More Than “Harm None”

Many people have heard the famous line, “An it harm none, do what ye will,” but few realize it comes from a much longer poem known as the Wiccan Rede.

The version most often shared today is a 26-verse poem, first widely circulated in the 1970s. Rather than being a list of strict rules, the Rede offers gentle guidance for living in harmony with nature, honoring the changing seasons, respecting the old ways, and treating others with kindness.
