[from http://www.oakgrove.org/GreenPages/bos/1510.txt ] 1510 Subject: The Rede of the Wicca (Being known as the Counsel of the Wise Ones:) Bide the Wiccan laws ye must in Perfect Love and Perfect Trust Live and let live Freely take and freely give Cast the circle thrice about To keep all evil spirits out To bind the spell every time Let the spell be spake in rhyme Soft of eye and light of touch Speak little, listen much Deosil go by the waxing moon Sing and dance the Wiccan rune Widdershins go when the moon doth wane And the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane When the Lady's moon is new Kiss thy hand to her times two When the moon rides at her peak Then your heart's desire seek Heed the northwind's mighty gale Lock the door and drop the sail When the wind comes from the south Love will kiss thee on the mouth When the wind blows from the east Expect the new and set the feast When the west wind blows o'er thee Departed spirits restless be Nine woods in the cauldron go Burn them fast and burn them slow Elder be ye Lady's tree Burn it not or cursed ye'll be When the wheel begins to turn Let the Beltain fires burn When the wheel has turned to Yule Light the log and let Pan rule Heed ye flower, bush and tree By the Lady, Blessed be Where the rippling waters go Cast a stone and truth ye'll know 1511 When ye have a need Hearken not to others' greed With the fool no season spend Nor 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 blue star on thy brow True in love ever be Unless thy lover's false to thee Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill An' it harm none, do what ye will
