THE WITCHES REDE

Live ye must let to live,
Fairly take and fairly give;
From the CIRCLE thrice about,
To keep unwelcomed spirits out.

Bind fast the spell every time,
Let the words be spoke in rhyme;
Soft of eye and light to touch,
Speak ye little , listen much.

Deosil go waxing moon
Sing and dance the WITCHES RUNE;
Widdershins go by waning moon,
Chat ye then a baleful tune.

When the LADY’S moon is new,
Kiss hand to her times two;
When the moon rides at peak,
heart’s desire then ye seek.

Heed the NORTH WIND’S mighty gale,
Lock the door and trim the sail;
When the wind from the south,
Lovr will kiss them onn the mouth;
When the wind blows from the west,
Departed souls have no rest,
When the winds blows from the east,
Expect the new and set the feast.

Nine woods in cauldron go,
Burn them quiuck, burn them slow;
Elder be the LADY’S tree,
Burn it not or cursed ye’ll be;
When the wind begins to turn,
Soon the beltane fires will burn;
When the wheel has turned to yule,
Light the log, the HORNED ONE rules.

Heed the flower, bush or tree,
By the LADY blessed be,
When the rippling water flow,
Cast the stone - trust you’ll know;
When ye have and hold a need,
Harken not to other’s greed;
With a fool no season spend,
Or be content as his friend.

Merry meet and merry part
Bright the cheeks, warm the heart;
Mind the three fold law ye should;
Three times bad and three time good.

True introth ever ye be,
Lest they love prove false to thee;
‘tis by sun that life be won,
and by moon that change be done.

If ye would the past to will,
Make certain the mind be still;
What good tools without inner light?
What good be magick without wisdom—sight.

Eight words the wiccan rede fulfill;
Amd harm none, do what ye wil!

For witches this law,
Where ye enter in,
From there withdraw.
An’ ye will secure the spell,
Cast some silver in the well.
Enhance thy trance,
With dung and dance.
Upon the clock
Depeneth not.
Success pursueth the persistant;
Guilt flies when none pursueth.

Power shared is power lost.
Seek thine enemy in secret.
Thoughts are things,
As a man thinkest, so he is.
If you think small,
Ye become small.

Remember the pass words:
Perfect love and perfect trust,
So trust the universe and
Be at home every where.

if ye imagine and fear,
t’will get trapped,
of course you will be trapped,
fear not and you’ wont.

No one person can accomplish all.

Danger is never overcome without danger.

The past is fixed,
Yet the future may be bent.

When communication fails,
Confusion flows.

Some things cannot be
Understood by mortal man,
Many such must be accepted.

Rush in where amgles fear to tred,
Gods are with you.

Ye are never less alone,
Then when ye are alone.

Pray to the moon when she is round,
Luck with you shall then abound;
What ye seek for shall be found,
If sea of sky or solid ground.
