Rede
Of The Wicca
Bide the Wiccan
Laws ye must,
in perfect love and perfect trust.
Ye must live and let live,
fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the circle thrice about
to keep unwelcome spirits out.
To bind the spell
well everytime,
let the spell be spoken in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch,
speak ye little and listen much.
Deosil go by
waxing moon,
chanting out the Wiccan Runes.
Widdershins go by waning 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
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 Moor wind blows from the West,
departed spirits have no rest.
When the wind blows from the East,
expect the new and set the feast.
Nine woods in
the cauldron go,
burn then quick 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 to Yule,
light the log and the Horned One rules.
Heed ye flower, bush and tree,
by the Lady, Blessed Be.
Where the rippling
waters go,
cast a stone the truth to know.
When ye have
and hold a need,
hearken not to others greed.
With a fool no
season spend,
lest be counted as his friend.
Merry ye meet,
and merry ye 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 enow,
wear the blue star on thy brow.
True in love ye must be,
lest thy love be false to thee.
Eight words the
Wiccan Rede fulfill:
An It Harm None, Do As Thou Wilt.
