The Wiccan Rede (Full Poetic Version)

🌿 The Wiccan Rede (Full Poetic Version)Bide the Wiccan Laws ye must,in 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 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 wolf’s bane.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 North wind’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 West,departed souls will have no rest.When the wind blows from the East,expect the new and set the feast.Nine woods in the cauldron go,burn them fast and burn them slow.Elder be the Lady’s tree,burn it not or cursed ye’ll be.When the wheel begins to turn,let the Beltane 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.When ye have and hold a need,harken not to others’ greed.With a 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,lest thy lover’s false to thee.Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An it harm none, do what ye will.
