Hear now the word of the Witches, the secrets we hid in the night

_When dark was our destiny's pathway, That now we brung forth in the light.

Mysterious Water and Fire, The Earth and the wide-ranging Air,
By hidden Quintessence we know Them, and we will keep silent and dare.

The birth and rebirth of all Nature, the passing of Winter and Spring.
We share with the life Universal, rejoice in the Magical Ring

Four times in the year the Great Sabbat returns, and the Witches are seen
At Lammas and Candela dancing, on May Eve and old Halloween

When daytime and nighttime are equal, when sun is at greatest and least
The four lesser Sabbats are summoned, again Witches gather in feast.

Thirteen silver moons in a year are, thirteen is the Covens array.
Thirteen times at Esbat make merry, for each golden year and a day

The Power has paddes down the ages, each time between woman and man
Each century unto the other, ere times and the ages began

When darwn is the Magickal circle, by sword or athame of power
Its compass between two worlds lies, in the land of shades of that hour

Our world has no right to know it, and the world beyond will tell naught
The oldest of Gods are invoked there, the great work of Magic is wrought

For two are the mystical pillars, that stand at the gate of the shrine
And two are the powers of Nature, the forms and the forces divine

And do what thou wilt be the challenge, so be it in love that harms none
For this is the only commandment, By Magick of old be it done.

Eight words the Witches Creed fulfill;
If it Harms none, Do what Thou Will!_

"The Witches Rede" kallas denna för..

*Men har den något annat namn?

Här finns många varianter på just denna "The Witches Rede"!

t.ex. The Witches Rede of Chivalry

*Är intresserad av om någon här vet kanske nån annan variant på "The Witches Rede"?

Ibland kan man även se att de kallar "The Wicca Rede" för "The Witches Rede".

*Undrar också "The Witches Rede" (den jag skrev här ovan) har den något alls med Wicca att göra?

Väl Mött!
