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 spoke in rhyme
Soft of eye and light of touch
speak ye little, listen much.

Deosil go by 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 hearts desire seek
Head 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 you'll be.
When the wheel begins to turn
soon ye Beltane fires burn
When the wheel hath turned to Yule
light the log the Horned ones rules.

Heed ye flowers bush and tree
by the Lady Blessed Be
where the rippling waters go
cast a stone the truth ye'll know.

When you have and hold a need
harken not to others gred
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 you should
three times bad and three times good.

When misfortune is enow
wear the star above thy brow
True in love must ye ever be
lest thy love be false to thee.

These eight words thy rede fulfill
An harm ye none, do what ye will.
