| Bide ye Wiccan Laws ye must
In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust Live ye must and let to live Fairly take and fairly give Cast 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 and listen much Deosil go by the Waxing moon Chanting out the Wiccan Rune Widdershins go by the 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 the heart's desire seek Heed the North Wind's mighty gale Lock the door and trim the sail When the wind blows 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 ye'll be When the wheel begins to turn Let the Beltane fires burn When the Wheel has turned a 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 the truth ye'll know When ye have and hold a need Harken not to other's greed With a fool no season spend Nor be counted as his friend Merry Meet and Merry Part Bright the Cheek and Warm the Heart Mind the Threefold law ye should Three times bad and three times good When misfortunes is enow' Where the star upon thy brow True in love must ye ever be Lest thy love be false to thee These eight words the Rede fulfill "An ye harm none, do what ye will." |
