you’re all valid.

I’m drawing the line at death curses though, no murdering people, it’s impolite.

1. Cursing

I’m personally not too good with curses. I’ve seen firsthand what happens when some overzealous ass with too much anger and too little sense goes after someone with a curse. In my case, some of my students were cursed to continuously suffer burns, which translated to real life pain, by someone who will remain unnamed yet hated for all eternity.

You know what you did.

All binding and screaming aside, I don’t curse people because in most cases the level of trouble I’d have to go to isn’t worth it, and also because I just think I’d regret it. I don’t like hurting people, unless they hurt the people I’m protecting, in which case chances are I’ll bind them.

I try to be a role model, but I’m worried one day I’ll break my own morals.

2. Binding

Sometimes I need to bind people, and it can be hard to make that choice, but in the end I don’t regret it. Hurting the people I’ve decided to protect is a surefire way to get some stuff sent your way, one day I’ll probably snap and curse someone, I’m not going to lie about that kind of thing. They’ll pick the wrong friend or the wrong type of curse and I’ll go off.

For now though, binding is my go-to response for curses. Get rid of the curse, bind them from harming people, it’s simple and easy if you have some yarn for knot magic but you can use whatever you want for it.

Binding people from harming others is something I think is reasonable, and it’s as far as I’ll go.

3. Fighting

I am by no means a pacifist, as you can probably guess by my energy weapon post and the fact I’ve already performed a binding on someone. In a way fighting is an important part of me being a witch. If I didn’t fight, a lot of entities would still be stalking students and friends alike.

To me fighting is a matter of choosing your battles, knowing when you need to use diplomacy versus knowing when you have to be the one to throw an astral punch. Witches have to probably fight more often than normal people, simply because we have a lot more contact with critters who aren’t quite civilised, or if they are civilised it’s in a different way then we’d like.

Fighting for safety, freedom, and the people you care about is one of the most important things you can do.

4. Love Spells

Here’s something interesting to know about me, I have a firm set of values and a list of things important to me. At the top of that list is Freedom, nothing has any meaning to me without freedom. As an old Michael Grant book that taught me for the first time what it truly meant to sacrifice everything for freedom asked me. Is it more important to be free or to be happy?

So it probably therefore won’t surprise you all that have a firm belief that love spells are worse than curses. They strip you of your free will by taking control of your emotions in the worst possible way. They’ll make you sacrifice everything for someone without it truly being you in control. Unlike curses, I know I will not use a love spell under any circumstances.

I don’t trust people who use love spells, I will never use a love spell, and I sure as hell will never let someone use one on me.

5. More On Free Will

I have immense respect for people who just get rid of parasites from people, who chaotic good it up and remove demons or what have you without permission. I think I need to be friends with a few more people like that.

For the simple reason I don’t, I figure if I get rid of the parasite they’ll go and find more, or worse yet curse me as a result. So I leave them go, I always hope they come to their senses but, I’m not happy about it.

On the other hand if the parasite attacks me, I prioritise myself and kill it. I don’t care what happens, it’s my choice if I let it hurt me or not, and given I have enough firepower to get most anything coming my way. The parasite is dead.

I won’t follow someone’s wishes if it means I’ll end up hurt, but I do try to let them decide for themselves.
