Like many important documents, there are different versions available depending upon where you look. The only real difference is a little bit in the wording, and location. I am listing the different versions of the Rede that I have, due to the fact that they may differ tradition to tradition.
The Redes listed below vary in who was attributed to writing them and the date that they were supposed to have been written. The Wiccan Rede in its long form is an almost impossible document to track down the exact author or date it was written. I will however post the author and date if such was available on the document.
Bide ye the Wiccan laws ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust.
Live and let live, fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the circle thrice about, to keep the evil spirits out.
To bind the spell every time, let the spell be spake in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch, speak little , listen much.
Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the Witches' Rune.
When the Lady's moon is new, kiss the hand to her times two.
When the moon rides at her peak, then your hearts desire seek.
Heed the North wind's mighty gale, lock the door and drop the sail.
When the wind comes from the south, love will kiss the on the mouth.
When the wind blows from the west, departed souls will have no rest.
When the wind blows from the east, expect the new and set the feast.
Nine woods in the cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow.
Elder be the Lady's tree, burn it not or cursed you'll be.
When the Wheel begins to turn, Let the Beltain fires burn.
When the Wheel has turned to Yule, Light the log and the Horned One rules.
Heed ye flower, bush and tree, by the Lady blessed you'll be.
Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone and truth you'll know.
When you have a true need, hearken not to others greed.
With a fool no seasons spend, lest you be counted as his friend.
Merry Meet and Merry Part, bright the cheeks and warm the heart.
Mind the threefold law you should, three times bad and three times good.
When misfortune is enow, wear the blue star upon thy brow.
True in love ever be, Lest thy lover's false to thee.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An ye harm none, do what ye will.
