Is this considered "wrong" or "bad"?

[andrewanteater]

Basically, I'd like a spell to end someone's suffering (yes, that likely means killing them). I don't like to use the words "killing" or "death" because those have evil, negative connotations to me and many others. What I'd want to accomplish is not negative at all. It's just that I know someone who is suffering and they have expressed to me that there's not any chance almost of their life getting any better and they wished they could die (or be somewhere where they won't suffer) but they don't want to commit suicide. I wouldn't do anything like this without consenting them first though, I'm not like that. So is there a spell that will do a peaceful exit?

If this is really the wrong route to take, and there's honestly a way to make their life better (though I doubt anything can really do that), then what should I do?

This is a dark path to take.You are ending someones life,regardless.They might not want to commit suicide because they want to see the light in the end of the tunnel.Just because their life is bad doesn't mean it won't get better.Although I don't think it is too late for you to leave the path you taken and follow the light.I know you had good intentions,I understand,but you where doing it all wrong.People's lives can't just end because you think their life won't get any better.Comfort them and bring light into their life.I know you didn't mean to do bad,but never think it won't get better.

Blessed Be.

I agree with whisperingMaiden. That is a very dark path, whether you meant to be on it or not. I'm not someone who goes around telling people what to do, but just remember everything you cast comes back to you threefold. you could end up hurting yourself too if you try to do a spell like that. I would comfort the person, and show them how there is peace all around them, if only they know how to look. For example, taking a walk in the woods. The Goddess is everywhere, sometimes you just have to look for her. Instead of doing the spell you had in mind, maybe do a healing spell for your friend.

Okay well don't get mad or freak out or anything but I lied about the friend part... I was going to use the spell on myself if possible. I've been to counseling, taken medications, been hospitalized, nothing seems to work. I really just want things to be good but I know they won't be. What kind of spell can I use then?

I am guessing that you are a young person. As someone who has been around longer (probably MUCH longer, but let's not get into that ), I can look back on hard times of my life and remember feeling just as you do. My first instinct, when you were talking about your "friend" is that the idea was a bad one on several counts 1) it violates the Rede, if you're following that, as you would be doing harm to your friend, 2) as someone else mentioned, you are calling down all kinds of bad karma on your head, if you believe in the Rule of Three and 3) you would be denying this person the opportunity to learn whatever lesson s/he is supposed to be learning from his life situation. Given that this is actually YOU we're talking about, 1) and 3) still apply.

Are you firmly on some type of spiritual path? Do you have a deity or deities that you can call on to guide you through this? Things can get better, and you don't have to feel that you are alone. If you have that, then you have the basis for the magickal workings that you are asking about. If not, consider spending some time researching and studying, reaching out to find the Creator God and Goddess in your life. I will leave advice about what type of spells and their details to someone more experienced in that respect.

Blessed be!

Do you have any friends or family you could talk to? I have a best friend who is somewhat extremely similar to this, and I find that my persuasion and 'finding le bright side' skills have improved. When she has someone to talk to, she isn't spending her time drinking, cutting, and hating herself.And the worst part is, she is my best friend, and my only friend, so I feel inclined to do everything I can for her and any others likewise. When you are talking to someone, you aren't thinking about how terrible your life is.

Like I said, try a healing spell, or try meditating. There are also a lot of support groups (physical as well as virtual ones) that you could join, and talk to other people who are going through the same thing you are. There are some healing spells on this website, or you could try writing your own. One thing I find is that writing them myself is a lot better because it's personalized to my needs. But if you feel like you can't/aren't ready to do that, just look one up. Best of luck, and keep in touch
