As often as possible, hold the rites on deserted mountaintops. Listen to the whisperings of the wind and the roar of the water if ye are fain to learn the magick forests, by the sea, and in fragile herbs and the cries of wild birds or near tranquil lakes. If this be impossible, a garden or some chamber shall suffice, if it is readied with fumes or flowers.
Seek out wisdom in books, rare manuscripts and cryptic poems if you will, but seek it out also in simple stones, for it is here that the old secrets are preserved.
Books contain words; trees contain energies and wisdom that books ne�?er dreamt of.
Ever remember that the old ways are constantly revealing themselves. Therefore, be as the river willow that bends and sways with the wind. That which remains changeless shall out live its spirit, but that which evolves and grows will shine for always.
Mock not the rituals or spells of another, for who can say yours are greater in power and wisdom.
Be sure your actions are honourable, for all that you do shall return to you thrice fold, good or bane.
Be ever wary of one who would dominate you, who would control and manipulate you, in your workings and reverences. True reverences for the Goddess and the God occur with in. Look with suspicion on any who would twist worship from you for their own gain and glory, but welcome those priestesses and priests who are suffused with love.
Honour all living things, for we are of the bird, the fish and the bee. Destroy not life, save it be, to preserve your own.
And this be the Wiccan Ways.
