      From: @              Bide ye wiccan laws you must,        in perfect love and perfect trust               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 spake in rhyme        Soft of eye and light of touch,        speak ye little, listen much               Deosil go by the 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 heart's desire seek        Heed 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 ye'll be               When the wheel begins to turn,        soon ye beltane fires will burn        When the whell hath turned a 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, the thruth ye'll know               When ye have and hold a need,        harken 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 ye threefold law ye should,        three times bad and three times good               When misfortune is enow,        wear the star upon they brow        True in love must ye ever be,        lest thy love be false to thee              These eight words the wiccan rede fulfill;        An harm ye none, do what ye will              (1611)              Iesus Christ              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
