Bide within the law ye must In perfect love and perfect trust Live you must and let to live Fairly take and fairly give Tread the circle thrice about to keep all banefull spirits out To bind the spell well everytime Let the spell be spake in rhyme Light of eye and soft of touch Speak ye little, listen much Honor the ancients in deed and name Love and light shall be our guides again Deosil go by waxing moon Chanting out the joyous rune Widdershins go when mother wanes Removing those that are a bane When the Ladies moon is new Kiss thy hand to her times two When the moon rides at her peek Then your hearts desire seek Heed the northwinds mighty gale Lock the door and trim the sail When the wind blows from the south Love shall kiss thee on thy mouth When the wind whispers from the west Tormented souls shall find their rest Heed ye flower bush and tree And by the Lady blessed be When you have and hold a need Hearken ye not to others greed With a fool no season spend Or be counted as his friend Merry ye meet and merry ye part Bright the cheeks and warm the heart Mind the threefold law ye should Three times bad and three times good Be true in love this ye must do Lest your love be false to you These eight words the rede fullfill AND HARM YE NONE DO AS YE WILL! |
