Wiccan Rede

Cast the circle thrice about, to keep all evil spirits out.

To bind the spell every time, let the spell be spoke in rhyme.

Soft of eye and light of touch, speak ye little and listen much.

Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the Witches Rune.

Widdershins go by the wanning moon, chanting out the baneful Rune.

When the Ladys' moon is new, kiss the hand to her times two.

When the moon rides at her peak, then your heart’s desire do seek.

Heed the North winds mighty gale, Lock the door and drop the sail.

When the wind comes from the South, Love will kiss thee on thy mouth.

When the wind comes from the West, Departed souls will have little rest.

When the wind blows from the East, Expect some new and set a feast.

Nine woods in the cauldron go, Burn them fast and burn them slow.

Elder be thy Ladys' tree, Burn it not or cursed be.

When the wheel begins to turn, Let the Beltane fires fully burn.

When the wheel has turned to Yule, light the log for the Horned Ones' Rule.

Heed ye flower, bush and tree, By the Lady Blessed Be.

Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone for the truth to know.

When ye have need, Hearken not to others 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 your brow.

True in Love ever be, Lest thy love’s false to thee.
