Rede Sampler a Cross Stitch Pattern by Stitcherhood, The

Here is a beautiful poem called "The Wiccan Rede". I just love the simplicity and honesty... it's just amazing! Says...

"Bide within the law you must, in perfect love and perfect trust. Live you must, and let to live, fairly take and fairly give. Tread the circle thrice about, to keep unwelcome spirits out. To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme. Light of eye and soft of touch, speak you little, listen much. Heed the flower, bush, and tree, by the lady, blessed you'll be. Merry meet and merry part, bright the cheeks and warm the heart. Mind the threefold law you should, 3 times bad and 3 times good. These 8 words the Rede fulfill, an ye harm none, do as ye will.

Along the right side is a long leafy vine with crescent moons and a bird.
