I figured that since no one else has posted this I might as well post it now ^-^

The Wiccan Rede

Bide ye Wiccan laws ye must,
in perfect love and perfect trust.
Live and let live, fairly take and fairly give.
Form the circle thrice about,
to keep all evil spirits out.
To bind ye spell every time,
let ye spell be spake in rhyme.
Soft of eye, light of touch,
speak ye little, listen much.
Deosil go by the waxing moon,
singing out ye Witches’ Rune.
Widdershins go by the waning moon,
chanting out ye Baneful Rune.
When the Lady’s moon is new,
kiss your hand to her times two.
When the moon rides at her peak,
then ye heart’s desire seek.
Heed the North wind’s 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 West,
departed souls may have no rest.
When the wind blows from the East,
except the new and set the feast.
Nine woods in ye 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,
soon ye Beltaine fire’ll burn.
When the wheel hath turned to Yule,
light the log the Horned One rules.
Heed ye flower, bush and tree,
by the Lady blessed be.
Where the rippling waters flow,
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 ye threefold law ye should,
three times bad and three times good.
When misfortune is anow,
wear the blue star upon thy brow.
True in love ye must ever be,
lest thy love be false to thee.
In these eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill,
‘An ye harm none, do what ye will.

There are several versions, all edited down to size... most books have one of the shorter versions; it's easer for people to memorize lol.

Yay ^^ That's the first time I've seen a longer version 3nodding I've seen the super-short version many times, and yeah, it's easier to memorize xd

Bide the Wiccan law ye must,
In perfect love and perfect trust,
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
As ye harm none, do what ye will.
Follow this with mind and heart,
Merry ye meet, and merry ye part.

Hehe, I should show that to my boyfrien'ds little brother.. He's trying to go down the Pagan path, but he thinks that all you have to do to 'become Wiccan' is memorize the short rede... Makes me kinda angry, but at least he's trying to care about something. And I'll have to trust Mum (my boyfriend's mother) to correct his misassumptions..
