"Nature is the Great Teacher. In Her are all things revealed. Nature reflects the Higher Ways of Spirit. The Creators established the Laws of Nature so that through them we might come to know the Laws of the Great Ones. Therefore, observe the ways of Nature around you, both great and small. Everything has purpose and reason. Be not confused by its seeming cruelty, for there is a duality in all things.
Respect Nature in all ways. Take only that which you must, from her, and remember nothing may be taken except that something be given (in return). This is the Law for all Witches.
Know that the wind speaks of the knowledge of the Earth, and the spirit of the kindredness of all living things emanates from everywhe- re. Nature teaches all living things, all that must be known. She teaches birds to make their nests, and animals to hunt, and to sur- vive. She teaches children to crawl, and to walk. She teaches Life.
Once She taught all people of Her ways, but they chose to go their own way. They chose to oppose Her, and to control Her. But for witches there can be no other way than Nature. A witch must live in Harmony with the Forces of Nature".
