Before I was ever interested in being Pagan or Wiccan I was raised a Christian. So when I first started realizing that Christianity just was not working for me I went to my local book store and found the religion section. A Witch's 10 Commandments by Marian Singer happened to be the first book that caught my attention. So I started researching Wicca and Pagan and found that this faith seemed to feel right. Sadly that book sat on my book shelf for a year before I ever read it. This book pretty much outlines the basic day to day life I try to lead. So I would first like to state that the Witch's 10 Commandments are guidelines, this person is not claiming they are ACTUAL commandments like in Christianity, they are not God/dess law, just guidelines. Here are the commandments:
1. Thou Art God/dess
2. As Above, so Below, As Within, so Without
3. Spirit Abides in All things. Names and Words Have Power
4. Maintain an Attitude of Gratitude (Walk the Talk)
5. Honor Thy Ancestors, Teachers, Elders, and Leaders
6. All Life is Sacred
7. All Acts of Love and Pleasure are Sacred
8. The Threefold Law
9. Love Is the Law, Love Under Will
10. For the Greatest Good, an' It Harm None
I would just like everyone's opinion on these guidelines. How do you feel about them? Should things be added? Taken away? Do you have your own set of guidelines? What are they?
If anyone has any questions about the ten above I would be more than happy to explain in detail :-)
