WICCAN REDE. :evilwitch:
(Reference Wicca Spirituality Webpage)

The Long Rede - In 1974 a complete twenty-six line poem entitled "The Wiccan Rede" was published in the neopagan magazine Earth Religion News. Each line contained a rhymed couplet laid out as a single line, the last line being the familiar "short rede" couplet beginning "Eight words...".

This poem was followed by another, slightly different version, entitled the "Rede of The Wiccae", which was published in 1975 Green Egg magazine from Lady Gwen Thompson. She ascribed it to her grandmother Adriana Porter, and claimed that the earlier published text was distorted from "its original form". The poem has since been widely circulated in varying lengths.


REDE OF THE WICCAE
(The Counsel of the Wise Ones)

Bide the Wiccan Law ye must,
In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust;

Live ye must and let to live,
Fairly take and fairly give.
True in love, ever be,
Lest thy love be false to thee.

With a fool no season spend,
Nor be counted as his friend.
Soft of eye and light of touch,
Speak ye little, listen much.

Ever mind the rule of three,
What ye send out comes back to thee.
This lesson well, thou must learn
Ye only get what ye do earn.

Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill โ€“
An it harm none, do as ye will.

Deosil go by waxing Moon,
Sing and dance the invoking Rune;
Widdershins go by waning Moon,
Chant ye then a freeing tune;

When the Lady's Moon is new, ๐ŸŒ’
Kiss thy hand to Her times two;
When the Bow rides in the eve ๐ŸŒ“
Turn to what you would achieve;

When the Moon rides at her peak, ๐ŸŒ•
Then thy heart's desire seek;
When the Sickle shows Her face ๐ŸŒ˜
Release the old with proper grace.

Heed the North wind's mighty gale,
Lock the door & trim the sail;
When the wind comes from the South,
Love will kiss thee on the mouth;

When the wind blows from the West,
Hearts will find their peace and rest;
When the wind blows from the East,
Expect the new and set the feast.

Nine woods in the Cauldron go,
Burn them quick and burn them slow;
Grape and fir and apple tree,
And Hawthorn are sacred to Thee,
Willow, hazel, rowan, birch,
And oak will guide your every search;
Elder be the Lady's tree โ€“
Burn it not or cursed ye'll be.

Birchwood in the fire goes
To tell us true what Goddess knows.
Oak trees tower great with might,
Burn the Oak for God's insight.
Rowan is a tree of power
Causing life and magick to flower.
Willows at the waters stand
To help us to the Summerland.
Hawthorn burn to purify
And draw the faerie to your eye.
Hazel tree, the wisdom sage,
Lends strength that comes with honoured age.
White the flowers of Apple tree,
The holy gift of fecundity.
Grape grows upon the fruitful vine,
Sacred gifts of joy and wine.
Fir's ever greenness declares life
Succeeds beyond any strife.

Heed ye flower, bush, and tree,
And by the Lady Blessed be.
Where the rippling waters flow
Cast a stone and truth ye'll know;

Four times the Major Sabbats mark
In the light and in the dark:
As the old year dies again
The new begins at dark Samhain. ๐ŸŽƒ

When flowers blossom through the snow๐Ÿฆ”
Fair Brighid casts her seed to sow.
When winter yields to warmth's return
Let the Beltane fires burn. ๐Ÿ”ฅ
As summer turns to Lammas night ๐Ÿž
First fruits and Grain Gods reach their height.

Four times the Minor Sabbats fall
Use the Sun to mark them all:
At Yuletide, with feast and mirth โ›„๏ธ
We celebrate the God Child's birth.
Spring Equinox, Eostara's fest, ๐Ÿ‡
All newborn creatures will be blessed.
When the Sun has reached its height
Celebrate the greatest Light. โ˜€๏ธ
Offer thanks at second reaping;
Mabon poised for winter's keeping. ๐Ÿ’

Cast the circle thrice about,
To keep unwelcome spirits out.
To bind the spell well every time,
Let the spell be spake in rhyme.

