Blessed Be
Pagan verse
Bide within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust.
Live you must and
let to live, fairly take and fairly give.
For tread 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 you little, listen much.
Honour the Old
Ones in deed and name,
let love and light be our guides again.
Deosil go by the waxing
moon, chanting out the joyful tune.
Widdershins go when the moon doth wane,
and the
werewolf howls by the dread wolfs bane.
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 winds 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 you on the mouth.
When the wind whispers from the West, all hearts
will find peace and rest.
Nine woods in the Cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them
slow.
Birch in the fire goes to represent what the Lady knows.
Oak in the forest towers
with might, in the fire it brings the God's
insight.is a tree of power causing life
and magick to flower.
Willows at the waterside stand ready to help us to the Summerland.
Hawthorn
is burned to purify and to draw faerie to your eye.
Hazel-the tree of wisdom and learning
adds its strength to the bright fire burning.
White are the flowers of Apple tree
that brings us fruits of fertility.
Grapes grow on the vine giving us both joy and
wine.
Fir does mark the evergreen to represent immortality seen.
Elder is the Lady's
tree burn it not or cursed you'll be.
Four times the Major Sabbaths mark in the light
and in the dark.
As the old year starts to wane the new begins, it's now Samhain.
When
the time for Imbolc shows watch for flowers through the snows.
When the wheel begins
to turn soon the Beltane fires will burn.
As the wheel turns to Lamas night power
is brought to magick rite.
Four times the Minor Sabbaths fall use the Sun to mark
them all.
When the wheel has turned to Yule light the log the Horned One rules.
In
the spring, when night equals day time for Ostara to come our way.
When the Sun has
reached its height time for Oak and Holly to fight.
Harvesting comes to one and all
when the Autumn Equinox does fall.
Heed the flower, bush, and tree by the Lady blessed
you'll be.
Where the rippling waters go cast a stone, the truth you'll know.
When you
have and hold a need, harken 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 Three-fold Laws you should three times bad and three times good.
When misfortune
is enow wear the star on your brow.
Be true in love this you must do unless your love
is false to you.
These Eight words the Rede fulfil:
"An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"
