The Wiccan Way
|
|
|
|
Recognizing that there is more than one path to spiritual
|
|
enlightenment and that Wicca is but one of many, and that Wicca
|
|
holds within itself the belief that there is more than one type of
|
|
step set to the spiral dance, find here listed common denominators
|
|
of the Craft.
|
|
|
|
That there is above all the Goddess in her three-fold aspect and many
|
|
are her names. With all her names we call her Maiden, Mother and
|
|
Crone.
|
|
|
|
That there is the God, consort and son, giver of strength and most
|
|
willing of sacrifice.
|
|
|
|
That and it harm none, do what ye will shall be the law.
|
|
|
|
That each of her children are bound by the three-fold law and that
|
|
whatever we create, be it joy or sorrow, laughter or pain, is brought
|
|
back to us three-fold.
|
|
|
|
That as she is the mother of all living things and we are all her
|
|
children, we seek to live in harmony not only with each other, but
|
|
with the planet earth that is our womb and home.
|
|
|
|
That life upon the earth is not a burden to be born, but a joy to be
|
|
learned and shared with others.
|
|
|
|
That death is not an ending of existence, but a step in the on-going
|
|
process of life.
|
|
|
|
That there is no sacrifice of blood, for She is the mother of all
|
|
living things, and from her all things proceed and unto her all
|
|
things must return.
|
|
|
|
That each and everyone of the children who follow this path has
|
|
no need of another between themselves and the Goddess, but may find
|
|
Her within themselves.
|
|
|
|
That there shall not by intent be a desecration of another's symbols
|
|
of beliefs, for we are all seeking harmony within the One.
|
|
|
|
That each person's faith is private unto themselves and that
|
|
another's belief is not to be set out and made public.
|
|
|
|
That the Wiccan way is not to seek converts, but that the way be
|
|
made open to those who for reasons of their own seek and find the
|
|
Craft.
|
|
|
|
And as it is willed, so mote it be.
