Goddess of Groundhogs :
# Ya, I think this is why I bypassed wicca. The 3 fold 'law' and 
# the rede seemed like pagan versions of the xian 10 commandments 
# to me, and all the ritualization was too formal.

I asked my teachers about that and they told me (being liberal
Wiccans) that these were merely guidelines, and that those who
felt that they were supported by the gods in their activities
had no restrictions whatsoever. the Rede was Good Policy, but
not some kind of absolute restraint.

# I'm not a rigid person. I couldn't have rigid beliefs.

most of the Wiccans I've met didn't.
they were practical witches without dogmatic adherence.

# That said, a love spell, because of it's nature, 
# shouldn't/wouldn't fit into wiccan practice simply 
# because of the 'harm' it 'may' cause. 

shouldn't? your call (as a practitioner), where I stand.
wouldn't? that depends on the Wiccan. there is no hard
and fast restriction from it, and no litmus within the
general Wiccan community proscribing it, though there
are quite a few who would advise against it, perhaps as
you have done here.
