Bide these Wiccan laws ye must
With 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 a spell well every time
Let the spell be spoken in
rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch,
Speak ye little, listen
much.
Deosil go by waxing moon,
Sing and dance ye Wiccan
Rune.
Widdershins go by waning moon,
Chanting out the
baleful tune.
When the Lady's moon is new,
Kiss ye hand to Her times
two.
When the moon rides her peak
Then your heart's desire
seek.
Heed the North wind's mighty gale,
Lock the door and trim 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 them fast and burn
them slow.
Elderwood the Lady's tree,
Burn it not or cursed you'll
be.
When the Wheel begins to turn,
Soon will the Beltane fires
burn.
When the Wheel has turned to Yule,
Light the log, the Horned
One rules.
Teaching: Flower, Bush and Tree,
By the Lady, blessed
be.
Where the rippling waters go,
Cast the stone and truth you'll
know.
When ye 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 upon thy
brow.
True in Love ye must ever be,
Lest thy love be false to
thee.
These eight words in Rede fulfill:
And ye harm none,
do what ye will!
