The Witches' Rune
 
Darksom night and shining moon,
Hearken to the Witches' rune.
East, then south, then west. then north,
Here I call ye to come forth.
 
Earth and water, air and fire,
Work ye unto my desire.
Wand and Pentacle and Sword
Hearken ye unto my word.
 
Cords and Censor, Scourge and Knife,
Waken all ye into life.
Powers of the Witch's blade,
Come ye as the charm is made.
 
Queen of Heaven, Queen of Hell,
Lend your aid unto the spell.
Horned Hunter of the Night,
Work my will by magic rite.
 
By all the power of land and sea,
As I do will, so mote it be.
By all the might of moon and sun,
Chant the spell and be it done.

Charge of the Star Goddess

Hear ye the words of the Star Goddess. She, in the dust of whose feet are the Hosts of Heaven, whose body encircleth the universe.

I who am the beauty of the Green Earth, and

the White Moon amongst the stars and the

mystery of the Waters, and the desire of the

heart of man, I call unto thy soul to arise and

come unto me. For I am the Soul of Nature

who giveth live to the universe; from me all

things proceed and unto me all things must

return. Beloved of the Gods and men, whose

innermost divine self shall be enfolded in the

raptures of the Infinite, let my worship be in

the heart. Regoiceth, for behold, all acts of

love and pleasure are my rituals; therefore,

let there be beauty and strength--power and

compassion--honor and humility, mirth and

reverence--within you. And thou who think-

est to seek me, know that thy seeking and

yearning avail thee not unless thou knowest

the mystery, that if that which thou seekest

thou findeth not within thyself, thou wilt

never find it without thee. For behold--

I have been with thee from the beginning,

and I am that which is attained at the end

of desire.

Ancient Wiccan Grace

Answer us, O Ancient Horned One,

Provender and power are Thine.

Hear and answer, Gracious Goddess,

Grant us laughter, wit and wine,

Descend on us, O Thou of blessings,

Come among us, make us glad.

Since Thou art Chief of our creation,

Why, O Why should we be sad?

Beam on us, O joyous Bacchus,

Banish heavy-hearted hate.

Accept our Craft, O Greatest Mother,

Let cheerful brightness be our fate.

SO MOTE IT BE!

The Law of Power

The power shall not be used to bring harm, to injure or control others. but if the need arises, the power shall be used to protect your life or the lives of others. The power is used as only need dictates. The power can be used for your own gain, as long as 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 a sacred gift of the goddess and the god and should never be misused or abused. This is the Law of Power.

The Wiccan Key
 

Our past forgotten hiding in shadows
too scared to leave.
Like conjurers we weave the lights of day
through all hours of the night.
I call you noow upon the rivers of the wind,
and the heart beats.
I beckon you to me.
The ability to know,
the strength to dare.
The fortitude to will and secrets kept
I enter upon the path of light.
With strength and conviction the Gods await me.
I fear not what must come.
Power be mine forever in time.
In this will I see the Wiccan key
So mote it be!

Wiccan Rede of Chivalry

This code is given to all witches to follow and a sign of respect towards the deities and to their brothers and sisters within the craft.

1. Chivalry is a high code of honor, which is of most ancient pagan origin, and must be lived by all who follow the Old Ways.

2. It must be kenned that thoughts and intent put forth on this Middle-Earth will wax strong in other worlds beyond, and return-bringing into creation on this world, that which has been sent forth. Thus one should exercise discipline, for " as yea plant, so shall yea harvest"

3. It is only that by preparing our minds to be as Gods that we can ultimately attain godhead.

4. This above all "to thine ownself be true"

5. A witch's word must have the validness of a signed and witnessed oath. Thus give your word sparingly, and adhere to it like iron.

6. Refrain from speaking ill of others, for not all truths of the matter may be known.

7. Pass not unverified words about another, for hearsay is, in large part, a thing of falsehoods.

8. Be thou honest with others, and have them know that honestly likewise is expected from them.

9. The fury of the moment plays folly with the truth, to keep ones head is a virtue.

10. Contemplate always the consequences of thine acts upon others. Strive not to harm !

THIRTEEN GOALS OF A WITCH

1. WE PRACTICE RITES TO ATTUNE OURSELVES WITH THE NATURAL
RHYTHM OF LIFE FORCES MARKED BY THE PHASES OF THE MOON AND
THE SEASONAL QUARTERS AND CROSS QUARTERS.

2. WE RECOGNIZE THAT OUR INTELLIGENCE GIVES US A UNIQUE RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS OUR ENVIRONMENT. WE SEEK TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE, IN ECOLOGICAL BALANCE OFFERING FULFILLMENT TO LIVE AND CONSCIOUSNESS WITHIN AN EVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT.

