Bide with kindness in all you do,
and let your craft be rooted in care.
Speak with truth, walk with balance,
and honor the turning of moon and season.
Guard your energy, keep your boundaries,
and act with courage tempered by wisdom.
Take only what is needed,
give thanks for what is given,
and mend what you can along the way.
In spell and in silence, in shadow and in light,
let your will be guided by compassion:
An it harm none, do what ye will.
and let your craft be rooted in care.
