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 Home |
