What is the Wiccan Rede?
The Wiccan Rede itself is only eight words: “An ye harm none, do what ye will”. Considered by Wiccans something like a code of conduct similar to the “Golden Rule” (the principle of treating others as you want to be treated). This belief exists in almost all religions and is also present in Wicca: As long as you don’t harm anyone, do what you wish.
This Wiccan Rede song was inspired by a poem based on it, but should not be confused with the Wiccan Rede itself, even though it refers to it. They are separate documents.
Who wrote the Wiccan Rede?
There is confusion as to who wrote the Wiccan Rede, because many different versions exist. Some are attributed to Lady Gwenny Thompson (who inherited it from Adriana Porter), others confuse her with “The Creed of the Witches” by Doreen Brave.
In its best known form as the “eight words” couplet, the Wiccan Rede was first publicly recorded in a 1964 speech by Doreen Valiente.
What does the Wiccan Rede teach?
Wiccan Rede Explained: There is a debate in the Neopagan and Wiccan community about the meaning of the Rede. The debate focuses on the concept that it is a piece of advise, not a commandment, as well as the fact that the actions that can cause harm are not discussed in the Wiccan Rede.
Thea Sabin mentions in her book “Wicca for Beginners: Fundamentals of Philosophy & Practice” that we must not focus on the word harm, but instead pay attention to our Will.
King Solomon said “the magician who knows the consequences of his actions will very unlikely to act in doing evil.”
The Wiccan Rede invites us to practice and be responsible, reminding us that in Wicca there are no believers, there are only practitioners, people who discover that True Will is Love. It should be noted, however, that not all traditional Wiccans follow the Rede itself.
What happen if witches break the Wiccan Rede?
The Law of 3 states that every good or bad action you do will be returned threefold (multiplied by three). The Rede is a guide which must be interpreted to fit it in each particular situation.
Within occult or metaphysical philosophy, there are three worlds: the Elemental, the Celestial, and the Intellectual. And humans are endowed with three intellectual powers: Memory, Understanding, and Will. We also ahve three essential factors of life: the Body, the Soul, and the Spirit.
With this we can understand that all actions are reflected in our body, soul and spirit. That is, everything will always tend to reflect beyond ourselves and therefore we must be consistent with our actions and accept it in the areas that are affected.
