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 every time,
Let the
spell be spake in rhyme.
Soft of
eye and light of touch,
Speak little,
listen much.
Desoil go
by the waxing moon,
Chanting
out the baneful rune.
When the
Lady's moon is new,
Kiss the
hand to her, times two.
When the
moon rides at her peak,
Then your
heart's desire seek.
Heed the
North wind's mighty gale,
Lock the
door and drop the sail.
When the
wind come from the South,
Love will
kiss thee on the mouth.
When the
wind blows from the West,
Departed
soul 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 ti
not or cursed you'll be.
When the
wheel has turned to Yule,
Light the
log and the Horned Ones rules.
Heed ye
Flower, Bush and Tree,
By the
Lady, blessed be.
Where the
rippling waters go,
Cast a
stone and truth you'll know.
When ye
have a true need,
Hearken
not to other's greed,
With a
fool no season spend,
Lest ye
be counted as his friend.
Merry Meet
and Merry Part,
Bright
the cheeks and warm the heart.
Mind the
Threefold Law you should,
Three times
bad and three times good.
When misfortune
is enow,
Wear the
blue star on they brow.
True in
Love ever be,
Lest thy
lover's false to thee.
Eight words
the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
An' ye
harm none, do what ye will.
