Wiccan Rede

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.
Deosil go by the waxing
moon,
Chanting out the Witches'
Rune.
Widdershins go by the
waning 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 comes
from the South,
Love will kiss thee on the
mouth.
When the wind blows from
the West,
Departed souls 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 it not or cursed you'll
be.
When the Wheel begins to
turn,
Let the Beltane fires burn.
When the Wheel has
turned to Yule,
Light the log and Horned
One 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 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 thy
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"
