Reference Shelf - Wiccan Rede

Quote of the moment:
Innocence is a childish pride
Sin is a modern chide
How I wish that innocence stayed
through the many millennia which I have played

Bide the wiccan Law ye must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust.

Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give.

For tread the Circle thrice about to keep unwelcome spirits out.

To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme.

Light of eye and soft of touch, speak you little, listen much.

Honor the Old Ones in deed and name, let love and light be guides again.

Deosil go by waxing moon, chanting out the joyful tune.

Widdershins go when moon doth wane, and werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane.

When the Lady's moon is new, kiss ye hands 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 trim the sail.

When the wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast.

When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss you on the mouth.

When the wind blows from the West, departed souls will have no rest.

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.

Four times the Major Sabbats mark in the light and in the dark.

As the old year starts to wane the new begins, it's now Samhain.

When the time for Imbolc shows watch for flowers through the snows.

When the wheel begins to turn soon the Beltane fires will burn.

Four times the Minor Sabbats fall use the Sun to mark them all.

When the wheel has turned to Yule light the log, the Horned One rules.

In the spring, when night equals day, time for Ostara to come our way.

When the Sun has reached it's height, time for Oak and Holly to fight.

Harvesting comes to one and all when the Autumn Equinox does fall.

Heed the flower, bush, and tree by the Lady blessed be.

Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone and truth you'll know.

When you have and hold a need, harken 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 Three-fold Law ye should, three times bad and three times good.

When misfortune is anow wear the star upon thy brow.

Be true in love you must do lest thy love is false to you.

And These Eight words in Rede fulfill:

"An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"
