As often as possible, hold the rites in forrests, by the sea shore, on deserted mountain tops, or on tranquil lakes.
Seek out wisdom in books, rare manuscripts, and cryptic poems if you will, but seek it out also in simple stones and fragile herbs and in the cries of wild birds. Listen to the whisperings of the wind and the roar of the water if you would discover magick, for here that the old secrets are preserved.
Books contain words, trees contain energies and wisdom books never drempt of.
Ever remember that the old ways are constantly revealing themselves. therefore be as the river willow that bends and sways with the wind. That which remains changeless thall outlive its spirit, but that which evolves and grows will shine for eternities.
There can be no monopoly of wisdom. Therefore share what you will of our ways with others whom seek them, but hide mystic lore from the eyes of those who would destroy, for to do otherwise increases their destruction.
Mock not the religons or spells of another for who can say yours are greater in power and wisdom?
Insure that your actions are honorable. For all that you do shall return to you three-fold, good or bad.
Be wary of one who would dominate you, who would control and manipulate your workings and reverences. True reverance for the Goddess and God occurs within. Look with suspicion on any who would twist worship from you for their own gain and glory, but welcome those Priestess and Priest who are suffused with love.
Honor all living things, for we are of the bird, the fish, the bee. Destroy not life, save it be to preserve your own.
And this be the nature of our way.
