    At the risk of sounding snide, this doesn't make any sense. While making oaths and promises is something not to be taken lightly, if you find what you're doing isn't for you, then move on.

    If this friend feels the need to formally cut ties with anything dealing with Wicca or the Gods she was working with, she could do a little ritual to affirm that. Otherwise, there's no harm in making a change.

    Having said all that, it's unwise to make promises you can't keep, if only for the fact that you become unreliable and untrustworthy. I hope this person learns from this, and doesn't rush headlong into a new spiritual path full of oaths and promises he or she is ill-suited to keep.

    Even I knew she wouldn't be able to keep her promises, and I advised her against it... I seriously hope she learns from this.
