WICCAN REDE
traditional
BIDE YE WICCAN LAWS YE MUST NINE WOODS IN THE CAULDRON GO
IN PERFECT LOVE AND PERFECT TRUST BURN THEM FAST AND BURN THEM SLOW
LIVE YE MUST AND LET TO LIVE ELDER BE THE LADY'S TREE
FAIRLY TAKE AND FAIRLY GIVE BURN IT NOT OR CURSED YE'LL BE
CAST THE CIRCLE THRICE ABOUT WHEN THE WHEEL BEGINS TO TURN
TO KEEP UNWELCOME SPIRITS OUT LET THE BELTANE FIRES BURN
TO BIND THE SPELL WELL EVERY TIME WHEN THE WHEEL HAS TURNED A YULE
LET THE SPELL BE SPAKE IN RHYME LIGHT THE LOG THE HORNED ONE RULES
SOFT OF EYE AND LIGHT OF TOUCH HEED YE FLOWER, BUSH AND TREE
SPEAK YE LITTLE AND LISTEN MUCH BY THE LADY BLESS`D BE
DEOSIL GO BY THE WAXING MOON WHERE THE RIPPLING WATERS GO
CHANTING OUT THE WICCAN RUNE CAST A STONE AND THE TRUTH YE'LL KNOW
WIDDERSHINS GO BY THE WANING MOON WHEN YE HAVE AND HOLD A NEED
CHANTING OUT THE BANEFUL TUNE HARKEN NOT TO OTHER'S GREED
WHEN THE LADY'S MOON IS NEW WITH A FOOL NO SEASON SPEND
KISS THE HAND TO HER TIMES TWO NOR BE COUNTED AS HIS FRIEND
WHEN THE MOON RIDES AT HER PEAK MERRY MEET AND MERRY PART
THEN THY HEART'S DESIRE SPEAK BRIGHT THE CHEEK AND WARM THE HEART
HEED THE NORTH WIND'S MIGHTY GALE MIND THE THREEFOLD LAW YE SHOULD
LOCK THE DOOR AND TRIM THE SAIL THREE TIMES BAD AND THREE TIMES GOOD
WHEN THE WIND COMES FROM THE SOUTH WHEN MISFORTUNE IS ENOW'
LOVE WILL KISS THEE ON THE MOUTH WEAR THE STAR UPON THY BROW
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS FROM THE WEST TRUE IN LOVE MUST YE EVER BE
DEPARTED SOULS WILL SAFELY REST LEST THY LOVE BE FALSE TO THEE
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS FROM THE EAST THESE EIGHT WORDS THE REDE FULFILL
EXPECT THE NEW AND SET THE FEAST "AN YE HARM NONE, DO WHAT YE WILL."
