Book of Chaos
The Lun’atics Rede
Bide the Wiccan Laws we must
In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust
Though their numbers may be small
Heed them well, one and all.
Mind the Threefold Law you should
Three times bad and three times good
To all who come let them see
The Lord and Lady Blessed Be
Merry meet and merry part
Joyful singing and cheerful heart
Eight words the Lun’atics Rede fulfill
AN YE HARM NONE, DO WHAT THOU WILL.
-Adapted from the Wiccan Rede
By Taureth (1998)
Esoteric
A. And It Harm None, Do
What Thou Will
B. Remember the Threefold
law
C. Surrender None ...
neither Freedom, nor Love, nor Peace,
nor Justice
D. Give Freely To All ...
Of your Heart, of your Mind,
and of your Hand
E. The Strong Shall Protect
and Nurture the Weak ... in Spirit,
in Mind, and in Body
F. Merry Meet and Merry
Part
G. To Know, To Dare, To Do,
To Share
Remember these
things always, for true justice can only come from honoring the Spirit of the
laws, not solely from the enforcement of their letter.
Magickal
NOTE: The
performance of Magick is a sacred personal right, which bears responsibility in
equal measure to its benefits.
a. Magick shall
never be used to coerce someone to do something
or to change their will or to intimidate someone.
b. Within Courts of
Chaos Coven, any form of Sex Magick shall
only be performed in private, by consenting adults,
c. Magick has its
place and will be performed with in the Wiccan reed, with prior knowledge,
by consenting adults. No one at any time shall be coursed into performing any
Magick that they do not will to do. Blood Magick and or physical Great Rite, may
not be performed during main rite of a open function.
d. Magick should never be
used as a status symbol.
e. Magick can stand
on its own merit; you don’t need to make up results to impress others.
f. No Magick, even
if you are sure it is beneficial, shall be
Performed for another person without their direct consent.
g. Any Magick
performed for another person must conform to
the same rules which apply to members.
h. Any Magick
performed for a nonmember should be very
carefully considered before commencing, and if you are unsure
as to
its beneficial or ethical use, you are urged to seek the
counsel of another member who is not personally involved.
i. Magick maybe be
performed for others, member or
non-member, for a profit. Reasonable fees to offset the expense
of
materials or time spent notwithstanding.
j. Intentionally
interfering in the Magickal workings of another
Member is prohibited; even if you are only trying to help, ask
first.
k.
Any original Magickal Spell or Research is the sole intellectual
property of its author. If they
share it with you, you don’t need to
obtain their permission before sharing it with anyone else.
l. Any Magickal
Spell or Research submitted to the Courts of
Chaos Coven Book of Shadows, becomes the property of the
Coven as a whole, and permission must be granted by the
3rd degrees, before it is shared with nonmembers.
m. It is OK for
Magick to be fun, and we do encourage its use at
any time and in any way appropriate. As with anything else
you do, the more you practice the better and stronger you get,
but it should always :
- have a purpose (even if it is just practice)
- follow the rules
- MOST IMPORTANTLY <<< HARM NONE >>>
n. during the
gathering of natural components for spells, always
respect Mother Nature, and a gift, or at the very least, a sincere
Thank You should be given in exchange.
o. Remember, that using
“wrong” methods to obtain a “right”
result, will pollute the Magick and it either won’t work or will
backfire and do more harm than good.
p. Magick should not
be used as an emotional response to an
upheaval. In other words, look before you leap, and consider
the ramifications first; it’s easier to not do than it is to undo.
q. Preemptive
Magical Attacks are not advised. Any Magickal
Attack should be part of a defensive strategy, again weighing
the consequences of your actions before proceeding.
