Wiccan Rede
Bide ye Wiccan
laws ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust
Live ye must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give
Form the circle thrice about, to keep unwelcome spirits out
To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be spake in
rhyme
Soft of eye and light of touch, speak ye little, listen much
Deosil go by the waxing moon, sing and dance the Wiccan rune
Widdershins go by the waning moon, chanting out the baleful 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 wind's 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 wind blows from the west, departed souls will have no
rest
When the wind blows from the east, expect the new and set the
feast
Nine woods in the cauldron go, burn them quick and burn them slow
Elder be the Lady's tree, burn it not or cursed you'll be
When the wheel begins to turn, soon the Beltaine fires will burn
When the wheel has turned to Yule, light the 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 the truth you'll
know
When you have and hold a need, hearken not to others' greed
With a 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 anow, wear the star upon thy brow
True in love you must ever be, lest thy love be false to thee
These eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill,
An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will
