The setting appears to be outdoors, with grass and trees visible under a clear sky. The overall tone of the image suggests a theme related to nature and possibly witchcraft or a spiritual group.

Much has been written and discussed about the historical roots, variations, and interpretations of what is known as the Wiccan Rede, the Rede of Wiccae, or the Witches Creed.

The debate continues among Pagans, Wiccans, and Witches, but one thing is certain: the ethics that Witches strive to live by are poetically and succinctly summed up in eight little words.


Understanding the Wiccan Creed
The Core Ethical Statement

“If it harms none, do what you will.”

These eight words, despite variations in spellings, hold the fundamental basis of how a Witch, or a Wiccan, should strive to live their life.

Although these words seem simple and the sentence they make up incredibly short, the instruction they give is very difficult to apply correctly to every aspect of daily life.

Some misread the instructions true meaning and take “do what you will” to mean that you can do absolutely anything you want without consequence. But the crux of the sentence is “if it harms none.”

Every action you take has a consequence and it is your duty to be mindful of any possible harm you may cause to others, to creatures, to the planet and to yourself.

Add to this the Threefold Law which states that any harm or good that a Witch, or anyone else for that matter, does to someone else comes back to harm or benefit them - magnified three times over.

It is of course impossible to cause absolutely no harm to everything and everyone. We need to eat food to keep healthy but harm may have been caused to produce that food, for example. This could be the harming of insects to produce healthy crops or even the harm caused to animals to provide food for meat eaters.

And what about self defense? Who could condemn the harming of the mosquito whose only aim in life is to harm us humans!

Commonsense needs to be applied to the ‘harm to none’ portion of the sentence. And that is why we here at the Green Witches Coven, amongst other Craft practitioners have incorporated the additional words of “If it causes harm, do as you must’.

Indoor Gathering: A cozy room with natural and candle lighting. Witch Hats: Individuals wearing witch hats around a table. Candles and Plants: Table adorned with candles; room filled with greenery. Mystical Decor: Shelves with various items, cauldron on the floor, enhancing the mystical theme.

The Simplicity and Complexity

 Although the sentence is incredibly short, the instruction is difficult to apply correctly to every aspect of daily life. Some misinterpret "do what you will" as a license to do anything without considering the consequences. However, the essence of the statement is “if it harms none.”


Considering Consequences

Every action has a consequence. It is the duty of a Witch to be mindful of any possible harm that may be caused to others, creatures, the planet, and oneself.


The Threefold Law

This principle states that any harm or good that a Witch, or anyone else for that matter, does to someone else will return to them, magnified three times over.


The Reality of Harm

It is impossible to cause no harm at all. For instance, producing food involves some level of harm, whether it is harming insects to grow healthy crops or animals to provide meat.


Self-Defense and Practicality

 Who could condemn harming a mosquito whose only aim is to harm us? Commonsense must be applied to the ‘harm to none’ portion of the statement.


Adaptation by the Green Witches Coven

Acknowledging these complexities, we at the Green Witches Coven, along with other Craft practitioners, have incorporated additional words: “If it causes harm, do as you must.”


Green Witches Coven Creed

Very old book.


Hear now these words we bestow

To dare, to will, to be silent, to know
Forget not what you reap is what you sow

Be fair to all with whom the planet you share
Give and take fairly and be always aware
To live and let live with kindness and care

The Wheel of the Year ye must celebrate
Honour what the God and Goddess create
Especially on the significant eight

Be ever mindful of the law of three
As good and bad come back to thee
Not just once but times by three

Stay clear of fools and their foolish mind
Lest you be counted amongst their kind
Your name with theirs forever entwined

Loving and faithful to a lover be
Give thought, word and deed in equal degree
But sever ties if they’re not true to thee

Honour thirteen moons throughout the year
Waxing and waning, new and sphere
Praise the Goddess and let her near

And when the moon is full to inspire
With aid from air, earth, water and fire
Chant in rhyme what you desire

The Witches Star keep in your mind
The five point pentacle and circle combined
To protect and guard against evil assigned

Respect and honour your body and mind
Exercise, eat well and treat yourself kind
Then happiness, confidence and peace you’ll find

Surround yourself with friends who are true
Be as kind and caring as they are to you
Then they’ll always be there for you to turn to

Think wisely, speak thoughtfully and listen much
To concentrate, meditate, affirm and such
Always apply a gentle touch

In these words you should place your trust
If it harms none, do what you will
If it causes harm, do as you must

The Interpretation of the Wiccan Creed

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse One

Hear now these words we bestow
To dare, to will, to be silent, to know
Forget not what you reap is what you sow

Successful Magic is dependent upon the principles underpinning the phrase of "To Know, To Dare, To Will and To Keep Silent". In order to combine all the necessary elements that make for successful Spell casting you must:

  • Know - Know yourself, have knowledge of the Craft and have clear in your mind what you want to achieve from a Spell.
  • Dare - Have the courage of your convictions, have confidence in your abilities and take the necessary actions to put all that you know to good use to make an effective Spell.
  • Will - So you may know what you want, have the courage to get it, but do you really, really want it? An intense desire is the will you’ll need to succeed.
  • Keep Silent - Making known to all and sundry what, why and how you have used your knowledge of Magic is as sure fire way to have any Spell at best not work and at worst backfire upon you. A Spell is a request “spelled’ out to the Universe. Let it be heard without interference. Give the Universe time and chance to hear the request and not have to listen to constant chatter and gossip about it.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Two

