The Practical Laws of The Craft
- Never practice a magickal application that you do not completely understand.
- Do not set a price on your magickal work for others.
- Never use your magickal skills to show off.
- Magickal bindings may be foolish. Learn
- Know that thoughts are things, and what you create in thought may manifest in reality.
- Never lie to yourself, for this is the ultimate epitome of deceit.
- Injuries, accidents, sickness, and/or poverty often manifest as a result of low self-esteem, and negative programming, and not from bad mojo or bad magick.
- The Wiccan's power grows in direct relation to his or her level of wisdom. Therefore, if someone else threatens you with magick, know that they are without wisdom and their power only comes from your fear.
- Wiccans should in no way use their personal powers or honed abilities for malefic purposes, unless they are attacked and need justice formulated from the Universe for defense in the manner most suitable to the attack. It is their responsibility to defend themselves and others.
- Always do the best you can, which does not mean you must fulfill the role of 'Super Witch'.
- As long as you are working in accordance with a positive belief system, do not worry about what other people are saying about you or your religious path. Know that they are just affraid of the unknown and they are without the complete understanding of what your religion is all about.
- Do not loan your Book of Shadows to anyone. Other people who are genuinely interested in the Pagan/Wiccan religion may read it and copy your information under your direct supervision and guidance, however, your Book of Shadows is sacred to you and must NEVER leave your sight.
- Property that is owned by Wiccans should be guarded as both mundanely and spiritually.
- Do nothing that will endanger anyone inside or outside of the Pagan/Wiccan Path, or which will bring them into conflict with the Laws of the Land, or any of our persecutors. In this regard, it is NEVER permissable, in any dispute involving the Craft, to invoke any laws other than those of the Craft, nor may any tribunals be held other than the one consisting of a High Priest, a High Priestess, and the Elders.
- Although magick can be considered a science, its use should be viewed as sacred, because magick represents the greatest gift given to us by Spirit. When first learning, one should work all magicks and rituals within the confines of a magick circle, since the beginning student may not understand the nature of the force they are working with.
- Do not sleep with your students, unless your student is your husband, wife, or life partner. Never use sexual extortion on your students for magickal information or gain.
- Wiccans may teach others about the Pagan/Wiccan religion as long as the place is safe, the student is willing and shows a great potential for magickal practice, the teacher is knowledgeable, and the information being used is available publically and is not secret to the organization to which he/she belongs.
