The
Wiccan Law 
-
We are
of the Old Ways, among those who walk with the Goddess and God and receive
Their love.
-
Keep the
Sabbats and Esbats to the best of your abilities, for to do otherwise is
to lessen your connection with the Goddess and God.
-
Harm none.
This, the oldest law, is not open to interpretation or change.
-
Shed not
blood in ritual; the Goddess and God need not blood to be duly worshipped.
-
Those
of our ways are kind to all creatures, for hurtful thoughts are quiet draining
and aren't worth the loss of energy.
-
Misery
is self-created; so, too, is joy, so create joy and disdain misery and
unhappiness. And this is within your power. So harm not.
-
Teach
only what you know, to the best of your ability, to those students who
you choose, butteach not to those who would use your instructions for destruction
or control. Also, teach notto boost pride, forever remember: She who teaches
out of love shall be enfolded in the arms of the Goddess and God.
-
Ever remember
that if you would be of our way, keep the law close to your heart, for
it is the nature of the Wicca to keep the Law.
-
If ever
the need arises, any law may be changed or discarded, and new laws written
to
-
replace
them, so long as the new laws don't break the oldest law of all: Harm None.
-
Blessings
of the Goddess and God on us all.

The
Wiccan Law
of
the
Power
-
The Power
shall not be used to bring harm, to injure or control others. But if the
need rises,the Power shall be used to protect your life or the lives of
others.
-
The Power
is used only as need dictates.
-
The Power
can be used for your own gain, as long as by doing so you harm none.
-
It is
unwise to accept money for use of the Power, for it quickly controls its
taker. Be not as those of other religions.
-
Use not
the Power for prideful gain, for such cheapens the mysteries of Wicca and
magick.
-
Ever remember
that the Power is the sacred gift of the Goddess and God, and should never
be misused or abused.
-
And this
is the law of the Power.
