The Witches' Rede

(short form)

 

Bide the Wiccan Laws we must
In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust.

Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill,
        An ye harm none, do what ye will.
What ye sends forth, comes back to thee,
       So ever mind the rule of three.
Follow this with mind and heart,


       
And Merry ye meet.
And Merry ye part.

 

 


 

 

The Harm None Rule is simply...

"An Ye Harm None, Do what Ye Will"

meaning...

for as long as you do not influence the free will

or affect the well-being of a person including oneself

then one may do what one wants to do

or needs to do.

 

This includes mundane/physical acts

or, to the working witch,

magickal or astral acts.


     
WHY ?

Because of this next principle...


 

The Threefold Law

 

Ever mind the Rule of Three

Three times what thou givest returns to thee.

This lesson well, ye must learn,

Thee only gets what thee dost earn!

 

 

See...

This is a Universal principle.

It may be known as KARMA in other Eastern religions

or as my Christian friend calls it, The Law of Harvest

in the Bible, it says...

"What you sow, so shall ye reap"

or as I say...

Everything in our Universe is interconnected,

from microcosm to macrocosm.

This is why Magick works.

So we must be prepared to take responsibility for our actions and thoughts

because the cycle always completes itself

the circle always comes around.

Whatever you put out, will always find its way back to you.