3. WE ACKNOWLEDGE A DEPTH OF POWER FAR GREATER THAN THAT APPARENT TO THE AVERAGE PERSON. BECAUSE IT IS FAR GREATER THAN ORDINARY IT IS SOMETIMES CALLED *SUPERNATURAL* BUT WE SEE IT AS LYING WITHIN THAT WHICH IS NATURALLY POTENTIAL FOR ALL.

4. WE CONCEIVE OF THE CREATIVE POWER IN THE UNIVERSE AS MANIFESTING THROUGH POLARITIES MASCULINE AND FEMININE- AND THAT THIS SAME CREATIVE POWER LIES IN ALL PEOPLE, AND FUNCTIONS THROUGH THE INTERACTION OF THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE. WE VALUE NEITHER ABOVE THE OTHER, KNOWING EACH TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF THE OTHER. WE VALUE SEX PLEASURE, AS THE SYMBOL AND EMBODIMENT OF LIFE, AND AS ONE OF THE SOURCES OF ENERGIES USED IN MAGICKAL PRACTICE AND RELIGIOUS WORSHIP

5. WE RECOGNIZE BOTH OUTER WORLDS AND INNER, OR PSYCOLOGICAL WORLDS SOMETIMES KNOWN AS THE SPIRITUAL WORLD, THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS, INNER PLANES, ECT..AND WE SEE IN THE INTER-ACTION OF THESE TWO DIMENSIONS THE BASIS FOR PARANORMAL PHENOMENA AND MAGICKAL EXERCISES. WE NEGLECT NEITHER DIMENSION FOR THE OTHER, SEEING BOTH
AS NECESSARY FOR OUR FULFILLMENT.

6. WE DO NOT RECOGNIZE ANY AUTHORITARIAN HIERARCHY, BUT DO HONOR THOSE WHO TEACH, RESPECT THOSE WHO SHARE THEIR GREATER KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM AND ACKNOWLEDGE THOSE WHO HAVE COURAGEOUSLY GIVEN OF THEMSELVES IN LEADERSHIP.

7. WE SEE RELIGION, MAGICK AND WISDOM IN LIVING AS BEING UNITED IN THE WAY ONE VIEWS THE WORLD AND LIVES WITHIN- A WORLD VIEW AND PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE WHICH WE IDENTIFY AS WITCHCRAFT-THE WICCAN WAY.

8. CALLING ONESELF A *WITCH* DOES NOT A WITCH MAKE-BUT NEITHER DOES HEREDITY ITSELF, NOR THE COLLECING OF TITLES DEGREES AND INITIATIONS. A WITCH SEEKS TO CONTROL THE FORCES WITHIN HIM/HERSELF THAT MAKE LIFE POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO LIVE WISELY AND WELL WITHOUT HARM TO OTHERS AND IN HARMONY WITH NATURE.

9. WE BELIEVE IN HE AFFIRMATION AND FULFILLMENT OF LIFE IN A CONTINUATION OF EVOLUTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF CONSCIOUSNESS GIVING MEANING TO THE UNIVERSE WE KNOW AND OUR PERSONAL ROLE WITHIN IT.

10. OUR ONLY ANIMOSITY TOWARDS *CHRISTIANITY* OR TOWARDS CHRISTIANITY, OR TOWARDS ANY OTHER RELIGION OR PHILOSIPHY OF LIFE, IS TO THE EXTEND THAT ITS INSTITUTIONS HAVE CLAIMED TO BE *THE ONLY WAY* AND HAVE SOUGHT TO DENY FREEDOM TO OTHERS AND TO SUPRESS OTHER WAYS OF RELIGIOUS PRACTICE AND BELIEFS.

11. AS AMERICAN WITCHES, WE ARE NOT THREATENED BY DEBATES ON
THE HISTORY OF THE CRAFT, THE ORIGINS OF VARIOUS TERMS, THE LEGITIMACY OF VARIOUS ASPECTS OF DIFFERENT TRADITIONS. WE ARE CONCORDE WITH OUR PRESENT AND FUTURE.

12. WE DO NOT ACCEPT THE CONCEPT OF ABSOLUTE EVIL, NOR DO WE
WORSHIP ANY ENTITY KNOWN AS *SATAN* OR *THE DEVIL* AS DEFINED BY THE CHRISTIAN TRADITION. WE DO NOT SEEK POWER THROUGH THE SUFFERING OF OTHERS, NOT ACCEPT THAT PERSONAL BENEFIT CAN BE DERIVED ONLY BY DENIAL TO ANOTHER

13. WE BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD SEEK WITHIN NATURE THAT WHICH
IS CONTRIBUTORY TO OUR HEALTH AND WELL BEING
