The Wiccan Rede (long version)
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 and light of touch, Speak little, listen much.
Deosil go by the waxing moon, Chanting out the Witches' Rune.
Widdershins go by the waning moon, Chanting out the baneful rune.
When the Lady's moon is new, Kiss the hand to her, times two.
When the moon rides at her peak, Then your heart's desire seek.
Heed the North wind's mighty gale, Lock the door and drop the sail.
When the wind comes from the South, Love will kiss thee on the mouth.
When the wind blows from the West, Departed souls will have no rest.
When the wind blows from the East, Expect the new and set the feast.
Nine woods in the cauldron go, Burn them fast and burn them slow.
Elder be the Lady's 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 for the Horned One's
rule.
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's false to thee.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
An it harm none, do what ye will.
The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth
1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure that they
want to hear them.
3. When in another's lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without
mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden
to the person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have used it successfully to
obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called
upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject
yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers
you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
Anton Szandor LaVey, 1967 c.e
The Nine Satanic Statements
1. Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical
self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love
wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible, instead of
concern for psychic vampires!
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more
often worse than those that walk on all fours, who, because of his
"divine spiritual and intellectual development," has become the most
vicious animal of all!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to
physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
9. Satan is the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it
in business all these years!
LaVey, 1967, c.e. from the Satanic Bible
Spells
Basic Location Spell
Supplies:
4 blue candles
a goblet filled 3/4 of the way with water
jasmine incense
Procedure:
This is a basic spell to locate a missing item (or person). Put the four candles
around you: one north, one south, one east, one west. Light the candles and the
incense. Sit in the center of the candles, facing west. Put the goblet in front
of you. Invoke the element of water. Repeat 4 times: "Let the water show the
location of (item name)." Look into the water until a picture forms in your mind
of a location. That's where the you should start looking for the missing item.
Note: If you are not a "visual" person, you might not see a location, but you
should get a feeling of some type
Finding Spell
Supplies:
Green candle
Green stone
Time:
Full moon
Procedure:
Cast your circle. Light the green candle for luck and prosperity. Hold the green
stone in your power hand and charge it with your desire to find your missing
property. Fell the power flowing into the stone as you slowly chant the
following three times:
I Pray to the Moon when she is round
Luck to me shall then abound
What I seek for shall then be found
In sea or sky or solid ground
Carry the stone with you at all times until the lost item is recovered.
Spell to Find Lost Objects
Supplies:
Mirror
Orange candle
Black candle
Small Magnet
Procedure:
Cast your circle and invoke the Elemental Guardians. Light the black candle (for
solving mysteries, and drawing away the negativeness of the loss), and then the
orange candle (for luck and precious objects). Visualize the lost object(s) in
the mirror as already being found. Place the magnet between the two candles and
stroke it towards you as you say the following three times, substituting the
name of the lost object for "(lost object)":
By the wavering flame of this black light,
Grant to me of my (lost object) a sight.
By the power of this orange flame,
Give me luck to find the same.
In this mirror the (lost object) I see
Make the magnet draw them to me.
Close the circle, but leave the candles burning with the magnet between them
until the candles burn down.
