"
three
by three by three,
what thou dost comes back to thee
".
In the loosest sense,
karma
. A
wiccan
belief that what you do will be returned
threefold
. If you
do good
for others, you will recieve good back--not nessecarily in the way you expect, but in some form. Conversely if you do
harm
, especially intentionally, you *will*
suffer
for it, far more than your 'victim' suffered from your action, and again in usually
unexpected
ways.

The law of
three
is that whenever something good or bad happens,
three
times in a row, you really notice it. Especially if you are expecting something similar, and if the things that happened have low probabilities. Why is it not law of four? Well, the
probability
is just that much less. All it takes is
three
good or three bad or three whatever things in a row to grab your attention.
Once
is
happenstance
.
Twice
is
coincidence
.
Thrice
is
conspiracy
.
(
Four times
is
rare
, I might add)
Why do we see this so often? Although the individual events are rare, the probability is high that any one of the range of things we expect (bad things, good things, etc.) will happen. And, when you are already expecting one of these three-fold occurences, you will be looking out extra hard for
connection
s. Some would say that we actually play a role in helping these events happen, consciously or not.
