	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	I changed it a bit, but this is apparently the way the thing reads - it's all over the internet. It is written in Middle English (from the Middle Ages). I think the meaning is this: We must follow the Witches' Law, In perfect love, in perfect trust The Wiccan Rede (Witches' Law) consists of eight words: An ye harm none, do what ye will. (= If you harm no-one, you can do what you want.)?? Whatever you send out comes back to you So always pay attention to the rule of three. Follow this with (your) mind and heart Come together happily and part (go apart) happily. I'll do some more research and see what I can find.

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	It's also Greek for "if" - I don't know if there's a connection there, though.

	IanMegill2 Number of messages: 1671	Wow! Interesting... It's like the Japanese "so," which means exactly the same as our English "That's so"... I love mysteries...
