The Law
We are of the Old Ways, among those who walk with the Goddess and God and receive Their love.
Keep the Sabbats and Esbats to the best of your abilities, for to do otherwise is to lesson your connection with the Goddess and God.
Harm None. This, the oldest law, is not open to interpretation or change.
Shed not blood in ritual; The Goddess and God need not blood to be duly worshiped.
Those of our ways are kind to all creatures, for hurtful thoughts are quite draining and aren't worth the loss of energy. Misery is self-created; so to is joy, so create joy and disdain misery and unhappiness. And this is within your power. So harm not
Teach only what you know, to the best of your ability, to those students who you choose, but teach not those who would use your instruction for destruction or control. Also teach not to boost pride, forever remember: She who teaches out of love shall be enfolded in the arms of the Goddess and God.
Ever remember that if you would be of our way, keep the law close to your heart, for it is the nature of the Wicca to keep the Law.
If ever the need arises, any law may be changed or discarded, and new laws written to replace them so long as the new laws don't break the oldest of all: Harm None