Be fair to all with whom the planet you share
Give and take fairly and be always aware
To live and let live with kindness and care

This portion of the Green Witches Coven Creed is self explanatory and gives sound advice on fair treatment, equality and sensitivity. A good knowledge and awareness of other cultures, environmental issues and how we treat animals is essential to making educated and informed choices on how to live our lives. When ignorance “marries” prejudice they become the parents of intolerance, hatred and war.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Three

The Wheel of the Year ye must celebrate
Honour what the God and Goddess create
Especially on the significant eight

The Wheel of the Year is marked by Sabbats, which are seasonal festivals celebrating and acknowledging the cycles of nature as it turns through its seasons. The eight Sabbats are the Summer and Winter Solstices, the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes and four fire festivals – Samhain (Halloween), Imbolc, Beltane and Lughnasadh. (Other traditions may use slightly different names for the Sabbats.)

These Sabbats help you tune in to the seasons and the cyclical characteristics of Nature. The festivals historically mark important times in the agricultural cycle of the year. All of the eight Sabbats were celebrated in the Ancient world in some form or other and honoured gods and goddesses in their various guises.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Four

Be ever mindful of the law of three
As good and bad come back to thee
Not just once but times by three

Similar to the Law of Attraction, the Law of Three is more concerned with words and deeds rather than thoughts. So by thinking in a positive way, you will attract to you positive elements according to the Law of Attraction, so it goes that by acting in a positive way, positive things will happen to you. Furthermore, this Law of Threefold Return maintains that the worth of any good deed you do will be returned to you three times in this life.

Similarly any bad deed you do will also be returned to you three times more in value.

In other words, good deeds are magnified back to the doer, but so are ill deeds.

It encourages you to think about the effect your actions have on others. You are responsible for the consequences of anything that you do, whether good or bad. Anything you send out returns to you threefold. It is clear that it is important to avoid doing harm to others and doing good will actually improve your life.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Five

Stay clear of fools and their foolish mind
Lest you be counted amongst their kind
Your name with theirs forever entwined

People judge you on the company you keep, be around fools and their foolish ways and you will be seen to be foolish.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Six

Loving and faithful to a lover be
Give thought, word and deed in equal degree
But sever ties if they’re not true to thee

So many women and some men hold onto bad, abusive, unfaithful and unequal relationships for far too long. This section of the Green Witches Coven Creed maintains that you must leave any relationship that is not providing you with an equal amount of energy, effort, love, support and faithfulness that you put in.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Seven

Honour thirteen moons throughout the year
Waxing and waning, new and sphere
Praise the Goddess and let her near

Each year there are approximately 13 lunar cycles in which the moon goes through its waning, new, waxing and full moon phases. The full moon phase of the lunar cycle represents the peak of moon energy. Referred to by most Witches as Esbats the full moon evening is simply the best time to celebrate and honour the Goddess of the Moon.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Eight

And when the moon is full to inspire
With aid from air, earth, water and fire
Chant in rhyme what you desire

And the full moon phase of the lunar cycle is the best time to Spell cast and call upon the elements of air, earth, water and fire to combine to aid the Spells success.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Nine

The Witches Star keep in your mind
The five point pentacle and circle combined
To protect and guard against evil assigned

This refers to the pentacle, (sometimes named the pentagram) which is the five pointed Witches Star encased by a circle which is used in Magic Spell work and in rituals by Witches. Each point of the star is associated with a particular element and the circle represents the God/Goddess. It is the single most protective symbol used by Witches and is often imagined in the mind’s eye in times of threat.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Ten

Respect and honour your soul, body and mind
Exercise, eat well and treat yourself kind
Then happiness, confidence and peace you’ll find

This section refers to ensuring you are the healthiest and best person you can be.

Your physical appearance should be the best you can make it. This means striving for a healthy shape and weight by dumping the junk food, eating only good unprocessed nutritious food, drinking water and doing daily exercise. Good hair, nails, clear complexion and feeling good about yourself naturally follows this healthy regimen. Mentally, you need to strive to learn new and varied things continually.

The natural outcome of a healthy body and mind is a real boost in self esteem and a boosted confidence. You'll feel good because you look good and feel confident that you have valid views and opinions on a wide range of subjects. And there is nothing more attractive than a confident, happy and interesting person.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Eleven

Surround yourself with friends who are true
Be as kind and caring as they are to you
Then they’ll always be there for you to turn to

Surround yourself with positive, uplifting and confident friends whom treat you with respect and want the best for you. Take interest and pleasure in all that they do and say and they’ll do the same in return for you. Rid from your life any negative people who drag you down, sap your energy or take more than they give.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Twelve

Think wisely, speak thoughtfully and listen much
To concentrate, meditate, affirm and such
Always apply a gentle touch

Think carefully before you speak, give opinion or advice. Listen to what others are truly saying. Your hasty words may need to be retracted later or worse still be acted upon with dire consequences.

Listen to the advice from others and take time to consider, contemplate and mediate before deciding which path to take.

Try not to argue with others, raise your voice or speak in anger. First withdraw, take time to consider your best course of action.

Meditate and use affirmation and visualization techniques to help create the life you want to live.

Understanding the Wiccan Creed
Verse Thirteen

In these words you should place your trust
If it harms none, do what you will
If it causes harm, do as you must
