The Wiccan Rede










The 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 everytime,               
Let the spell be spake in rhyme.       
Soft of eye and soft of touch 
 Speak little, listen much.  
            
Desoil go by the waxing moon,    
Chanting out the witches rune. 
Widdershins go by the waning moon,
Chanting out the baleful rune.        
When the ladys moon is new,           
Kiss her hand times two.               
When the moon rides at her peak,   
Then your hearts desire speak.        
Heed the north winds might 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 ladys tree,                   

Burn it not or cursed you'll be, 
When the wheel begins to turn,          
Let the Beltane fires burn.              
When the wheel turns to yule,         
Light the log the horned one rules.  
Heed thy flower, bush and tree,            
By the lady Blessed be.                
Where the rippling waters go,          
Cast a stone and truth youll know. 
When you have a true need,       
Hearken not to others greed.
With a fool no season spend,
Lest ye be counted as his friend.     
Merry met 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,               
Paint the blue star on thy brow.   
 
True in love always be,                     
Lest thy lovers false to thee.          
 Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill,  
 An ye harm none, do what ye will.
