The Wiccan Rede

There are many copies of the Wiccan Rede, all with small differences, this one is my own, basically the same to all the others I have seen...

"Bide the Wiccan laws ye must in perfect love and perfect trust.
Live and let live - fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the circle thrice about to keep the evil spirits out.
To bind the spell every time, let the spell be spake in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch - speak thee little, listen much.
Deosil goes by the waxing moon - sing and dance the Witches rune.
Widdershins go when the moon doth wane, and the werewolf's howl by the dread wolfs bane.
When the Lady's moon is new, kiss the hand to her times two.
When the Moon rides at her peek, then your heart's desire seek.
Heed the North winds mighty gale - lock the door and drop 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.
When the West wind blows o'er thee, departed souls restless be.
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 - let the Beltane fires burn.
When the wheel has turned to Yule, light the log and let Pan rule.
Heed ye flower, bush and tree - by the Lady blessed be.
Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone and truth ye'll know.
When ye have a true need, hearken 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 enow, wear the blue star on thy brow.
True in love ever be unless thy lover's false to thee.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill - an it harm none, do what ye will."
