The Wiccan Rede

 
 
The Wiccan Rede

Bide by the Wiccan Law ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust.
Live ye must and let yet to live, fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the circle thrice about, to keep unwelcome spirits out.
to bind the spell every time, let the spell be spoke in rhyme.
Soft as eye and light as touch, speak ye little and listen much.
Deosil go by waxing moon, chanting out the Wiccan runes.
Widdershins go by the waning moon, chanting out the beautiful tune.
When the Lady's moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two.
When the moon rides at the peak, then the hearts desire seek.
Heed the North wins mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail.
When the wind comes from the South, Love will kiss thee on thy 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 wood in the cauldron go, burn them quick and burn them slow.
Elder be the Lady's tree, burn it not or cursed ye'll be.
When the wheel begins to turn, let the Beltane fires burn.
When the wheel has turned to Yule, light the log and the Horned One rules.
Heed ye flower, bush, and tree, by the Lady, Blessed Be.
Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone the truth to know.
When ye have and hold a need, hearken not to others greed.
With a fool no seasons spend, or be counted as his friend.
Merry Meet and Merry Part, bright the cheeks and warm the heart.
Mind the Threefold Law ye should, three times bad and three times good.
When misfortune is anew, wear the star upon thy brow.
True in love ye must ever be, lest thy be true to thee.
These 8 words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An it harm none, do what ye will.
