The Oath of Leadership

Original Version
By the Chalice and the Blade, I swear to live my life within the five basic points of Wiccan Belief, The Ordains of Silver Chalice and the charter of my coven, taking responsibility for my actions and educating of my religion when asked. I will not turn any in need of help away without good cause, nor will I allow slander and misuse of Wicca to go unchallenged, because someday I may have need of help or be slandered.

Within my practice, if I teach, I ask nothing in return, and expect nothing in return but the respect that I, as a teacher, deserve for the time and effort I put into each student.

I take some responsibility for those I teach, and if I find I have taught them incorrectly, it falls to me to undo the wrongs done.

I affirm that I practice Wicca, and all aspects of my practice, with a free Will, and I will never deny, or in any way restrict the Will of a student.

I am fully aware of the ramifications of this Oath and I /swear it before the eyes of The Lord and Lady in truth. So mote it be.

Post-1984 version

This version incorporated the practices of Solitaries into Silver Chalice/UEW
I, name, or "craft name, also called mundane name", swear to live my life by the Five Points of Wiccan Belief, taking responsibility for my actions and educating of my religion when asked. I will not turn any in need of help away without good cause, nor will I allow slander and misuse of Wicca to go unchallenged, because someday I may have need of help or be slandered.

Within my practice, if I teach, I ask nothing in return, and expect nothing in return but the respect that I, as a teacher, deserve for the time and effort I put into each student.

I take some responsibility for those I teach, and if I find I have taught them incorrectly, it falls to me to undo the wrongs done.

I affirm that I practice Wicca, and all aspects of my practice, with a free Will, and I will never deny, or in any way restrict the Will of a student.

I am fully aware of the ramifications of this Oath and I sign/swear it before the eyes of The Lord and Lady in truth. So mote it be.

I have personally taken both versions of this oath, and I see it as the least any teacher could do.
