Bide ye Wiccan laws ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust Live and let live, fairly take and fairly give. Form the circle thrice about to keep the evil spirits out Soft of eye, light of touch, speak ye little, listen much. To bind your spell every time, let ye spell be spoke in rhyme. Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the Witches Rune. Widdershins go by the waning moon, chanting out the baneful Rune When the Lady's moon is new, kiss thy hand to her times two. When the moon rides at her peak, then ye heart's desires 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 soals will have no rest. When the wind blows from the East, exspect the new and set the feast Nine woods in ye cauldron go, Burn them fast and burn them slow. Elder be the Lady's tree, burn it not or cursed ye'll be. When the wheel begins to turn, soon the Beltane fire'll burn When the wheel hath turned to Yule, light a log the horned one rules. Heed ye flower, bush and tree, by the Lady blessed be. When the rippling waters flow, cast a stone and truth ye'll know. When you have and hold a seed, harken not with others' greed. With a fool no seasons spend, lest ye be counted as his friend. Merry meet and merry part, bright the cheeks and warm the hearts. Mind ye threefold law ye should, three times bad, three times good. When misfortune is anow, wear the star upon thy brow. True in love ye must ever be, lest thy love be false to thee. In these eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill, "An harm it none, do what thou wilt." |
