You must keep the Wiccan laws with an attitude of perfect love and perfect trust. If you don't copletely agree with what Wicca is about, you might want to rethink your choice to follow the Wiccan path.
Respect people and Nature. Treat them both as you want to be treated.
Witches generally create a circle around them when preparing to do magick. The circle is cast three times because three is a very magickal number. It stands for the three phases of the Goddess and God, it is the number of creativity. In addition there is the threefold law that says events usually happen in threes.
Witches speak their spells in rhyme because it gives the conscious mind something to do. While your conscious mind is listening to the words, your unconscious can tap into your energy and the energy of the God and the Goddess - and magick is done.
Be gentle. Sit back and listen. Wise poeple don't blab; they listen.
When the Moon is waxing, or getting bigger, move around the ritual circle clockwise to bring good things toward you.
When the Moon is waning, move around the circle counter clockwise to take away negativity. Wolfsbane is dreaded because its a poisonous plant.
When the Moon is new and has just become visible in the sky again after being dark, salute the Lady and welcome her by kissing your two fingers.
When the Moon is full, go after your hearts desire, at that time of the month you can ask anything of her.
There are nine different kinds of magickal wood that are often burned in the cauldron during rituals - apple, birch, fir, hawthorn, hazel, oak, rowan, vine, and willow. But never burn the elder. Elder trees are the Lady's trees.
The turning of the wheel refers to the cycle of the year. Beltane is one of the year's major Sabbats, or holidays. It occurs in the spring. Yule, another Sabbat, sits on the opposite side of the wheel of the year, at the time of winter solstice.
Take care of Nature and respect it for the Lady's sake.
Watch what happens when you throw a stone into water. The ripples spread out from where the stone landed. In much the same way, your actions, like the stone, sends out ripples that affect everyone and everything around you.
Don't allow the idea of profit to sway you. Don't take money for your magickal work.
People will associate you with the company you keep. If you hang around with fools, you may just be seen as one, too.
It's good to be with friends.
Pay attention to the threefold law. Whatever you do, good or bad, comes back to you three times.
When you are in trouble, visualize a blue pentagram on your forehead. The pentagram will protect you.
Be loyal in love, but if the person is not loyal to you, forget about him (or her)!
Eight words sum it up - if it harms none, do what you want.
