The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Bide the Wiccan laws ye must

In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust

Live and let live

Freely take and freely give

Cast the circle thrice about

To keep all 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

Sing and dance the Wiccan 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 northwind'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 east

Expect the new and set the feast

When the west wind blows o'er thee

Departed spirits restless be

Nine woods in the cauldron go

Burn them fast and burn them slow

Elder be ye Lady's tree

Burn it not or cursed ye'll be

When the wheel begins to turn

Let the Beltaine fires burn

When the wheel has turned to Yule

Light the log and let Pan rule

Heed ye flower, bush and tree

By the Lady, Blessed be

Where the rippling waters go

Cast a stone and truth ye'll knowThe Rede of the Wicca

When ye have a need

Hearken not to others' greed

With the fool no season spend

Nor be counted as his friend

Merry meet and merry part

Bright the cheeks and warm the heart

Mind the Threefold Law ye 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

Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill

An' it harm none, do what ye will

Hark unto me: for I am He who has existed throughout all time. I was there

from the beginning; it was my potency that charged the fertility of the Great

Mother and created life from her empty womb.



Myself it is in the winds that sweep the worlds; myself it is in the flames

that give warmth and light to all beings. I am he who provides: the Green Man of

field and forest fruitfulness; the lust of the bull that engenders life upon the

cow; the strength of the boar that engenders life upon the sacred sow of

Ceriddwen; the speed of the stag running free in the forest that no hunter can

bring down save he who speaks the sacred words to call unto the spirit of the

fleeing stag.



I am Lord of the Dance; he who swirls through the starry universe with the

world at his heels. I am he who dances on mountain and plain and hearth, and he

who captures all things in his dance.



And I am also Kernnun the Dark Hunter; he with visage as dark as void and

armour bright with flame. My name is Lord of the Hunt; my prey those souls who

needs must die and descend into the dark, chthonic depths of my bowel. For I

bring life but death also; I am he at the gateway of the worlds, and to me shalt

thou come in the end, thou who art my child and my prey.

The Dark Goddess speaks to us,

through the mouths of Lilith, Kali, Tiamet, Hecate,

Nix, the Black Madonna, Nemesis and Morgaine.



I am the Darkness behind and beneath the shadows.

I am the absence of air that awaits at the bottom of every breath.

I am the Ending before Life begins again,

the Decay that fertilizes the Living.

I am the Bottomless Pit,

the never-ending struggle to reclaim that which is denied.

I am the Key that unlocks every Door.

I am the Glory of Discovery,

for I am that which is hidden, secluded and forbidden.



Come to me at the Dark Moon and see that which can not be seen,

face the terror that is yours alone.

Swim to me through the blackest oceans

to the center of your greatest fears--

the Dark God and I will keep you safe.

Scream to us in terror, and yours will be the Power to Forbear.

Think of me when you feel pleasure, and I will intensify it,

until the time when I may have the greatest pleasure

of meeting you at the Crossroads Between the Worlds.
