On the Witch’s personal standards and spirituality

- If you know the Rede is being broken, you must work strongly against it.
- Watch, listen, and withhold judgment; in debate let your silences be long, your thoughts clear, and your words carefully chosen.
- Never boast, or threaten, or speak evil of anyone.
- Be truthful always, save when speaking would lead to a great harm.
