Bide 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 well everytime, Let the spell be spoken in ryhme. Soft of eye and light of touch, Speak ye little and listen much. Deosil go by the waxing moon, Chanting out the Witch's rune. Widdershins go by the 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 trim 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 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 log and the Horned one rule. Heed ye flower, bush and tree, By the Lady, blessed be. Where the rippling waters flow, Cast a stone the truth to know. When ye have a true 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. Mind the three fold law ye must, Three times bad and three times good. When misfortune is enow, Wear the blue star on thy brow. True in love ever be, Lest thy lover is false to thee. Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill, An ye harm none, do what ye will. |
