THE ABBREVIATED LAWS
           
'Tis the Old Law, and the most important of all Laws, that no one may do 
anything which  will endanger the Craft, or bring us into contact with the law 
of the land or any of our persecutors. 

*Be it ardane that none shall use the Art (magick) in any way to do harm to any.  
8 words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An it harm none, do what ye will. 
           
*  Respect the privacy of other Coveners. You may reveal the involvement of no 
person save yourself. In case of trouble, the Coven will be disbanded. Should 
this happen, all Coveners are to avoid one another for the safety and well-being 
of all.  Should this happen, refer to the Old Laws. 
           
*Never accept money for the use of the Art, for money ever smears the taker (and 
clouds ethical judgment). For all things magickal, pay the full price asked 
without haggling. If it is unaffordable, it is probably inappropriate in some 
hidden way. 
           
* In case of dispute, the High Priestess is the final arbiter. Within the Craft, 
no law save Craft Law may be invoked. Any who will not agree, or who will not 
work under this HPs, may and shall remove themselves from the Coven. Any of the 
third (L.T. Initiates OK) may form a new Coven. 
           
* The traditional way to hear complaints is this: Before the High Priestess and 
any other Elders shall come first one, then the other, then both together to be 
heard. The decision may be rendered immediately, one lunar month later, or 
whenever the time of waiting is filled. 
           
The year-and-a-day rules pertains to: The minimum time between Progressions; The 
final time of all Leavings; The closings of all cycles.
