Traditional Laws of Interest to Solitary Wiccans Worship Sometimes lists times and dates of ritual observances; more generally, the laws of state that the Goddess and God are deserving of Worship, and remind the Wiccans to be worshipful. (This makes sense. Why else would we be Wiccans? Such Words might appear in the beginning of the laws.) Bloodshed Many laws state that blood is not to be shed within the circle; no ritual animal sacrifices may be made. (This is a universal Wiccan Tradition, whether or not its explicitly stated in the laws.) Avoidance of Harm The central, unifying theme of most laws; Wiccans simply don't cause harm to others. (This law, in some form or another, should be in your Set.) Use of Magic Generally states that magick is not to be worked for pay, as it could lead to performing destructive rites. Magick is never to be used to boost  one's pride or to cause harm in any way. However, some sets of laws do allow Wiccans to use the power to prevent or restrain others from causing harm. Conduct Such laws warn Wiccans not to boast or to threaten others, and to treat others Wiccan or Non Wiccan with kindness and compassion. Additionally, Some laws state that Wiccans must not use drugs within or without the circle, must not gossip about other members, and mustn't interfere with the teachings of other Wiccans. Teaching Some Laws state that all who express interest in Wicca should be taught, unless they begin to misuse their instructions. Such laws have largely been either dropped or reinterpreted. Truly following them today could lead to each Wiccan teaching 100 or more students which would result in poor lessons and ,thus, poorly instructed students. Such laws simply aren't practical in today's world when so many clamor for teachings. Keeping the Law Wiccans are reminded to keep the law and not to allow it to be broken. The Love of the Goddess and the God. A gentle Reminder that we're not alone. (Generally, its best to begin and to end the law with confirmations of divine concern.)
