Ye Wiccan Rede
Bide Ye Wiccan laws ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust
Live and let live, fairly take and fairly give
For the circle thrice about to keep all evil spirits out
To bind ye spell every time, let ye spell be spake in rhyme
Soft of eye, light of touch, speak ye lityl, listen much
Deosil go by the waxing moon, singing out ye Witches' Rune
Widdershins go by the waning moon, chanting out ye Baneful Rune
When the Lady's moon is new, kiss your hand to her times two
When the moon rides at her peak, then ye hearts' desire seek
Heed the North winds' mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail
When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss ye on the mouth
When the wind blows from the West, departed souls may have no rest
When the wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast
Nine woods in ye cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow
Elder be ye Lady's tree, burn it not or cursed ye'll be
When the wheel begins to turn, soon ye beltain fire'll burn
When the wheel hath turned a Yule, light a 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 truth ye'll know
When he have and hold a need harken not to others' reed
With a fool no seasons spend, nor be counted as his friend
Merry meet and merry part, bright the cheeks and warm the heart
Mind ye threefold law ye should, three times band and three times good
When misfortune is anow, wear the star upon your brow
True in love ye must ever be, lest thy love be falst to thee
In these eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill, an ye harm none, do what ye will.
