The Witches Creed

Posted by: Tanoro - January 05, 2007

As explained in The Craft: A Witch's Book of Shadows by Dorothy Morrison

"To Know,
to Dare
to Will,
to keep Silent;
these are the four words of the Magus.
In order to Dare, we must Know.
In order to Will, we must Dare.
We must Will to possess empire.
To reign, we must be Silent."

To Know: We must free our minds and clear them of useless clutter, garbage, and worn-out notions. Only then can we open them to accept the gifts of knowledge and truth - the gift of the Ancients - that await us.

To Dare: We must dare to overcome our own personal ignorance and outdated beliefs. Only then will we gain the personal strength necessary to walk the path.

To Will: Without personal will, our magic comes to naught. In order for our efforts to reach success, we must want our goals so badly that we become one with them.

To Keep Silent: This is a twofold matter. First, we must acquire the trait of inner peace and quiet, and cultivate it well within ourselves. Only then can we hear the messages of the Gods, or hear the truth within. The second matter is a mundane one. Unfortunately, bigoted, frightened people still live in our world, and we must understand that those who do not wish to be educated will not be. For that reason, silence is often necessary to protect ourselves and the ways of the Craft.
