THE 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 Ladyfs Moon is new, kiss the hand to her times two. When the Moon rides at her peak, then the heartfs 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 Ladyfs tree, burn it not, or cursed yefll 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. Blessed Be to thee
THE CHARGE OF THE GODDESS: Listen to the words of the Great Mother, she who of old has been called Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Cerridwen, Diana and by many other names: "Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full, then shall ye assemble in some secret place to adore the spirit of Me, who am Queen of all the Wise. You shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that ye be free, you shall sing, dance, feast, make music and love, all in My praise. For Mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, but Mine also is joy on Earth. My law is love unto all beings. Mine is the secret door that opens upon the land of youth, and Mine is the cup of the wine of life, that is the Cauldron of Cerridwen, that is the Holy Grail of Immortality. I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal, and beyond death, I give peace, freedom and reunion with those who have gone before. Nor do I demand aught in sacrifice, for behold, I am the Mother of all things, and My love is poured out upon the Earth." Hear now the words of the Star Goddess, the dust of whose feet are the hosts of Heaven, whose body encircles the universe: "I who am the beauty of the green earth, and the white moon among the stars, do call upon your souls...arise, and come unto Me. For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe. From Me all things proceed, and unto Me they must return. Let My worship be in the heart that rejoiceth, for behold - all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals. Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you. And you who seek to know Me, know that thy seeking and yearning will avail thee not, unless thou knowest this mystery: that if that which you seek you findest not within thee, you will never find it without, for behold - I have been with thee from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire." Blessed Be!
