The Wiccan Rede

 

Bind the Wiccan Laws 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 spake in rhyme

 

Soft of eye and light of touch

Speak ye little, listen much.

 

Deosil go by waxing moon

Chanting out ye Witches rune

 

Widdershins go by waning moon,

Chanting out the baneful rune.

 

When the Lady's moon is new

Kiss the hand to her, times two.

 

When the moon rides at her peak

Then your heart's 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 and set the feast.

 

Nine woods in ye cauldron go

Burn them fast and burn them slow

 

Elder be ye Lady's tree,

Burn it not or cursed you'll be

 

When the Wheel begins to turn

Let the Beltaine 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 Be.

 

Where the rippling waters go

Cast a stone and truth you'll know

 

When ye have a true need

Hearken not to other's greed

 

With a fool no season spend

Lest ye 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 on thy brow.

 

True in Love ye must ever be,

Lest thy lover's false to thee.

 

Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:

An ye harm none, do what ye will.