Follow this with mind & art,
Bright the cheeks and warm the heart,
And merry meet & merry part
And merry meet again!

THE LEGEND OF THE DESCENT OF THE GODDESS

The earliest published text of the myth is given by Gerald Gardner in Witchcraft Today . He called it "The Myth of the Goddess." He also published it as an appendix to The Meaning of Witchcraft. โ€œG." stands for the oath-bound, secret name of the Goddess used by the Gardnerians. If youโ€™re interested then look up the Descent of Inanna for the oldest known historical version โœณ๏ธ https://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-l ... ece-007296

๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ—๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ—๐Ÿž๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ—

Now G. had never loved, but she would solve all mysteries, even the mystery of Death, and so she journeyed to the nether lands. The guardians of the portals challenged her. "Strip off thy garments, lay aside thy jewels, for nought may ye bring with you into this our land." So she laid down her garments and her jewels and was bound as are all who enter the realms of Death, the mighty one.

Such was her beauty that Death himself knelt and kissed her feet, saying: "Blessed be thy feet that have brought thee in these ways. Abide with me, but let me place my cold hand on thy heart." And she replied: "I love thee not. Why doest thou cause all things that I love and take delight in to fade and die?" "Lady," replied Death, "'tis age and fate, against which I am helpless. Age causes all things to wither; but when men die at the end of time, I give them rest and peace and strength so that they may return. But you, you are lovely. Return not; abide with me." But she answered: "I love thee not." Then said Death: "As you receive not my hand on your heart, you must receive Death's scourge." "It is fate, better so," she said, and she knelt. Death scourged her and she cried: "I know the pangs of love." And Death said: "Blessed be," and gave her the fivefold kiss, saying: "Thus only may you attain to joy and knowledge."

And he taught her all the mysteries, and they loved and were one; and he taught her all the magics. For there are three great events in the life of man--love, death and resurrection in the new body -- and magic controls them all. To fulfill love you must return again at the same time and place as the loved ones, and you must remember and love her or him again. But to be reborn you must die and be ready for a new body; to die you must be born; without love you may not be born, and this is all the magic."

Aradia Creation Myth
Reference Wikipedia

Leland's Aradia

Main articles: Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches and Witch-cult hypothesis
In 1899, the American folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland published Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, a book which he claimed was the religious text belonging to a group of Tuscan witches who venerated Diana as the Queen of the Witches. He also claimed that he had been given the book by a Tuscan woman named Maddalena, although historians such as Ronald Hutton have disputed the truth of these such claims.

Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches begins with the tale of Aradia's birth to Diana and Lucifer, who is described as "the god of the Sun and of the Moon, the god of Light (Splendour), who was so proud of his beauty, and who for his pride was driven from Paradise". Diana instructs Aradia to "go to earth below / To be a teacher unto women and men / Who fain would study witchcraft." When Aradia descends, she becomes the first of all witches, and promises her students that "ye shall all be freed from slavery, / And so ye shall be free in everything."

Leland also equates Aradia with Herodias, explaining his speculation that Herodias was actually Lilith: "This was not ... derived from the Herodias of the New Testament, but from an earlier replica of Lilith, bearing the same name ... So far back as the sixth century the worship of Herodias and Diana by witches was condemned by a Church Council at Ancyra." Pipernus and other writers have noted the evident identification of Herodias with Lilith. Historian Ronald Hutton suggests in Triumph of the Moon that this identification with Herodias was inspired by the work of Jules Michelet in Satanism and Witchcraft. Anthropologist and field folklorist Sabina Magliocco, on the other hand, is willing to consider a connection between the Italian Erodiade (Herodias), the Cult of Herodias, the night assembly, and Aradia.

