The Wiccan Rede is a key ethical guideline in the practice of Wicca, a modern pagan religion. It is often summarized by the phrase, "An it harm none, do what ye will," which encourages followers to act freely as long as their actions do not cause harm to others. This principle promotes personal responsibility and respect for the well-being of all living beings. The Rede serves as a moral compass for Wiccans, guiding their decisions and actions in daily life. It emphasizes the importance of considering the consequences of one's actions, fostering a sense of community and harmony among practitioners. The Rede is not a strict law but rather a philosophy that encourages thoughtful and compassionate living.
