Bide the Wiccan law ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust. Live and let live, fairly take and fairly give. Cast the circle thrice about, to keep unwelcome spirits out. To bind ye spell well every time, let the spell be spoke in rhyme. Soft of eye and light of touch, speak ye little and listen much. Deosil go by waxing moon, chanting out ye Baneful tune. When the Lady's moon is anew, kiss ye hand to Her times two. When the Moon rides at her peak, let ye heart's desire seek. Heed the Northwind's mighty gail; lock the doors and trim the sail. When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss thee on the mouth. When the wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast. Nine woods in the cauldron go, burn them quick and burn them slow.
Elder be ye Lady's tree, burn it not or cursed ye'll be. When the Wheel begins to turn, soon ye 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 and truth ye'll know. When you have and hold a need, hearken not to others greed. With a fool no season 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 enow, wear the star on thy brow. True in love must ye ever be, lest thy love be false to thee. These eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill; An harm ye none, do what ye will.
