The Witches Rede of Chivalry:
In so far as the Craft of the wise is the most ancient and most honorable creed of humankind. It behooves all who are witches to act in ways that give respect to the old gods, to their sisters and brothers of the craft, and to themselves. Therefore, be it noted that:
Chivalry is a high code of honor, which is of most ancient pagan origin, and must be lived by all who follow thee old ways.
It must be known that thoughts and intent put forth on this middle-earth will wax strong in otherworlds beyond, and return...bringing into creation, on this world, that which had been sent for. Thus one should exercise discipline, for "As ye do plant, so shall ye harvest".
It is only by preparing our minds to be as Gods that we can ultimately attain godhead.
"This above all...to thine own self be true."
A Witch's word must have the validity of a signed and witnessed oath. Thus they give word sparingly, but adhere to it like iron.
Refrain from speaking ill of others, for not all truths of the matter may not be known.
Pass not unverified words about another, for hearsay is, in a large part, a thing of falsehoods.
Be thou honest with others, and have them know that honesty is likewise expected of them.
The fury of the moment plays folly with the truth; to keep one's head is a virtue.
Contemplate always the consequences of thine acts upon others. Strive not to harm.
Diverse covens may well have diverse news on love between members and with others. When a coven, clan, or grove is visited or joined, one should discern quietly their practices and abide thereby.
Dignity, a gracious manner, and a good humor are much to be admired. As a Witch thou hast power, and powers wax strongly as wisdom increases. Therefore exercise discretion in the use thereof.
Courage and honor endure forever. Their echoes remain when the mountains have crumbled to dust.
Pledge friendship and fealty to those who so warrant. Strengthen other of the brethren and they shall strengthen thee. Thou shall not reveal secrets of another Witch to another coven. Others have labored long and hard for them and cherish them as treasures.
Though there may be differences between those of the Old Ways, those who are once-born must see nothing and must bear nothing.
Those who follow the mysteries should be above reproach in the eyes of the world.
The laws of the land should be obeyed whenever possible and with reason, for in the main they have been chosen with wisdom.
Have pride in thyself and seek perfection in body and in mind. For the Lady has said, "How can thou honor another unless thou give honor to thyself first?" Those who seek the mysteries should consider themselves as select of the Gods, for it is they who lead the race of humans to the highest thrones and beyond the very stars.

The Law Of Power:
Author: Scott Cunningham
The power shall not be used to bring harm, to injure or control others. But, if the need rises, the Power shall be used to protect your life and the lives of others.
The Power is used only as need dictates.
The Power can be used for your own gain, as long as by doing so you harm none.
It is unwise to accept money for use of the Power, for it quickly controls its taker. Be not as those of other religions.
Use not the Power for prideful gain, for such cheapens the mysteries of Wicca and magic.
Ever remember that the Power is the sacred gift of the Goddess and God, and should never be misused or abused.

Lords Prayer In Aramaic
Translation by Neil Douglas-Klotz in Prayers of the CosmosO Birther! Father - Mother of the Cosmos
Focus your light within us - make it useful.
Create your reign of unity now-
through our fiery hearts and willing hands
Help us love beyond our ideals
and sprout acts of compassion for all creatures.
Animate the earth within us: we then
feel the Wisdom underneath supporting all.
Untangle the knots within
so that we can mend our hearts' simple ties to each other.
Don't let surface things delude us,
But free us from what holds us back from our true purpose.
Out of you, the astonishing fire,
Returning light and sound to the cosmos.
Amen.
Lords Prayer, from Aramaic into Old English
Translation by G.J.R. Ouseley from The Gospel of the Holy Twelve
Our Father-Mother Who art above and within:
Hallowed be Thy Name in twofold Trinity.
In Wisdom, Love and Equity Thy Kingdom come to all.
Thy will be done, As in Heaven so in Earth.
Give us day by day to partake of Thy holy Bread, and the fruit of the living Vine.
As Thou dost forgive us our trespasses, so may we forgive others who trespass against us.
Shew upon us Thy goodness, that to others we may shew the same.
In the hour of temptation, deliver us from evil.
Amun.
