The Wiccan Rede The Wiccan Rede
The Wiccan Rede acknowledges the right of all people to practice their own path of spirituality. As long as that path does not bring harm or injury to any living being. The term rede is derived from the Old English term roedan "to guide or direct".

The exact origin of the Wiccan Rede is uncertain, but no one can argue it has grown and kept pace with the many influencing traditions practiced today.

Many witches today confuse the Wiccan Rede with the longer version of the Credo.

The Wiccan Rede itself is only 2 lines,
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill,
An' in it harm none, do what ye will.


The Wiccan Credo however, is considerably longer. The Credo dates to more recent times and scholars suggest it came to form in an effort to make modern Witchcraft more acceptable to the public.

The Wiccan Credo should be adhered to as it's words hold significant insights to Wiccan practices and beliefs.

The Credo

Bide the Wiccan Laws we 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 but little, listen much.

Deosil go by waxing moon,
Chanting out the Witches' Rune.
Widdershins go by waning moon,
Chanting out the baneful rune.

When the Lady's moon is new,
Kiss thy hand to Her, times two.
When the moon rides at her peak,
Then your heart's desire seek.

Heed the North wind's 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 West,
Departed souls will have no rest.
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 the Lady's tree,
Burn it not or cursed you'll be.

When the Wheel begins to turn,
Let the Bealtaine fires burn.
When the Wheel has turned to Yule,
Light the log, the Horned One rules.

Heed ye Flower, Bush and Tree,
By the Lady, Blessed Be.
Where the rippling waters go,
Cast a stone and truth you'll know.

When ye have a true need,
Hearken not to others' greed.
With a fool no season spend,
Lest ye be counted as his friend.

Merry Meet and Merry Part,
Bright the cheeks and warm the heart.
Mind the Threefold Law you should,
Three times bad and three times good.

When misfortune is endow,
Wear the blue star on thy brow.
True in Love ever be,
Lest thy lover's false to thee.

Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
An' it harm none,
Do what ye will.
Blessed Be to thee.
