Observe the times of the Treguendas, for therein is the foundation of the powers of Stregheria.


When good is done to you, then do good to another. If someone wished to repay you for a kindness, then bid them to go out of their way to help three others, then this shall clear the debt.


Do not use the arts of Stregheria to appear powerful among others. Do not lower the standards of the Art and thereby bring contempt upon the Old Ways.


Do not take the life of anything unless it is to preserve life, yours or another's.



Do not give your word of honor lightly, for you are bound by your words and by your oaths.


Do not accept any authority over you unless it is of the Gods. Instead, cooperate with others but do not be a slave and always preserve your honor. Give respect to others and expect respect in return.


Teach all who appear worthy and aid in the continuance of the Old Religion.



Do not belittle another's religious beliefs, but simply state your own truths. Strive to be at peace with those who differ.


Do not purposely cause harm to another, unless it is to prevent true harm to yourself or another.


Strive to be compassionate to others, to be aware of the hearts and minds of those around you.


Be true to your own understanding and turn away from those things which oppose the good in you, or are harmful to you.


Hold reverence to all within Nature. Destroy nothing, scar nothing, waste nothing, live in harmony with Nature, for the ways of Nature are our own ways.


Remain open in your heart and in your mind to the Great Ones who created all that is, and to your brothers and sisters alike.
