The Wiccan Rede:
Bide the Wiccan Laws ye must,
in perfect love and perfect trust.
Live and let live,
Freely take and freely give.
Cast the circle thrice about,
to keep all evil spirits out.
To bind the spell everytime,
let the spell be spoke in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch,
Speak little and 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 dred wolfsbane.
When the Lady's moon is new,
kiss thy hand to her times two.
When the moon rides at her peak,
then your hearts desire seek.
Heed the North winds mighty gale,
lock thy door and drop thy sail.
When the wind blows from the east,
Expect the new and set the feast.
When the west wind blows o're thee,
departed spirits restless be.
Nine woods in the cauldron go,
burn them fast, burn them slow.
Elder be thy Ladys tree,
burn them not, or cursed ye'll be.
When the wheel begins to turn,
let the beltane fires burn.
When the wheel has turned to Yule,
light the log and let Pan rule.
Heed the flower, bush, and tree,
by the Lady, Blessed Be.
Where the rippling waters go,
cast a stone and truth ye'll know.
When ye have a need,
harken not to others greed.
With the fool no season spend,
Nor be counted as his 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 misfortune is enow,
wear the blue star on thy brow.
True in love ever be,
Unless thy lovers' false to thee.
Eight words the wiccan rede fulfill;
An' it harm none, do what ye will.
