The Wiccan Rede

Bide the Wiccan law ye must
In perfect love and perfect trust
Live ye well and let to live
Fairly take and fairly give

Cast the circle thrice about
To keep unwelcome spirits out
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
Chanting out the baleful tune

Widdershins by waning moon
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 your hearts desire seek
Heed the north wind's mighty gale
Lock the door and raise 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 news 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 ye'll be
When the wheel begins to turn
Let the beltane fires burn

When the wheel turns to yule
Light the log, 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 ye'll know
When ye 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 three fold law ye should
Three times bad and three times good
When misfortune is anow
Wear the star upon thy brow

True in love thou ever shalt be
Lest thy love be false to thee
Eight words the wiccan rede fulfil
An it harm none, do what ye will
