PBP - Karma

Karma is the belief that whatever type of energy you put into the universe will eventually make it's way back to you. To put simply; What goes around, comes around. 

In Wicca, Karma is put into play by the Three Fold Law, which is basically that whatever you do will come back to you three fold. Or really, Karma times three. A lot of people associate this with the negative choices that people make. Some also believe that it applies to positive choices as well. More often than not, people lean towards the bad because it is basically a punishment for whatever the offending person as done. As it is against the Wiccan rede to harm anyone or anything, those who practice negatively are believed to have triple the bad karma. 

Karma is popular in many traditions and differs as such. In general though, a lot of people believe that karma exists in one form or another. Many use the phrase I referenced earlier, "What goes around, comes around." They believe that because someone has done something terrible and got away with it, that in the end, it will eventually catch up to them and make them pay for what they had done. It's very similar to pagan beliefs although most don't realize that Karma is a pagan thing.  

Blessed Be!
