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 every time,
Let the spell be spoke in rhyme.
Soft
of eye and light of touch,
Speak little, listen much.
Deosil
go by the waxing moon,
Chanting out the witches' rune.
Widdershines
go by the waning moon,
Chanting out the baneful rune.
When
the Lady's moon is new,
Kiss the hand to her, times two.
When
the moon rides at her peak,
Then your heart's desire seek.
Heed
the north winds mighty 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 then fast and burn them slow.
Elder
be the Lady's tree,
Burn it not or cursed you'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 and truth you'll know.
When
ye have a true need,
Hearken not to other's greed.
With
a fool no season spend,
Lest ye be counted as his friend.
Merry
Meet and Merry part,
Bright the cheeks and warm the heart.
Mind
the three fold law you should,
Three times bad and three times good.
When
misfortune is enow,
Wear the blue star on thy brow.
True
in love ever be,
Lest thy lover's false to three.
Eight
words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
An ye harm none, do what ye will.
