I've realised I need a post to tie together what I've written or come across over the years on the topic of ethics. This is not an attempt at a coherent definition at this stage, just a link to my thoughts on the topic (there are also thoughts buried in other posts where they are not a leading focus): 

• https://80000hours.org/career-guide/high-impact-jobs/;
• https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_1.html, which includes the following:
  

In terms of services provided through this Web site, however, irrespective of my personal beliefs and whether or not I am charging, all that I do is subject to the laws of this state, this nation and a number of international laws. In particular:

• any attempt at fraud by me is actionable under law;
• any failure of me to be inclusive (i.e. any incident where I discriminate on the basis of sexuality, gender identity, race, religion, etc.) may also be actionable under law.

The Australian Psychics Association has a Code of Ethics which is not bad, but lacks the above two points, and seems a bit anti-Wiccan/pagan for my tastes. I am not registered with, nor am I a member of, the Australian Psychics Association. I would like to get a better version of their register going at the Order of Hermes Web site, but I have been lacking in time to make that happen.

I am also aware that any client's attempt to blackmail or threaten me is also covered by relevant laws - that is, I am protected, as well as any clients. That also applies to discriminatory (i.e., offensive) behaviour against me :)

Next point: love spells are an attempt at negative psychic control, and are therefore WRONG, and I will have NOTHING to do with such rubbish, nor requests to harm people.

So ... ethics all round, thank you :)
