The Wiccan Rede:

Bide the Wiccan Laws we must
In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust
Fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the circle thrice about to keep the evil spirits out.
To bind a spell every time
Let the spell be spake in rhyme
Soft of eye and light of touch
Speak little, listen much
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 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 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 the slow
Elder be the Lady's tree
Burn it not or cursed you'll be
When the Wheel begins to turn
Let the Beltane fires burn
When the Wheel Turns to Yule,
Light the Log and the Horned one rules
Heed ye Flower, Bush and Tree,
By the Lady Blessed Be
Where the ripping waters go
Cast a stone and truth you'll know
When ye have a true need
Hearken not to others greed
With a fool no seasons spend
Lest ye be counted as his friend
Lest in thy self defense it be ever mind the rule of three
When misfortune is enow
Wear the blur star on thy brow
True in Love ever be
Lest thy lovers false to thee
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill
And it harm none do what ye will
