Wiccan Rede
Bide the Wiccan Laws ye must,
in perfect love and perfect trust.
Live ye must and let to live,
fairly take and fairly give.
Form the cricle thrice about,
to keep unwelcome spirits out.
To bind your spell will every time,
let the spell be spoke in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch,
speak ye little and listen much.
Doesil go by the waxing moon,
chanting out ye baleful tune.
When the lady's moon is new,
kiss your hand to her times two.
When ye moon rides at her peak,
then your heart's desire seek.
Heed the North winds 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 East,
expect the new and set the feast.
When the wind blows from the West,
bardic words be at their best.
Nine woods in the cauldron go,
burn them fast and burn them slow.
Elder be ye lady's tree,
burn it not, or cursed ye'll be.
When the wheel beings to turn,
soon the Beltane fires burn.
When the wheel hath 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 truth ye'll know.
When ya have and hold a need,
hearken not to other's greed.
With a fool no season spend,
lest 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 enow,
wear the star upon thy brow.
True in love ye ever be,
lest thy love be false to thee.
Bide the Wiccan Laws ye must,
in perfect love and perfect trust.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill;
An' harm ye none, do what ye will.
