Wiccan philosophy and ethics are summed up in the following "traditional" poem
that, for all intent, is a Wiccan Code of Conduct:
Bide the Wiccan Law ye must, In perfect love and perfect trust, Eight words the
Wiccan Rede fulfill, An' ye harm none, do what ye will, What ye send forth, comes
back to thee, So ever mind the Rule of Three, Follow this with mind and heart,
And Merry Meet and Merry Part!
An' is an archaic form of the word "if”; and "harm none" refers to all life on all
levels: physical, spiritual, magickal, mental, emotional, etc. The Wiccan Rede is a
reminder to live consciously and responsibly
