Rule of Three
The rule of three (or threefold law) is a central tenet in Neo-Wicca. It states that, both the good and the evil that one creates in the world will be returned to you threefold (in joy or suffering). It is therefore seen as a pragmatic reason for ethical behaviour and compliance with the Wiccan Rede.One example of how the rule may be stated is as follows:
- Ever mind the Rule of Three
- Three times what thou givest returns to thee
- This lesson well, thou must learn
- Thee only gets what thou dost earn!
