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 light of touch,speak little, listen much. Deosil go by the waxing moon,chanting out the Witches Rune. Winddershind go by the waning moon,chanting out the baneful rune. When the Ladys moon is new,kiss the hand to her time two. When the moon rides at her peak then your hearts desire seek. Heed the north winds mighty gale, lock the door and drop the sail. When the wind comes from the south, love will kiss thee on thy mouth. When the wind blows from the west, departed souls will have no rest. Nine woods in the cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow. Elder be the Ladys tree, burn it not or cursed you'll be. When the wheel begins to turn let the Beltane 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 enow, wear the blue star on thy brow. True in love ever be, lest thy lover be false to thee. Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An' ye harm none, do what ye will. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| THE LAW OF THREE | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
Intenet without action is worthless, and action without intent is worse than useless...it can be harmful.When our actions are true expressions of our intentions, our wills, we are doing magick. The Rule Of Three illustrates the power under lying our intentions. Everything we do is returned threefold. The ethical directive of the WiccanRede is balanced by the moral guide of the Rule of Three, without lengthy lists of prohibitions or "sins". Our intent determines the approach we take to life. Our actions determine the responce life takes to us. While the Rede is an ethical statement the Law of Three is a moral one. We cannont ask for what we ourselves do not offer others. Think of it as applied common sense; our actions ripple out from us touching countless other lives in one way or another.Every good deed we do, every helping hand we lend, and every time we act responsibly, we improve our society by fostering an environment in which positive actions begin to out number negitive ones. The Rule of Three is not a mandate to become a pacifist. Rather it's a challenge to find a constructive positive way to deal with the situations we all face in the course of our lives. We are all still part of the world, and our relationships with other people are still very much our sequence of our actions and fruit of our intentions. The Rule of Three demonstrates the importance of right intent, and reveals the secret to bringing out real prosperity. Every little thing we do comes back to us. When applied along side the Rede, we are given a goal to work towards, that of doing good, of helping others, and of making the world a better place. Wicca is a lifestyle as much as a religion. Its lessons are best learned by experiencing them. EVER MIND THE RULE OF THREE THREE TIMES WHAT THOU GIVEST RETURNS TI THEE THIS LESSON WELL, THOU MUST LEARN THE ONLY GETS WHAT THOU DOST EARN. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