I wouldnt be killing the tree, just taking a small part of it. I dont know my gods or goddess other than arthemis yet but i know nature is integral to me. I do like the idea of making or buying a bird house to place in the tree for which im harvesting the wood from. I would take fallen branches but they get soaked and ruined easily

โ€œAs you seem to have the fountain of information. How would you go about cutting wood from a tree as part of making an altar? I have a table top that im going to cut to my desired shape. I know how to dry out the wood and treat it with beeswax, but how do you go about actually harvesting the wood directly from the tree to avoid moisture from the ground?

devon
โ€

Response:

I donโ€™t know about cutting & drying fresh cut wood to keep it from warping. You might ask at Loweโ€™s or Home Depot.

To cut a branch ask permission & leave an offering. Your intent will honor the life force. You might wipe the Sawโ€™s blade down with alcohol so you don't transfer any tree diseases. I do that when pruning roses from bush to bush. Also the Land is already sacred and you are asking to take something from a living being.

I like your idea of the bird house :mrgreen:

Edit: hmm, I thought about this overnight. I did a head smack as I remembered I had consecrated my gardening tools. But I used them again and again in the same location, as you would use altar tools again and again at the location of your altar. So, I'm gonna fudge out and say it's up to you. Your intent at the occasion of a one-time pruning is sufficient for the purpose, IMO.

EDIT: and leave an offering, of course. Doh. Whenever we glean from Nature we should leave an offering in exchange.

BESOM CHANT :flyingwitch:

Besom, Besom long and lithe
Made of ash and willow withe
Tied with thongs of willow bark
By running stream at moonset dark.
With the pentagram indighted
As the ritual fire is lighted;
Sweep ye circle, deosil,
Sweep out evil, sweep out ill,
Make the round of the ground
Where we do the Lady's will.

Besom, besom, Witches' (or: Lady's) broom
Sweep out darkness, sweep out doom
Rid ye Lady's hallowed ground
Of demons, imps and Hel's red hounds;
Then stand ye down on Her green earth
By running stream or Mistress' hearth,
'Till called upon at Sabbath night
To cleanse once more the dancing site.
So mote it be

Christian Magic & Witchโ€™s Craft

Thereโ€™s nothing in Christian thinking that prevents us from observing Nature & communing with the genius loci, spirt of the place, or from enjoying the changes of seasons. People of any religion can practice magic without summoning anything but sacred Earth ๐ŸŒŽ energy.

St Francis of Assisi gave us the Canticle of the Sun which can equate with a circle rite using the Sun & Moon to provide the duality a circle needs for power & addresses natural Elements. Purify your area ๐Ÿ”„ with holy water, bless with incense, point-&-push ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ to cast a circle โ†ฉ๏ธ; then say the Canticle;

Most high, all powerful, all good Lord! All praise is yours, all glory, all honor, and all blessing. To you, alone, Most High, do they belong. No mortal lips are worthy to pronounce your name.
+ Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures, especially through my lord Brother Sun, who brings the day; and you give light through him. And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendor! Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.
+ Be praised, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars; in the heavens you have made them, precious and beautiful.
+ (face East) Be praised, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air, and clouds and storms, and all the weather, through which you give your creatures sustenance.
+ (South) Be praised, my Lord, through Brother Fire, through whom you brighten the night. He is beautiful and cheerful, and powerful and strong.
+ (West) Be praised, My Lord, through Sister Water; she is very useful, and humble, and precious, and pure.
+ (North) Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Mother Earth, who feeds us and rules us, and produces various fruits with colored flowers and herbs...
+ Praise and bless my Lord, and give thanks, and serve him with great humility.


A Christian Witch might pray to The Father-Mother God and petition intercession of Angels & Saints through prayer-offerings. Look up prayers honoring Archangels, Guardian Angel & Patron Saints. Look up a list of patron-saints. Whatโ€™s a votive rack but candle magic? Christians & candle magic just go together๐Ÿ˜‰.

You could use Moon-light-charged water for DIY Holy Water. Bless salt & water separately In the Names of the (+)Father-Mother, (+)Son and (+)Holy Spirit, I charge you creature of salt/water with the power to dispel all harmful forces.
