| 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 spake
in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of
touch,
Speak little, listen
much.
Desoil go by the waxing
moon,
Chanting out the
Witches' Rune.
Widdershins 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 wind's
mighty gale,
Lock the door and
drop the sail.
When the wind come 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 them 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 Threefold Law
you should,
Three times bad and
three times good.
When misfortune is enow,
Wear the blue star on
they brow.
True in Love ever be,
Lest thy lover's false
to thee.
Eight words the Wiccan
Rede fulfill:
An' ye harm none, do
what ye will |
