Witchcraft, an ancient and often misunderstood practice, is often associated with negative connotations and harmful intentions. However, it is important to distinguish between an ethical witch and an immoral witch, as their practices and beliefs vary greatly. An ethical witch, first and foremost, follows a code of moral conduct in their craft. They believe in the principles of harm none and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This means that they abstain from using their magical abilities to cause harm or manipulate others. Instead, ethical witches use their powers for healing, protection, and guidance.
Tina Goldstein was dedicated to her job as an Auror and it meant everything to her. Although she temporarily lost her job after defending Credence from his horrible mother (which was the right thing to do), she did everything in her power to get it back. She was diligent, focussed on her goal and her perseverance eventually paid off. When she found herself back in her dream position, she fully committed to it and didn’t look back. If dedication to career is something you admire, then we think Tina would be your role model. We reckon you’re someone that has already found their passion in life and are willing to do anything it takes to work towards achieving it. Whether that’s setting up your own business, snagging that latest promotion or pay rise, studying incredibly hard, or putting in hours of practice, you have your dream job in mind, and you’ll do anything to get it.
As for my fictional role models, I have had many over the years, but the one that I have followed the longest and to this day would have to be Batman. If you re the adventurous sort, not only do we think you would you admire her courage, but we think she would inspire you to push yourself out of your comfort zone and find something that truly excites you.
Instead, ethical witches use their powers for healing, protection, and guidance. They work with the natural elements, harnessing their energy for positive purposes. In contrast, an immoral witch may lack moral boundaries in their practice.
How a Role Model Can Change Your Life
At some point in our lives, we all look up to someone or aspire to be like someone in order to give us hope, motivation, moral standards and even to help unleash the potential each and every one of us has. That person could be one or both of your parents, a friend, a teacher, a coach, a religious figure (such as The Pope or Mother Teresa), a celebrity, etc. Maybe your role model is a character like Yoda from ‘Star Wars’ or Professor Xavier in ‘X-MEN’ or Batman? Someone does not have to be alive or dead or fictional or non-fictional to inspire change and good in this world. It is the messages that are conveyed and the change in others resulting from those messages along with the legacy being left behind when we die that will determine how we will go down in history.
My first major role models growing up were my parents. They taught me the difference between right and wrong, the importance of treating others (especially siblings) how I want to be treated and that they are my number one allies through thick and thin. Their caring and selfless nature has rubbed off on me as I constantly volunteer to help people and put others before myself. From them, I learned the value of hard work and determination and why pulling my weight is essential in a household. Further education has also been a priority in my family which enabled me to go to college, get an advanced degree and become a licensed professional. Good manners and hospitality have also been passed from generation to generation in my family and are a sign of respect towards others that I carry with me to this day. I’m very grateful that my parents set such a wonderful example and foundation to raise me to be the person that I am today.
As for my fictional role models, I have had many over the years, but the one that I have followed the longest and to this day would have to be Batman. From a very young age, I remember seeing the 1989 movie starring Michael Keaton at a drive-in theater in Illinois as well as watching the 1960s TV series featuring Adam West and seeing those ‘POW. ’ and ‘OOOOF. ’ images across the screen during fight scenes. I really admired the Batsuit, the Batmobile and the many gadgets The Caped Crusader used when fighting the bad guys. I observed how the citizens of Gotham along with the city police looked up to Batman and respected him and the part he played in the ongoing battle against crime. In addition, he encouraged people to follow the rules rather than engage in criminal or deceptive behavior. The example he set inspired me to obey the rules which strengthened my moral fiber and integrity.
As I got older, not only did I discover that being a vigilante was not only frowned upon but also illegal, I shifted my focus more towards the development of Bruce Wayne and what he had to go through personally, physically, psychologically and emotionally from the time he lost both of his parents to his transformation into The Dark Knight. Like me and my family, Bruce Wayne also valued knowledge and his intellect and ingenuity would be his greatest assets in his journey. He traveled the world to gain an understanding of criminals and trained his mind, body and spirit in order to fight injustice and give criminals a run for their money. Like Bruce, I also hope to travel the world one day (including Antarctica), but not to learn about criminals and how to fight them. While Bruce Wayne had a lot of money at his disposal, he did not have any superpowers or supernatural talents. This is one of the main reasons why I and many others around the world believe in Batman and what he stands for: you don’t need superpowers to be a hero and mind over muscle can win the fight. If you have the willpower, the discipline and the determination to see your endeavors through, you can succeed in anything you put your mind to. This is how Bruce Wayne became The World’s Greatest Detective.
I often think about and model Batman as I go about my day. For instance, Batman knows what is in his utility belt at all times. I know what is contained in my inventory at any given moment (wallet, keys, phone, etc. and their contents). In training, Bruce Wayne pushes himself harder and longer in order to face and defeat his enemies as Batman. I do a few more reps and/or add a little extra weight when working out to challenge myself as a little change in the short-term can have a big effect in the long-term. Batman devotes himself to an ideal and a cause greater than himself. I see that one person can make a difference and participate in organizations to serve humanity and make the world a better place. Finally, and most valuable of all, Batman does not use a gun or kill people. Why? Because the person that took his parents’ lives used a gun to kill them. I will not use a gun or kill someone (especially out of anger or revenge) on account of it would not make me any better than the person on the receiving end. It is compassion and forgiveness of those that do us wrong that will make us better than them.
As much as I would like to have others share in the same high levels of integrity and morality as me, unfortunately, this is only an ongoing uphill battle and I cannot make other people’s decisions for them. They are the ones that will choose whether or not they do the right thing when the situation calls for it. I will talk more about that in my next blog on relationships…
They may use their magical abilities to manipulate others, cause harm, or seek personal gain at the expense of others. This type of witch may engage in dark or black magic, which involves casting spells to bring harm or misfortune upon others. Immoral witches may also practice unethical forms of divination, such as invading someone's privacy or using their abilities for personal gain rather than serving the greater good. It is essential to understand that witchcraft, like any spiritual practice, can be used for good or ill. The intentions and actions of the practitioner determine whether they are an ethical or immoral witch. Those who adhere to a moral code and use their powers responsibly are ethical witches and contribute positively to their communities. On the other hand, immoral witches may cause harm and perpetuate negative stereotypes about witchcraft. In conclusion, the distinction between an ethical witch and an immoral witch lies in their moral compass and intentions. Ethical witches adhere to a code of conduct, using their abilities for healing and protection. They work with the natural elements and seek to bring positive change to the world. Conversely, an immoral witch lacks moral boundaries and may use their powers for personal gain or to cause harm. It is important to recognize and support those who use their magical abilities ethically, as they contribute to the practice of witchcraft in a positive and responsible manner..
