The Wiccan Rede
Bide ye Wiccan laws you must,
in perfect love and perfect trust.
Live ye must and let to live,
fairly take and fairly give
For the circle thrice about
to keep unwelcome spirits out.
To bind ye spell well every time,
let the spell be spake in rhyme
Soft of eye and light of touch
speak ye little, listen much.
Dosil go by the waxing moon
chanting out ye baleful tune
When ye Lady's moon is new,
kiss ye hand to her times two
When ye moon rides at her peak,
Then ye hearts desire seek
Heed the North winds mighty gale
lock the door and trim 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.
Nine woods in the caldron 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
soon ye beltane fires will burn
When the Wheel hath turned a Yule
light the log the Horned One rules.
Heed ye flowers, bush and treeby the Lady blessed be
Where the rippling waters go
Cast a stone the thruth ye'll know
When you have and hold a need
harken not to others 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 ye threefold law you should,
three times bad and three times good.
When mistfortune is enow,
wear the star above thy brow.
True in love must ye ever be,
lest thy love be false to thee.
These eight words the wiccan rede fulfill;
An harm ye none, do what ye will.

The Wiccan Beliefs
The divine Spirit is present in all creatures
and things: people, animals, plants, stones...
The ultimate creative force manifests in both
feminine and masculine modes; therefore it is
often symbolized as the Goddess and The God.
In some covens, both are celebrated equally.
In others, The Goddess is given precedence or
even celebrated without reference to the God.
All Goddesses and Gods are aspects of The
Goddess and The God. The aspects most
popular in Wicca are the Triple Goddess of
the Moon (Maiden, Mother and Crone) and the
Horned God of death and rebirth.
Reincarnation and karma are valid concepts.
Upon death one goes to a state of rest and
reflection, and eventually chooses where and
when s/he will be reborn.
Magick is practiced for positive (helping)
purposes: spiritual development, healing,
guidance, safety, etc.
Rituals are generally performed outdoors
when possible, at the New and Full Moons, and
at eight Sabbat festivals which mark the
progression of the seasons.
Magick and celebration are performed in
small groups, usually 3 to 13, called covens.
These are basically autonomous -- there is no
central church authority or hierarchy.
There is no holy book, or prophet, no
equivalent of the Bible or Jesus or
Mohammed. Individuals have access to the
divine, and do not require an intermediary.
Every initiate is regarded as a priest/ess.
The central ethic is "And ye harm none, do as
ye will." Whatever energy you send out
returns threefold, so it is wise to be kind to
others.
We should live in harmony with the Earth and
Nature, and not exploit them.
Though Wicca is a valid spiritual path, it is
not the only one. There is no recruiting, and
people should be free to choose the path that
best fits their needs.
The concepts of original sin, sacrifice,
redemption, confession, the divinity of Jesus,
sinfulness of sex, Judgment, Heaven and Hell,
denigration of women, bodily resurrection,
and the Bible as divine revelation are not part
of Wicca. Neither are Satanism, the Black
Mass, desecration of cemeteries, the sacrifice
of animals, etc.
The above is not universally accepted by
all Wiccans and Pagans, but as a general rule,
these are representative of the Wiccan belief
system. This list was borrowed from Our Lady
of the Woods, Copyright 1983. Though these
may look similiar to the Wiccan principles,
they are different.
