The Wiccan Rede

Bide the Wiccan 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 each time Let the spell be spoke in rhyme Soft of eyes and light in touch, Speak little, listen much Deosil go by the waxing moon Chanting out the witches rune Winddinshins go by the waxing moon Chanting out the rune When the ladies moon is new Kiss the hand to her, times two When the moon rides at her peak Then your hearts desire speak Head the North winds 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 soals will have no rest When the wind blows from the East Expect the new and set the feast Nine woods on the cauldron go Burn them fast and burn them slow Elder be the ladies tree Burn it not or cursed you'll be When the wheel begins to turn Let the Beltain fires burn When the wheel has turned to Yule Light the log and the Horned one rules Heed yea flower, bush and tree By the lady blessed be Where the rippling wasters go, Cast a stone and truth you'll When you have a true need Hearken not to the others greed With a fool no season spend Merry meet and merry part Bright the cheek and warm the heart Mind the three fools law you should Three times band and three times good When misfortunes is a crow Wear a blue star on thy brow True is love ever be, Least thy lovers false to thee Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill "An ye harm nine, do what ye will"
