So mote it be! ~ Jack Veasey Before Time Was Before time was, there was the The One; The One was all, and all was The One. And the vast expanse known as the universe was The One, all-wise, all-pervading, all powerful, eternally changing. And space moved. The One moulded energy into twin forms, equal but not opposite, fashioning the Goddess and God from The One and of The One. The Goddess and God stretched and gave thanks to The One, but darkness surrounded them. They were alone, solitary save for The One. So They formed energy into gasses and gasses into suns and planets and moons; They sprinkled the universe with whirling globes and so all was given shape by the hands of the Goddess and the God. Light arose and the sky was illuminated by a billion suns. And the Goddess and God, satisfied by their works, rejoiced and loved, and were one. From the union sprang the seeds of life, and of human race, so that we might achieve incarnation upon the Earth. The Goddess chose the Moon as Her symbol, and the God the Sun as His symbol, to remind the inhabitants of Earth of their fashioners. All are born, live, die and are reborn beneath the Sun and Moon; all things come to pass there under, and all occurs with the blessings of The One, as has been the way of existence before time was. The Wiccan Rede Bide the Wiccan laws ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust. Live and let live - fairly take and fairly give. Cast the Circle thrice about to keep all 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 the waxing Moon - sing and dance the Wiccan Rune. Widdershins go when the Moon doth wane, and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane. 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 East, expect the new and set the feast. When the West wind blows o'er thee, departed spirits restless be. Nine woods in the Cauldron go - burn them quick and burn them slow. Elder be ye Lady's tree - burn it not or cursed ye'll be. When the Wheel begins to turn, let the Beltane fires burn. When the Wheel has turned a Yule, lighty the Log and let Pan rule. Heed ye flower, bush and tree - by the Lady blessed be. Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone and truth ye'll know. When ye are in dire need, hearken not to others' greed. With the fool no season spend, or be counted as his friend. Merry meet and merry part - bright the cheeks and warm the heart. When misfortune is enow, wear the blue star on thy brow. True in love ever be, unless thy lover's false to thee. Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill - an ye harm none, do what ye will. |
