The Law
 
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 connections with the Goddess and 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 way 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.
 
Thou shall not reveal the secrets of another of the Craft or another coven. For others have laboured long and hard for them.
 
Refrain from speaking ill of others, for not all truths of the matter may be known.
 
Speak not of the affairs of the craft or of the coven to those who do not follow the path of the wise.
 
Teach only what you know, to the best of your ability, to those students whom seek you out, 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 for vain glory shall take little pride in her handiwork; she who teaches
out of love shall be enfolded in the arms of the Goddess and God.
 
If ever the need arises, any law may be changed and new laws written to replace them, so long as the new laws don't break the oldest law of all:
 
 
Beliefs
 
We of the The Craft believe in the polarity of the Deity.
 
Therefore, the Goddess and God are revered.
 
All souls enjoy a series of re-incarnations.
 
Power can be sent in non-physical form to affect the world in positive ways.
 
Therefore we accept both the practices of Magick and its effectiveness.
 
The energies you send out are the same that you will attract.
 
The Earth is a living, breathing organism - Honour Her always.
 
We practice rites to attune ourselves with the natural rhythm of the life forces, marked by the phases of the moon, the seasonal quarters and the cross quarters.
 
We recognise that our intelligence gives us a unique responsibility toward our environment.
 
We seek to live in harmony with nature.
 
We do not recognise any authoritarian hierarchy, but we do honour those who teach and respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom.
 
Calling oneself witch does not make a witch. Nor does heredity or the collecting of titles.
 
A true Witch will use themselves to control the forces around them in order to live wisely and well, without harm to others and in harmony with nature.
 
We do not accept the concept of absolute evil, nor do we worship any entities that represent evil.
 
We do not seek power through the suffering of others, nor accept personal gain through denying something of another.
 
We believe that we should seek within nature that which is beneficial to our health and well being.
 
The Craft accepts members from both sexes.
 
Racism and prejudice in any form is not in our nature.
 
 
 Power
 
The power shall not be used to bring harm , or 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 your own gain, as long as by doing so you harm none.
 
 
Accept not money for the 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 The Craft and the Magicks.
 
Ever remember that the power is the sacred gift of the Goddess and God,
and should never be misused or abused.
