Page "Wiccan Rede" Paragraph 16

The Rede is similar to the Golden Rule, a belief that is found in nearly every religion.

Not all traditional Wiccans follow the Rede ; Gardnerians ( a sect under Wicca ) espouse the Charge of the Goddess as a guide for morality.

Its line " Keep pure your highest ideal, strive ever towards it ; let naught stop you or turn you aside, for mine is the secret door which opens upon the door of youth " is used as a maxim for ethical dilemmas.
