Adapted from the American Council of Witches.

• I practice rites to attune myself with the natural rhythm of life forces marked by the phases of the Moon and the seasonal Quarters and Cross Quarters.
  
• I recognize that my intelligence gives me a unique responsibility towards my environment. I seek to live in harmony with Nature.
  
• I acknowledge a depth of power far greater than that apparent to the average person. Because it is far greater than ordinary it is sometimes called “supernatural”, but I see it as lying within that which is naturally potential to all.
  
• I conceive of Diety as manifesting through polarity, as masculine and feminine, and that Diety is all people, and functions through the interaction of the masculine and feminine. I value neither above the other, knowing each to be supportive of the other.
  
• I recognize both outer and inner, or psychological, worlds — sometimes known as the Spiritual World, the Collective Unconscious, Inner Planes, etc. — and I see in the interaction of these two dimensions the basis for paranormal phenomena and magickal exercises.
  
• I do not recognize any authoritarian hierarchy outside that agreed on in agiven Coven, but do honor those who teach, respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who have courageously given of themselves in leadership.
  
• I see religion, magick and wisdom-in-living as being united in the way one views the world and lives within it — a world view and philosophy of life which we identify as Wicca.
  
• Calling oneself “Wiccan” does not make a Witch — but neither does heredity itself, nor the collecting of titles, degrees and initiations. A Wiccan seeks to control the forces within her/himself that make life possible in order to live wisely and well without harm to others.
  
• I believe in the affirmation and fulfillment of life in a continuation of evolution and development of consciousness, that gives meaning to the Universe, and my personal role within it.
  
• As a Wiccan, I am not threatened by debates on the history of the Craft, the origins of various terms, the origins of various aspects of different traditions. I am concerned with my present and future.
  
• I do not accept the concept of absolute evil, nor do I worship any entity known as “Satan” or “the Devil”, as defined by Christian tradition. I do not seek power through the suffering of others. Tags: beliefs, ideas, principles.
