The Rede of the Lightworker

(Interplanetary Internationale version of the Wiccan Rede poem)

Bide the First Principles you must
In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust.
Live you must and let to live,
Fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the Circle thrice about
To keep unwelcome spirits out.
To bind the spell well every time,
Let the spell be said in rhyme.
Light of eye and soft of touch -
Speak little, listen much.
Honor the Old Ones in deed and name,
Let love and light be our guides again.
Deosil go by the waxing Moon -
Sing and dance the sacred rune.
Widdershins go when the Moon doth wane,
and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane.
When the Lady's Moon is new,
Kiss thy 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 trim the sail.
When the wind blows from the East,
Expect the new and set the feast.
When the wind comes from the South,
Love will kiss thee on the mouth.
When the West wind blows over thee,
Departed spirits restless be.
Nine woods in the Cauldron go -
Burn them quick and burn them slow.
Elder is the Lady's tree -
Burn it not or cursed you'll be.
When the time for Imbolc shows
Watch for flowers through the snows.
In the spring, when night equals day
Time for Ostara to come our way.
When the wheel begins to turn
Soon the Beltane fires will burn.
When the Sun has reached its height
Time for Oak and Holly to fight.
As the wheel turns to Lamas night
Power is brought to magick rite.
Harvesting comes to one and all
When the Autumn Equinox does fall.
On October Revolution Day
Honor the heroes of the Bolshevik way.
When the wheel has turned to Yule
Light the log and let Pan rule.
Heed the flower, bush and tree -
By the Lady Blessed Be.
Where the rippling waters go
Cast a stone and truth you'll know.
When you have and hold a need,
Hearken not to others' greed.
With a fool no season spend
Or 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
Unless thy lover's false to thee.
These Eight words the Rede fulfill:
An' it harm none, do what ye will.
