with each other Wiccans/Pagans
They stole our Sabbatts, to make them xtian!
Exodus 22:17, the xtian bible.
Blessed Be,
Hawk!
Ps. It was not my intention to blast the christians, or you!

The Wiccan Rede is a poem.
It is a guide line for those who are Pagan, may choose to follow.  Not all make that choice.

Dear Tourbi,

For words when they are strung together to become a poem
The mind must speak to the soul!

Please tell us more about the Wiccan Rede...

Here is the Wiccan Rede, or the Witches' Creed

The Wiccan Rede
Bide ye the Wiccan laws ye must,
in perfect love, in perfect trust.
Ye must live and let live, fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the circle thrice about, to keep unwelcome spirits out.

To bind the spell well every time,
let the spell be spoken in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch,
speak ye little and listen much.

Deosil go by waxing moon,
chanting out the Wiccan Rune.
Widdershins go by waning moon,
chanting out the baneful tune.

When the Lady's moon is new,
kiss the hand to her times two.
When the moon rides at her peak,
then the 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 Moor wind blows from the West,
departed spirits 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 quick and burn them slow.
Elder be the Lady's tree,
cut it not or cursed you’ll be.

When the wheel begins to turn,
let the Beltane fires burn.
When the wheel has turned to Yule,
light the log and the Horned One rules.

Heed ye flower, bush and tree, by the Lady, Blessed Be.
Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone,
the truth to know.

When ye have and hold a need,
hearken not to others' greed.
With a fool no seasons spend,
or 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,
where the blue star on thy brow.
True in love ye must ever be,
lest thy love be false to thee.

These words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
An ye harm none, do what ye will.

Bide the Wiccan Rede ye must,
In perfect love & perfect trust.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill,
An it harm none, do as ye will.

Ever mind the rule of three,
What you send out comes back to thee.
Follow this with mind & heart,
And merry meet & merry part!
