Bide ye wiccan laws you must , In Perfect love and perfect trust Live ye must and let to live , Fairly take and fairly give For the circle thrice about To keep unwelcom spirits out To bind ye spell well every time , Let the spell be spake in rhyme Soft of eye and light of touch , Speak ye little , listen much Deosil go by the waxing moon , Chanting out ye baleful tune When ye Lady's moon is new , Kiss ye hand to her times two When ye moon rides at her peak , Then ye heart's desire seek Heed the north winds mighty gale , Lock the door and trim the sail When the wind comes from the south , Love will kiss thee on the mouth 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 ye Lady's tree , Burn it not or cursed ye'll be When the wheel begins to turn , Soon ye beltane fires will burn When the whell hath turned to Yule Light the log the Horned One rules Heed ye flower , bush and tree , By the Lady blessed be Where the rippling waters go , Cast a stone , the truth ye'll know When ye have and hold a need , Harken not to others greed With a fool no season spend , Or be counted as his friend Merry meet and merry part Bright the cheeks and warm the heart . Mund ye threefold law ye should , Three times bad and three times good When misfourtune is enow , Wear the star upon they brow True in love must ys ever be , Lest thy love be true to thee These eight words the wiccan rede fulfill ; An harm ye none , do what ye will .
