'An it harm none, do what ye will' is a saying of the
Wiccan religion, sometimes known as the
Wiccan Rede.
(
Rede is an archaic word meaning, among other things, "saying". It is cognate with
German Rede.)
There appear to be a number of spellings and versions of this saying: the above seems to be one of the most popular on Google, and that used in the Wicca article.
Other versions include :
- And It Harm None, Do As Thou Wilt
- Do what you will, so long as it harms none
- An it harm none, do what thou will
- That it harm none, do as thou wilt
Compare and contrast with Aleister Crowley's 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law' - presumably intended as a reaction to the above?
