Harmony with all things is a basic principle within Wicca. There is a rule that most wiccans use and abide by called the three-fold law. It basically states "Do as you will if it harm none" This principle is called the Wiccan Rede( prounced read) and it is the Golden Rule of Wicca per ~se. What it means is that you may do absolutely anything you wish as long as it does no harm to no one. This includes yourself. Although it sounds fairly simple to do it is a complicated rule. What we think may not cause harm to ourselves may in fact do so. Take for example the things we sometimes take for granted, such as not exercising. It is so easy for us to say I am to tired Ill do it tomorrow. Well this is one of the reasons why Americans among many other countries are now raging with obesity and heart disease. Our ancestors did not have the luxury of saying "Ill do it tomorrow". If they had done so there would be no wheat flour for bread and no fire for warmth. If we wish to live our lives in the ways of our ancestors then we must also embrace their society and ways of thinking. I am fairly certain there was never an obese wiccan roaming the countryside. As Wiccans we must strive to find the legacy our ancestors gave to us. Whether that means giving up smoking or taking the stairs. Harmony within all including ourselves is a lesson we must all accomplish.
