The Wiccan What? The Wiccan Rede that is. The little rule that if you harm someone it's gonna come back at you times 3, or was that times 9, or maybe 12 or maybe 52? Not all witches adhere to this, I certainly don't.

Below is the Wiccan Rede. You will find this in various forms across the net, but they all tend to say the same thing. You will also find that some Wiccans do not follow it at all, while others live their life by it.

As you can tell, it is quite repetitive and boring.   Just a Wiccan's way of scaring their members into believeing and doing as they say like the Christians do their sheep.

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
Deosil 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 heart's 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 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 beltane fires will burn
When the wheel hath turned a Yule
light the log the Horned One rules

Heed ye flower, bush and tree,
by the Lady blessed be
Where the rippling waters go,
cast a stone, the thruth ye'll know

When ye 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 ye should,
three times bad and three times good

When misfortune is enow,
wear the star upon they 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.
