DEOSIL GO BY THE WAXING MOON        WHERE THE RIPPLING WATERS GO         
CHANTING OUT THE WICCAN RUNE        CAST A STONE AND THE TRUTH YE'LL KNOW
                                                                         
WIDDERSHINS GO BY THE WANING MOON   WHEN YE HAVE AND HOLD A NEED

WHEN THE LADY'S MOON IS NEW         WITH A FOOL NO SEASON SPEND          
KISS THE HAND TO HER TIMES TWO      NOR BE COUNTED AS HIS FRIEND

HEED THE NORTH WIND'S MIGHTY GALE   MIND THE THREEFOLD LAW YE SHOULD     
LOCK THE DOOR AND TRIM THE SAIL     THREE TIMES BAD AND THREE TIMES GOOD

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS FROM THE WEST   TRUE IN LOVE MUST YE EVER BE         
DEPARTED SOULS WILL SAFELY REST     LEST THY LOVE BE FALSE TO THEE       
                                                                         
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS FROM THE EAST   THESE EIGHT WORDS THE REDE FULFILL   
EXPECT THE NEW AND SET THE FEAST    "AN YE HARM NONE, DO WHAT YE WILL."
