Moral Dilemma, is it ever ok do lean to the dark side?

OK, to sum it up, there is a manager at work who has been harassing me and several of my friends. I find myself filled with anger towards this person, and not just over her treatment of me, but moreso over her treatment of the people I care about. My man works for the same company, under different management. and my good friend and fellow practitioner is also directly above me in the chain of command.

If it were a case of where she was just following company policy, I'd say OK, those are the rules and if you break them it's your own fault. The problem is that there is no rule. It seems like there are a few people -- all of whom were there before she was and have seniority in the company -- that she is gunning for. It's aggressive and malicious, but very subtle.

I want to do a working to counter her infulence in the office on behalf of myself and my friends, but I find that I am so angry I am having a real hard time keeping the energy clean. I did one binding in the past, that worked beautifully and had neutral and reflective energy, but I was in a different headspace when dealing with that person. This woman has me so worked up that I am having a hard time sleeping at night on the days she messes with one of us. I don't normally hold grudges, but I find myself fighting the urge to flat out hex her.

My question, I guess, is twofold:

1. If you end up pulling the energy from dark emotions like anger into a binding designed to protect others and yourself by reflecting someone's intentions back on them, is it polluted by the dark origin of the energy, or does spinning the energy into a positive purpose purify it?

2. Does anyone have suggestions for a binding ritual that would help me to focus negative energy in a more positive direction?

Just wanted to follow up on this...I focused on just moving her...not her being fired or anything negative. It took a while, but she has been moved to another department. I still interact with her a bit, but she is no longer my boss. Thanks to the Lady and Lord! :)

Comment by Melanie Konnick on September 21, 2010 at 4:07pm: Yeah I've thought of that too. My worry is that the guy who is the next step up the ladder has only been at the company for a few months, and she has been the main person in his ear. I am afraid that if I go to him, I will be making myself a bigger target. There is someone else I could talk to that I trust. He is a peer of hers in a different line of business, but he used to hold the role she has now back when I started at the company 4 years ago. I hadn't thought of him, but maybe he can help. As far as evidence goes, its all he said she said. I don't have anything in writing, at least not yet, that is useable.

Comment by John Thomas on September 21, 2010 at 12:46pm: O.k. So she writes people up for things that are not in the company rules.

She has a friend in Human Resources that dismisses people's complaints about her.

Who's the next higher up?

You need to start gathering hard evidence.

You're in the U.S. If you lose your job unfairly, you can sue the company.

Comment by Megan L Herrod on September 20, 2010 at 9:24pm: I would focus your anger towards the emotional culprit rather than her as a person. Obviously there is negative energy that she has brought into the office and it has corrupted the atmosphere. Before working spells always cleanse thoroughly. Remember that by allowing anger to overtake you you are increasing her influence rather than diminishing it.

You could try this spell: Reflection Protection Spell

try to entrap the negativity, rather than the person. It should clear the air, so to speak. THEN try to be positive and welcoming to her and your coworkers. If you villify her (us VS her) you will only make things worse. Instead see her as a person, like you, who obviously is troubled in some way and might need compassion to example to her how to behave.

Of course, if the harassment continues of gets worse... go to a superior and talk to them. It is wrong to be forced to work in a hostile environment.

I hope this helps

Comment by Melanie Konnick on September 20, 2010 at 6:48pm: In this situation, it's not so much a mocking or taunting thing. This person has the power to really harm our jobs, like writing people up over things that are not company policy, and things that they have not gotten a warning on first. She is targetting specific people and jumping over steps in the disciplinary procedures, even if the offenses were legitimate.

I do wear a quartz point necklace that I charged to help maintain my personal shields, but it just isn't cutting it, and that only protects me and not the others she has been going after. We have a route we can take with the HR dept to complain, but the head of HR is one of her friends and won't hear anything against her. The one girl that put in a case was told to withdraw it or they were going to fire her. They didn't want it on the record that they dismissed it, but they weren't going to make things right either.

Comment by Kimberly Ekenstam on September 20, 2010 at 6:39pm: I recommend grounding and centering yourself to release any worries, doubts or any other negative energy before doing any rituals or spells. There is quick and easy practice that I obtained from the book "Clan of the Goddess" by C.C. Brodwin that can be done prior to any spell work, (as she recommends).

Remember to ask yourself are you willing to accept the consequences of the law of three? Who will be impacted by this spell and what possible outcomes would it have on me and the people around me?

It is never good to cast a spell for or on someone else without their permission or specific request unless it is for healing or protection. I instead recommend that you create a spell for yourself with the ability to resist the taunts rather than doing a spell against the offender. (Blessing a pair of earrings and wearing them will prevent any negative or harmful words from falling on your ears.) A spell to increase your positive influence over the office is another option.

Whatever you do decide to do, the following cleansing and protection ritual (or something similar) should be done beforehand:
Take a deep breath and hold it. With each breath imagine a ball of yellow light growing inside you. As you inhale the yellow light relaxes your body starting from your head and ending at your toes. As you exhale see all your anxiety, stress and other spiritual debris leave your body as dark smoke. Inhale and exhale until you are completely relaxed and the air you expel from your body is clear and no longer smoky. After this imagine your body being surrounded by a cocoon or bubble of bright light. Feel the protection and relaxation the light gives you. Know that this protection will stay with you throughout the day.

I hope this helps!

Comment by Lavender Larkspur on September 20, 2010 at 6:04pm: I have a suggestion that has worked for me in the past. Write the persons name on a piece of paper with all of the acts that have made this such a hot situation. Now take the paper put it in a ziplock bag fill it with water and put it in the freezer. Focus your energy and visualize the situation cooling off.
Now you are changing your focus from the person to the situation. Who knows what pain or pressures this person is under to make them act in such a way. Yes some people are just awful but there is usually more to it.
