Rede of the Wicca
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 little and listen much.
Deosil go by the waxing moon, sing and dance the Witch's Rune.
Widdershins go when the moon doth wane, and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane.
When the Lady's moon is new kiss thy hand to her times two.
When the moon rides at her peak then your heart's desire speak.
Heed the northwind's mighty gale, lock the door and drop the sail.
When the wind comes from the south love will kiss you on the mouth.
When the wind blows from the east expect the new and set the feast.
When the westwind blows o'er thee departed spirits restless be.
Nine woods in the cauldron go burn them fast, burn them slow.
Elder be the Lady's tree, burn it not or cursed 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 ye flower. bush, and tree by the Lady, blessed be.
Where the rippling waters flow cast a stone and truth ye'll know.
Whenever ye havea a need Hearken 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 you should three times bad, three times good.
Except in thine own defense it be, ever mind the rule of three.
When misfortune is enow, wear the blue star on thy brow.
True in love ever be unless thy love is false to thee.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An it harm none, do what thou will.
