Wiccan Rede
..tr Bide these Wiccan laws ye must
with perfect love and perfect trust.
Live and let live
fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the circle thrice about
to keep all evil spirits out;
to bind a spell every time
let the spell be spoke in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch,
speak ye little, listen much.
Deosil go by waxing moon
sing and dance ye Wiccan Rune.
Widdershins go by waning moon
chanting out the baleful tune.
When the Lady's moon is new,
kiss ye hands to her times two.
When the moon rides at her peak
then your heart's desire seek.
Heed the Northwind's mighty gale,
lock the door, and trim the sail.
When the wind comes from the South,
love will kiss you in the mouth.
When the wind blows from the West,
departed souls will have no rest.
When the wind blows from the East,
expect the new, and set the feast.
Nine wood 'neath in cauldron go.
Burn them fast, and burn them slow.
Elderwood, the Lady's tree,
burn it not, or cursed you'll be.
When the Wheel begins to turn,
soon the Beltane fires will burn.
When the Wheel has turned to Yule,
light the log, the Horned One rules.
Teaching, flower bush and tree
by the Lady, blessed be.
Where the rippling waters go,
cast the stone, and truth you'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 the Threefold Law ye should
three times bad and three times good.
When misfortune is anow,
wear the star upon thy brow.
True in love ye must ever be,
lest thy love be false to thee.
These eight words in rede fulfill:
And ye harm none, do what thou will.
The Charge of the
Goddess
by Starhawk
Listen to the words of
the Great Mother,
who of old was called Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine,
Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Diana, Arianrhod, Brigid,
and many other names:
Whenever you have need of anything,
once a month, and better it be when the moon is full,
you shall assemble in some secret place
and adore the spirit of Me who is Queen of all the Wise
You shall be free from slavery,
and as a sign that you be free
you shall be naked in your rites.
Sing, feast, dance, make music and love,
all in My presence, for Mine is the ectasy of the spirit
and Mine also is joy on earth.
For my law is love unto all beings.
Mine is the secret that opens the door of youth,
and Mine is the cup of the wine of life
that is the Cauldron of Cerridwen
that is the holy grail of immortality.
I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal and beyond death
I give peace and freedom and reunion with those that have gone
before.
Nor do I demand aught of sacrifice, for behold,
I am the mother of al things
and My love is poured out upon the earth.
"Hear also the words of the Star Goddess,
the dust of Whose feet are the hosts of heaven,
Whose body encircles the universe:"
I Who am the beauty of the green earth
and the white moon among the stars
and the mysteries of the waters
I call upon your soul to raise and come unto Me.
For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe.
From Me all things proceed and unto Me they must return.
Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold
- all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.
Let there be beauty and strength,
power and compassion, honor and humility
mirth and reverence within you.
And you who seek to know Me,
know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not,
unless you know the Mystery:
for if that you seek, you find not within yourself,
you will never find it without.
For behold, I have been with you from the beginning,
and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.
The Charge of the God
..tr Listen to the words of the God, who
is son,
brother, lover and consort of the Lady.
I am the fleet deer in the forest,
I am the beach which receives the waves.
I am the sun which warms the earth.
I am the Lord of the Spiral Dance of Life,
Death and Rebirth, the gentle Reaper,
the Winter Stag and the Spring Fawn.
All things are of Me for I am of the
Goddess, opposite, yet not opposing.
I bring forth from the womb that is a tomb,
for I am the seed which fertilizes.
I am abundant life, for I am
the grain that grows and I am death,
the harvest in the fall.
And I am rebirth after darkness,
for I am the seed that springs forth anew.
I am fertility, the spreader of life, and
I am the Lord of Death which adds value to life.
I am the Guardian of the gate between life and death.
I am the King of the underworld,
where no living being may venture,
but I am also the King of rebirth, turning the tomb into a
womb.
I bring love and strength, peace and passion,
hope and joy, for I am the gentle lover in the night.
All that comes from the Great Mother, the
Divine Star Goddess, who is Mother of us all.

The Charge of the Dark Goddess
..tr The Dark Goddess speaks to us,
through the mouths of Lilith, Kali, Tiamet, Hecate,
Nix, the Black Madonna, Nemesis and Morgaine.
I am the Darkness behind and beneath the shadows.
I am the absence of air that awaits at the bottom of every
breath.
I am the Ending before Life begins again,
the Decay that fertilizes the Living.
I am the Bottomless Pit,
the never-ending struggle to reclaim that which is denied.
I am the Key that unlocks every Door.
I am the Glory of Discovery,
for I am that which is hidden, secluded and forbidden.
Come to me at the Dark Moon and see that which can not be seen,
face the terror that is yours alone.
Swim to me through the blackest oceans
to the center of your greatest fears--
the Dark God and I will keep you safe.
Scream to us in terror, and yours will be the Power to Forbear.
Think of me when you feel pleasure, and I will intensify it,
until the time when I may have the greatest pleasure
of meeting you at the Crossroads Between the Worlds.
