The Wiccan Rede
Bide the Wiccan law we 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 spoken in rhyme

Soft of eyes and light of touch, speak ye little, listen much
Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the witches' rune
Widdershins go by the waning moon, chanting out the banning rune
When the Lady' moon is new, kiss ye hand to her, times two

When the moon rides at her peak, then ye heart 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 thee 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 an set the feast
Nine woods in the cauldrom go, burn them fast and burn them slow
Elder be the Lady's tree, burn it not, or cursed thou be
When the wheel begins to turn, soon the Beltane fires burn


When the wheel has turned to Yule, light the logs and Horned one rules
Heed ye flower, bush and tree, by the Lady, blessed be
When the rippling waters go, cast a stone and truth you'll know
When ye have a true need, hearken not to others greed

With a fool no season spend, lest ye be counted as his friend
Merry meet and merry part, bright the cheeks an warm the heart
Mind the threefold law ye should, three times bad and three times good
When the misfortune is anow, war the blue star on thy brow

True in love ever be, lest thy lover's false to thee
Eight words the Wiccan law fulfill
An Harm Ye None Do As Ye Will
