BIDE YE WICCAN LAWS YE MUST ;
IN PERFECT LOVE AND PERFECT TRUST.
LIVE YE MUST AND LET YE LIVE;
FAIRLY TAKE AND FAIRLY GIVE.
FORM THE CIRCLE THRISE ABOUT ;
TO KEEP UNWELCOME SPIRITS OUT.
TO BIND THE SPELLS WELL EVERYTIME;
LET THE SPELL BE SPAKE IN RHYME.
SOFT OF EYE AND LIGHT OF TOUCH;
SPEAK YE LITTLE AND LISTEN MUCH.
DEOSIL GO BY THE WAXING MOON;
SING AND DANCE THE WICCAN RUNE.
WIDDERSHINS GO BY THE WAINING MOON;
CHANTING OUT A BALEFUL TUNE.
WHEN THE LADY'S MOON IS NEW;
KISS THE HAND TO HER TIMES TWO.
WHEN THE MOON RIDES AT HER PEAK;
THEN THE HEARTS DESIRE SEEK.
HEED THE NORTH WINDS MIGHTY GALE;
LOCK THE DOOR AND TRIM THE SAIL.
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS FROM THE SOUTH;
LOVE WILL KISS THEE ON THE MOUTH.
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS FROM THE EAST;
EXPECT THE NEW AND SET THE FEAST.
NINE WOODS IN THE CAULDRON GO;
BURN THEM QUICK AND BURN THEM SLOW.
ELDER BE THE LADY'S TREE;
BURN IT NOT OR CURSED YOU'LL BE.
WHEN THE WHEEL BEGINS TO TURN;
SOON THE BELTANE FIRES WILL BURN.
WHEN THE WHEEL HAS TURNED TO YULE;
LIGHT THE LOG THE HORNED ONE RULES.
HEED YE FLOWER , BUSH , AND TREE;
BY THE LADY BLESSED BE.
WHERE THE RIPPLING WATERS FLOW;
CAST A STONE AND THE TRUTH YOU'LL KNOW.
WHEN YOU HAVE A HOLD AND A NEED;
HEARKEN NOT TO OTHER'S GREED.
WITH A FOOL NO SEASON SPEND;
NOR BE COUNTED AS A FRIEND.
MERRY MEET AND MERRY PART;
BRIGHT THE CHEEKS AND WARM THE HEART.
MIND THE THREEFOLD LAW YE SHOULD ;
THREE TIMES BAD AND THREE TIMES GOOD.
WHEN THE MISFORTUNE IS ANOW;
WEAR THE STAR UPON THY BROW.
TRUE IN LOVE YOU MUST EVER BE;
LEST THY LOVE BE FALSE TO THEE.
THOSE EIGHT WORDS THE WICCIAN REDE FULFILL;
AN YE HARM NONE , DO WHAT YE WILL.
