The advice of the wiccae is a collection of wise and practical guidance given by the wiccae, who are practitioners of the Wiccan religion. This advice serves as a guide for living a fulfilling and harmonious life, and it is based on the principles of love, respect, and spiritual connection. One of the main ideas presented in the advice is the importance of self-awareness and self-care. The wiccae emphasize the need to take care of oneself physically, mentally, and spiritually. This involves recognizing and honoring one's own needs and boundaries, and making choices that promote personal growth and well-being. By nurturing oneself, individuals are better able to contribute to the well-being of others and the world around them.
David had been shy as a child, preferring nature to the company of his peers. "We had a big woods by my house," he remembers. "I would walk around out there on my own. Sit by the creek and read."
Most Wiccans are extremely sensitive toward anything that sounds intolerant and or judgmental, so approach matters of right and wrong with extreme caution. By the time he reached high school, David Salisbury knew one thing for sure If I don t claim everything I am, without apology, then I m going to get destroyed by this place.
By nurturing oneself, individuals are better able to contribute to the well-being of others and the world around them. A key aspect of the advice is the emphasis on interconnectedness and harmony with nature. The wiccae recognize the inherent value and wisdom in the natural world and advocate for living in harmony with it.
The Wiccan Rede
The Wiccan Rede is a saying that sums up the ethics of the neo-Pagan religion Wicca. The most common form of the rede is An it harm none, do what ye will. "Rede" is a word from Middle English meaning "advice" or "counsel". "An" is an archaic contraction of the word "and", meaning "if", as in the Shakespearian "an it please thee". This poem is known as the Long Rede, a series of couplets expressing aspects of Wiccan lore culminating in the original rede. It was published by Gwen Porter in Green Egg (1975) under the title "Rede Of The Wiccae".
25674 The Wiccan RedeBide the Wiccan Laws ye must In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust.
Live an’ let live - Fairly take an’ fairly give.
Cast the Circle thrice about To keep all evil spirits out.
To bind the spell every time - Let the spell be spake in rhyme.
Soft of eye an’ light of touch - Speak little, listen much.
Deosil go by the waxing Moon - Sing and dance the Wiccan rune.
Widdershins go when the Moon doth wane, An’ the Werewolf howls by the dread Wolfsbane.
When the Lady’s Moon is new, Kiss thy hand to Her times two.
When the Moon rides at Her peak Then your heart’s desire seek.
Heed the Northwind’s mighty gale - Lock the door and drop the sail.
When the wind comes from the South, Love will kiss thee on the mouth.
When the wind blows from the East, Expect the new and set the feast.
When the West wind blows o’er thee, Departed spirits restless be.
Nine woods in the Cauldron go - Burn them quick an’ burn them slow.
Elder be ye Lady’s tree - Burn it not or cursed ye’ll be.
When the Wheel begins to turn - Let the Beltane fires burn.
When the Wheel has turned a Yule, Light the Log an’ let Pan rule.
Heed ye flower bush an’ tree - By the Lady Blessèd Be.
Where the rippling waters go Cast a stone an’ truth ye’ll know.
When ye have need, Hearken not to others greed.
With the fool no season spend Or be counted as his friend.
Merry meet an’ merry part - Bright the cheeks an’ warm the heart.
Mind the Threefold Law ye should - Three times bad an’ three times good.
When misfortune is enow, Wear the Blue Star on thy brow.
True in love ever be Unless thy lover’s false to thee.
Eight words ye Wiccan Rede fulfill - An’ it harm none, Do what ye will.

Additionally, the writing style was convoluted and overly flowery, making it difficult to follow the main ideas. Overall, I found the book to be a confusing and unhelpful read.

"The Advice of the Wiccae" left me wanting more. While the author touched on some interesting concepts, I felt that the book lacked depth and failed to provide clear explanations. It often seemed like the author was making broad generalizations without providing any evidence or supporting arguments. Moreover, the prose was quite repetitive, with ideas being rephrased multiple times throughout the book. This made it feel like I was reading the same thing over and over again. Overall, I was left unsatisfied and didn't feel like I gained any valuable knowledge from reading this book.

I had high hopes for "The Advice of the Wiccae," but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The author seems to be more interested in promoting their personal beliefs rather than providing well-rounded advice for Wiccan practitioners. The book also lacks organization, as the chapters jump between different topics without clear transitions. Additionally, there were several grammatical errors and typos throughout, which made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the reading experience. Overall, I found "The Advice of the Wiccae" to be a disappointing and poorly executed book.
