Wiccan Fundamentals

Wiccans are not "people of the book" in the sense that there exists a single sacred source of writing. Instead, each witch keeps her or his own "Book of Shadows". Wiccan traditions and covens may also keep common collections of writings, also called a Book of Shadows.

There are a few writings that have become fundamental to the Craft; while there are varients and versions of these works, for the most part every Wiccan has knowledge of these writings. They are:

The Wiccan Rede, long version
The Witches' Rune (1)
The Witches' Rune (2)
The Charge Of The Goddess

Wiccan Ethics

Below are articles written interpreting the Wiccan etchical standpoint; none are absolute and readers are encouraged to question and debate:
