The Wiccan Rede

Bide the Wiccan Law you must, in perfect love and perfect trust.
Live and let live; fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the Circle thrice about to keep all evil 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, sing and dance the Witches' Rune.
Widdershins go when the Moon doth wane, and werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane.
When the Lady's moon is new, kiss the hand of Her times two.
When the Moon rides at Her peak, then your heart's desire speak.
Heed the Nortwind'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 Westwind blows o'er thee, departed spitits restless be.
Nine woods in the cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow.
Elder be the Lady's tree-burn it not, or cursed be!
When the Wheel begins a turn, let the Beltane fires burn.
When the Wheel hath turned to Yale, light the log and let Pan rule.
Heed ye flower, bush, and tree, and by the Lady Blessed Be!
Where the fool, no seasons spend, nor be counted as his friend.
Merry Meet and Merry Part, bright the cheeks and warm the hearts.
Mind the Threefold Law ye should, three times bad an' three times good.
When misfortune is enow, weat the Blus Star on your brow.
True in love ever be, unless thy love is false to thee.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: "An' it harms none, do what ye will!"
