Bide these Wiccan laws ye must
With perfect love and perfect trust.
Live and let live.
Fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the circle thrice about
To keep all evil spirits out;
To bind a spell every time
Let the spell be spoken in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch,
Speak ye little, and listen much
Deosil go by waxing moon
Sing and dance ye Wiccan rune.
Widdershins go by waning moon
Chanting out the baleful tune.
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 Northwind's mighty gale,
Lock the door, and trim the sail.
When the wind comes from the South,
Love will kiss you in the mouth.
When the wind blows from the West,
Departed souls will have no rest.
When the wind blows from the East,
Expect the new and set the feast.
Nine wood 'neath and cauldron go.
Burn them fast and them slow.
Elderwood, the Lady's tree,
Burn it not or cursed you'll be.
When the wheel begins to turn,
Soon the Beltane fires will burn.
When the wheel has turned to Yule,
Light the log, the Horned one rules.
Teaching, flower bush and tree
By the Lady, Blessed Be.
Where the rippiling waters go,
Cast the stone, and truth you'll know
When ye have and hold a seed,
Harken not to other's 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 Threefold Law you should
Three times bad and three times good.
When misfortune is anow,
Wear the star upon thy brow.
True in love ye must ever be,
Lest thy love be false to thee.
These eight words in rede fulfill:
And ye harm none, do what thou will.
