Abide in the law ye must,
in perfect love and in perfect trust,
Live you must and Let to Live,
fairly you receive fairly you give.
For tread the circle three times
to keep unwelcomed spirits out.
To bind the spell well every time,
let the spell be said  in rhyme.
Light of eye and soft of touch,
speak you little, listen much.
Honor the old ones in deed and in name,
let love and light be our guides again.
Deosil go by the waxing moon,
chanting out a joyful tune.
Widdershins go when the moon doth wane,
and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane.
When the  Lady's moon is new,
kiss the hand to Her times two.
When the moon rides to Her
peak then your hearts desire seek.
Heed the north winds mighty gale,
lock the door trim the sail.
When the wind blows from the East,
expect the new and set the feast.
When the wind blows from the south,
love will kiss on the mouth.
When the wind whispers from the west,
all hearts will find peace and rest.

When the Sun has reached it's height
time for the oak and holly to fight.
Harvesting comes to one and all when the
Autumn Equinox does fall.
Heed the flower, the bush, and the tree
By the Lady Blessed be you all.
Where the rippling  waters go cast a stone,
truth you'll know.
when you 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 MerryPart 
bright the checks and warm the heart.
Mind the The Three fold Laws
you should three times bad
and three times the good.
When misfortune enow
wear the star upon your brow.
Be true in love this you must do
unless your love is false to you.
Eight words of the Rede fulfill
"And ye harm none, do what ye will"
