This is not the normal book of shadows that you would usually find, these are the wisdoms that have been handed to me by my guardian dragons through years of meditation and divination.
When the dreams become more then real, when do you know where reality stops and imagination takes over? When you hear voices in your head, are they really there, or are they figments of your imagination. I live in shadows. And I see what others cannot. The dragons for instance.
There are many others of the dragon path. It is nopt a single one person faith. But a Mass faith that is filled with wisdom, strenth and wonder.
If you think that you have a dragon watching over you and wish to know more about him/her/them, please feel free to contact me. Together we can work, so that you can hear his words as I have heard mine. I recomend any of the meditations that you can find to help clear your mind and focus your thoughts.
The first set of laws That I am listing are not only of the Dragons Codex but what all Wiccans and Pagans follow. They are a moral set of code all men should follow. But alas, not all do. So it is up to us to uphold them for future generations.
1) Chivalry is a high code of honor which is of most ancient Pagan origin, and must be lived by all who follow the Old Ways.
2) It must be kenned that thoughts and intent put forth on this Earth will wax strong in otherworlds beyond, and return...bringing into creation, on this world, that which had been sent forth. Thus one should exercise discipline, for "as ye do plant, so shall ye harvest."
3) It is only by preparing our minds to be as Gods that we can ultimately attain godhead.
4) "This above all...to thine own self be true..."
5) A Witch's word must have the validity of a signed and witness oath. Thus, give thy word sparingly, but adhere to it like iron.
6) Refrain from speaking ill of others, for not all truths of the matter may be known.
Pass not unverified words about another, for heresay is, in a large part, a thing of falsehoods.
7) Be thou honest with others, and have them known that honesty is likewise expected of them.
The fury of the moment plays folly with the truth; to keep one's head is a virtue.
8)Contemplate always the consequences of thine acts upon others. Strive not to harm.
9)Diverse covens may well have diverse news on love between members and with others. When a coven, clan or grove is visited or joined, one should discern quietly their practices, and abide thereby.
10) Dignity, a gracious manner, and a good humor are much to be admired.
11) As a Witch, thou hast power, and thy powers wax strongly as wisdom increases. Therefore exercise discretion in the use thereof.
12) Courage and honor endure forever. Their echoes remain when the mountains have crumbled to dust.
13) Pledge friendship and fealty to those who so warrant.
14) Strengthen others of the ancient ways and they shall strengthen thee.
15) Thou shall not reveal secrets of another Witch or another coven. Others have labored long and hard for them and cherish them as treasures.
16) Though there may be differences between those of the Old Ways, those who are once-born must see nothing,and must hear nothing.
17) Those who follow the mysteries should be above reproach in the eyes of the world.
18) The laws of the land should be obeyed whenever possible and within reason, for in the main they have been chosen with wisdom.
19) Have pride in thyself, and seek perfection in body and in mind. For the Lady has said, "How can thou honor another unless thou give honor to thyself first?"
20) Those who seek the mysteries should consider themselves as select of the Gods, for it is they who lead the race of humans to the highest of thrones and beyond the very stars.
The next here is also of general Wiccan Practice. It is the Wiccan Rede. No matter where they may live or their faith, all wiccans follow this rede. though it has been rewritten in many ways they all say the same. The following version is the one I learned.
Bide the Wican Laws we must,
In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust.
Live and let live,
Fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the Circle thrice about,
To keep the 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, listen much.
Deosil go by the waxing moon,
Chanting out the Witches' rune.
Widdershins go by the waning moon,
Chanting out the baneful rune.
When the Lady's moon is new,
Kiss the hand to her, times two.
When the moon rides at her peak,
Then heart's desire seek.
Heed the North wind's mighty gale,
Lock the door and drop 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 fast and burn them slow.
Elder be the Lady's tree,
Burn it not or cursed you'll be.
When the Wheel begins to turn,
Let the Beltane fires burn.
When 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 and truth you'll know.
When ye have a true need,
Hearken not to others' greed.
With a fool no season spend,
Lest ye 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 and three times good.
When misfortune is enow,
Where the blue star on thy brow.
True love ever be,
Lest thy lover's false to thee.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfil,
"An it harm none, do what thou will."
In the end it is the last line that is most important, "An it harm none, do what thou will." the meaning is most clear. You can do anything you want to do in life so long as no person or living creature of any sort gets hurt by your actions.
