Bide the Wiccan laws we must

In perfect love and perfect trust

Live and let live

Fairly take and fairly give

Soft of Eye and Light of Touch

Speak Little, listen much

When the lady moon is new

Kiss the hand to her, times two

When the moon rules at her peak

Then your heart's desire seek

Heed ye flower, bush and tree

By the Lady, Blessed Be

Where the rippling waters go

Cast a stone and truth you'll know

Merry ye meet and merry ye part

Bright the cheeks and warm the heart

Mind the threefold law you should

Threetimes bad and threetimes good

Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill

An' it harm none, do what you will

1. In all that you do, consider it's benefit or harm upon yourself, your children and your people.
2. All that which you do will return to you, sooner or later, for good or for ill. Thus strive always to do good to others or at least strive always to be just.
3. Be honest with yourself and with others. "This above all; to thine own self be true".
4. Humankind and especially your own family and folk has the spark of divinity within it. Protect and nurture that spark.
5. Give your word sparingly and adhere to it like iron.
6. In the world, your first trust and responsibility should be to your own people. Yet be kind and proper to others whenever possible.
7. What you have, hold.
8. Pass on to others only that which you have personally verified.
9. Be honest with others. Let them know that you expect honesty in return, always.
10. The fury of the moment plays folly with the truth. To keep one's head is a virtue.
11. Know which battles should be fought and which battles should be avoided. Also know when to break off a conflict. There are times when the minions of chaos are simply too strong or when fate is absolutely unavoidable.
12. When you gain power, use it carefully and use it well.
13. Courage and honour endure forever. Their echoes remain when the mountains have crumbled to dust.
14. Pledge friendship and services to those who are worthy. Strengthen others of your people. They will strengthen you.
15. Love and care for your family always and have the fierceness of a wolf in their protection.
16. Honour yourself, have pride in yourself, do your best and forgive yourself when you must.
17. Try always to be above reproach in the eyes of the world.
18. Those of our people should always endure to settle any differences among themselves quietly and peaceably.
19. The laws of the land should be obeyed whenever possible for in the main they have been chosen with wisdom.
20. Have pride in yourself, your family and your folk. They are your promise for the future.
21. Do not neglect your mate and children.
22. Everyone of our people should work according to the best that s/he can do, no matter how small or how great. We are all in this world together thus we must always help each other along.
23. One advances individually and collectively only by living in harmony with the natural order of the world.
24. The seeking of wisdom is a high virtue. Love of truth, honour and loyalty are hallmarks of the noble soul.
25. Be preprepared for whatever the future brings.
26. Life with all its joys, struggles and ambiguities is to be embraced and lived to the fullest.

1. Have more fun than anyone else.
2. Get some insight
3. Get some depth
4. Find a place to escape reality
5. Write something at the end of every day
6. Make yourself interesting
7. Live alone for awhile
8. Study the lives of the Saints
9. Treat yourself
10. Live as though you have nothing to lose

Lo there I see my father Lo there I see my mother My sisters and brothers Lo there I see the line of my people Back to the beginning Lo they do beckon me to join them In the Halls of Valhalla Where the brave may live Forever

Gospel of St. Thomas

And Jesus said,

"The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you, not in mansions of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and I am there. Lift a stone and you will find me."
