The Wiccan Rede

Bide the Wiccan Laws ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust. Ye
must live and let live, fairly take and fairly give. Cast the circle thrice
about to keep unwelcome spirits out. To bind the spell well everytime,
let the spell be spoken in rhyme. Soft of eye and light of touch, speak
ye little and listen much. Deosil go by waxing moon, chanting out the
Wiccan Runes. Widdershins go by waning chanting out the baneful
tune. When the Lady’s Moon is new, kiss the hand to her times two.
When the Moon rides at her peak, then the heart’s 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 thee on the mouth. When the
Moor wind blows from the West, departed spirits have no rest. When
the wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast. Nine
woods in the cauldron go, burn then quick and burn them slow. Elder
be the Lady’s tree, burn it 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 the Horned One rules. Heed ye flower, bush and
tree, by the Lady, Blessed Be. Where the rippling waters go, cast a
stone the truth to know. When ye have and hold a need, hearken not to
others greed. With a fool no season spend, lest be counted as his
friend. Merry ye meet, and merry ye part, bright the cheeks and warm
the heart. Mind the three fold law ye should, three times bad and three
times good. When misfortune is enow, wear the blue star on thy brow.
True in love ye must be, lest thy love be false to thee. These eight
words the Wiccan Rede fulfill; An ye harm none, do what ye will.
