The Wiccan Rede is a saying that was formulated to sum up the ethics of the Neo-Pagan religion Wicca. The most common form of the Rede is: An it harm none, do what ye will. "Rede" is a word from Middle English meaning "advice" or "counsel". "An" is an archaic contraction of the word "and," meaning "if," as in the Shakespearean "an it please thee". All witches must honour this.
