The Wiccan Rede <br />
<br />
Bide ye Wiccan laws you must,<br />
in perfect love and perfect trust.<br />
<br />
Live ye must and let to live,<br />
fairly take and fairly give<br />
For the circle thrice about<br />
to keep unwelcome spirits out.<br />
<br />
To bind ye spell well every time,<br />
let the spell be spake in rhyme<br />
Soft of eye and light of touch<br />
speak ye little, listen much.<br />
<br />
Dosil go by the waxing moon<br />
chanting out ye baleful tune<br />
When ye Lady's moon is new,<br />
kiss ye hand to her times two<br />
<br />
When ye moon rides at her peak,<br />
Then ye hearts desire seek<br />
Heed the North winds mighty gale<br />
lock the door and trim the sail.<br />
<br />
when the wind comes from the South<br />
love will kiss thee on the mouth.<br />
When the wind blows from the East<br />
expect the new and set the feast.<br />
<br />
Nine woods in the caldron go<br />
burn them fast and burn them slow<br />
Elder be ye Lady's tree<br />
burn it not or cursed ye'll be.<br />
<br />
When the wheel begins to turn<br />
soon ye beltane fires will burn<br />
When the Wheel hath turned a Yule<br />
light the log the Horned One rules.<br />
<br />
Heed ye flowers, bush and tree<br />
by the Lady blessed be<br />
Where the rippling waters go<br />
Cast a stone the thruth ye'll know<br />
<br />
When you have and hold a need<br />
harken not to others greed.<br />
With a fool no season spend<br />
or be counted as his friend.<br />
<br />
Merry meet and Merry part<br />
bright the cheeks and warm the heart.<br />
Mind ye threefold law you should,<br />
three times bad and three times good.<br />
<br />
When mistfortune is enow,<br />
wear the star above thy brow.<br />
True in love must ye ever be,<br />
lest thy love be false to thee.<br />
<br />
These eight words the wiccan rede fulfill;<br />
An harm ye none, do what ye will.
