black Magick. But there are various interpretations of the Rede, depending on but not exclusively to different trads. I was taught it as inclusive and not straight out exclusive. Beyond that there are grey area such as .mirror magick. And protective magic that includes those even beyond yourself. Pagans of all sorts were warriors. And some of the most interesting goddesses we have are warrior mother goddesses.

But like I said above there are a lot of trads and individual beliefs, which is one reason I love this path. Peace to you and yours from a pagan veteran. And my thoughts to Circle Sanctuary and Selena Fox with this announcement. They fought so many years for our recognition. I can imagine the range of emotions going through them today
