One of the best parts of
being Wiccan
is that we all follow our own path. However, there are a
couple
of common beliefs that, as Wiccans, we live by to make our lives happy
and healthy.
“Bide
within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust.”
You see for me, Wicca is about Love. It is about using our
love
to produce magic. When you work your spells, if you do it with love
only good can happen. Love is the strongest emotion we have and will
produce your desires, if you use it with the intention as the Wiccan
Rede was created.
This is the first and most basic rule of all Wicca.
"An ye harm
none, do what ye will"
This means no harm to yourself, enemies or anyone!
It means even if you have a sick friend, you need to ask their
permission before performing any magic to heal them. Doing
positive magic for another person who doesn’t want it or who
isn’t ready for the results is manipulative and harmful. If
they
do not desire your help then you must abide by their wishes.
You see, using your Wiccan powers and energy has a series of cause and
effects. Everything you do (cause) will produce your desires
(effect). You need to make certain that what you desire is
truly
what you want. Plus, you must understand that what you do will effect
others around you.
It is known as a ripple effect. Kind of like a pebble being
tossed into the water. What you do for yourself or to others
will
effect more than just you or the others, and be aware, it works for
both good or bad.
Basically it means, if you do something good for you, it will probably
have some effect on someone in your life. In turn that person
will do good and effect others, but, it doesn’t stop
there.
What happens is that next person will do something good in turn it will
help someone else. Each time this good energy is passed on it
will be building.
What is great about that is all the good you started will return to you
three-fold! Now that is powerful magic.
This brings me to tell you about the three-fold truth.
It is a time honored law of return or the three-fold truth.
What
it means is that any energy that you send out, any power, spell or
potion you create, will come back to you multiplied three times the
strength that it was when it started.
Some believe that it will come back multiplied somehow; others believe
it will be multiplied by three. So, those that ignore the Wiccan Rede
will receive three times in negative consequences. But, those
who
follow the Wiccan Rede and send out energy that does no harm will
receive three times that in positive energy.
These two rules are the base of all Wiccan tradition, allowing you to
take responsibility for your actions and use your energy and power
wisely, because what you do can effect the entire world.
