The Laws
We are of the Old Ways, among those who walk with the Goddess and
God and receive Their love.
Keep the Sabbats and Esbats to the best of your abilities, for
to do otherwise is to lessen your connection with the Goddess and the God.
Harm none. This, the oldest law, is not open to interpretation
or change.
Shed not blood in ritual; the Goddess and God need not blood
to be duly worshipped.
Those of our ways are kind to all creatures, for hurtful thoughts
are quite draining and aren't worth the loss of energy.
Misery is self created; so, too, is joy, so create joy and disdain
misery and unhappiness. And this is within your power. So harm not.
Teach only what you know, to the best of your ability, to those
students who you choose, but teach not to those who would use your instructions for destruction or control. Also, teach not
to boost pride, forever remember; She who teaches out of love shall be enfolded in the arms of the Goddess and God.
Ever remember that if you would be of our way, keep the law
close to your heart, for it is our nature to keep the Law.
If ever the need arises, any law may be changed or discarded, and
new laws written to replace them so long as the new laws don't break th oldest law of all: Harm None.

The Law of Power
The Power shall not be used to bring harm, to injure or control
others.
But if the need arises, the Power shall be used to protect your
life or the lives of others.
The Power is used only as need dictates.
The Power can be used for personal 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 Magick.
Ever remember that the Power is the sacred gift of the Goddess
and God, and should never be misused or abused.
And this is the Law of the Power.
