I have a friend who we will call "PERSON A" who gets abused/harrassed constantly by another person who we'll call "PERSON B", I told "PERSON A" that I could do something (spell/curse type of thing) to protect from "PERSON B"...and "PERSON A" agreed that I should do something...but I was wondering, what type of ramifications would there be for me...I haven't done anythng yet because I am worried about the ethics of it all...any thoughts? what the best way of going about this?
there's alot more to it...if you anything real constructive, feel free to email me...

From a magical standpoint, it's easier to put protectives around person A. You'll get more bang for the buck, so to speak, since you're dealing with a willing recipient, who may (consciously or subconsciously) take actions to supplement what you do. Not to mention, if you cast on an unwilling subject, it's a bit harder to make sure you've got the targetting right, and that it'll stick.
Ethically - if you're worried about it, chances are, you probably shouldn't do it. I would say that it depends on the exact details of the situation - certain cases certainly warrant intervention, whether you're casting on an unwilling recipient or not. One thing you might want to consider - if you go ahead with it - is the exact specifications of the spell. Something to prevent person B from causing *any* harm to *any* target is a lot more shady than preventing person B from harming person A.
From a practical standpoint - spell or not, pursue mundane options (reporting to police, etc.) If you do perform the spell, the actions will reinforce it. If you don't cast the spell - well, then you'll have taken appropriate mundane actions instead.
One way or the other, protecting people - no matter the method - is always appropriate, assuming reasonable measures are taken (ie, response is proportional to threat).

Many Wiccans or Pagan would say that it is not ethical to hex or curse someone else, but not all would agree.
Theoretically, if you perform magick that negatively affects another person, then you are subject to some negative consequences as a result. You may feel that the situation is severe enough that taking action with magick would be worth the consequences that may occur.
You might consider first exhausting your non-magickal options to get the person to stop harassing your friend -- reporting the harasser to the police, getting a restraining order, moving out of the house, going to a women's shelter etc etc.
Magickal options that might help include working a spell that will reflect the negative energy and abuse back at the person who is causing the problems.
You probably also should do a protection spell for your friend to shield her from her tormentor. If it applies, you might also do a house cleansing and ward the house against hostile energies and entities.
Good luck with the situation. I hope it can be resolved to a good end.

I have to agree with the above response: spell or no spell, mundane action needs to be taken. The spell might be a good supplement to that, and I should think the protection spell on person A would work out fine. Justw atch how you word it, and keep it focused on them and their well being, then it will be fine. Its a good idea though. I know if someone I cared about was being abused though, I wouldn't rely on justr a spell for their protection. I advise you don't either. Keep an eye out for them, if its real bad, get authorities involved, but use your better judgement and do something.

If you're worried about what will happen after you do a curse of sorts, don't do it. I believe that there is no rewards or punishments for your actions, only consequences. So, follow your gut. A protection spell for "Person A" could help, and then something like a possible binding towards "Person B" would be a lot...less...worry-ful?
But as said above, contacting local authorities wouldn't be a bad idea, either.

There is nothing wrong with working protection magick for your friend (with their permission). What is wrong is doing anything that will directly affect the will of another. So, doing anything to the other person, like spells/curses, would be wrong. If you are a Wiccan you need to take another look at the Rede and the Law of Three.

I'm not a Wiccan and I don't know much about it...but from what I understand, whatever you do comes back to you threefold. If you perform a good deed, it's returned to you times 3. If you do harm, that also returns to you times 3, even though you are protecting someone. So if you are willing to take that upon yourself to protect Person A, that's your choice. Please also remember, the credo "Do no harm." Perhaps you should consider other alternatives, such as legal consequences to this person's actions, or helping Person A to remove themselves from the situation.

They say anything bad you do to someone else with magic will come back to you three fold. Wouldn't it be safer in the long run to put a protection spell on your friend instead of a curse on their enemy? That way if it is true, you don't have to keep watchin over your shoulder for something bad to befall you?

yeah it is by all means ok for someone to take the law of three into thier own hands but you should not do the spell yourself, the reason for this is no harm has come to you from person b. person a needs to do the spell. any time some one needs a spell you should always have them do it for them selfs this way it is more personal and it will work better. you can be there for the spell to aid but have person a do it.

Yes it is OK in the protection of yourself or someone else. I would try this spell first it uses the person own bad actions to punish them
You well need:
A black candle
Black arts oil
black arts incense
On the night of Saturn at the hour of Saturn light your candle and incense:
repeat three times
I summon the spirits and powers that be,
come here and lend your strength to me.
As ye giveth, so shall be received by thee.
As my will so mote it be
Allow the candle to burn down,wrap the remains of the candle and incense and bury.

My approach would be to put a shield on Person A, not any sort of a binding on Person B.
"Harm None" does not equate to "Be a victim", but you have to consider the level of actual "threat" and a reasonable response that doesn't turn the individual being harmed into the aggressor.
Just my $0.02.
