Bide by the Wiccan Laws ye must
In perfect love and perfect trust
Live and let another live
Freely take and freely give.
Cast the circle thrice about
To keep all evil spirits out
To bind the spell every time
Let the words be spake in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch
Speak thou little,listen much.
Deosil go by waxing moon
Sing and dance the Wiccan rune
Windershins go when the moon doth wane
And werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane.
When the Lady's moon is new
Kiss thy hand to her times two
When the moon rides at her peak
Then your hearts desire seek.
Heed the north wind's mighty gale
Lock the door and drop the sail
When the winds come from the south
Love will kiss thee on the mouth.
When the wind blows from the east
Expect the new and set the feast
When the wind blows o'r thee
Departed spirits restless be.
Nine woods in the cauldren go
Burn them east and burn them slow
Elder be ye 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 let Pan rule.
Heed ye flower,bush and tree
By the Lady,Blessed be
Where the rippling waters go
Cast a stone and truth ye'll know.
When you have a need
Hearken not to others greed
With the fool no season spend
Nor 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 enow
Wear the alter star on thy brow
True in love must ever be
Unless thy lover's false to thee.
Eight words of the Wiccan rede fulfil
an it harm none,do what ye will
With there eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfil:
'An it harm none,do what ye will!'
