17 Rules Concerning Relationship
Concerning the relationship within the Craft
1. Witches do not point out the identity of other witches to the general public or give addresses, or anything that can betray any of us.

4. Never lie to any of the Wicca.
5. Never use your magickal skills for show, pride or vainglory.

7. Do not lend your Book of Shadows to anyone. You may allow someone to copy it though.
