I find this Witches code by Raven Grimassi excellent philosophy, so here it is!
* If no one is
harmed by your action (either physically, emotionally or
spiritually), then do as you will to do in life in accordance with
your higher self.
* Seek your
identity and your purpose.
* When
someone does something good for you, then repay the kindness by
doing something good for another person so that the seed that was
planted will bear fruit. Keep your word and your oaths, when you
give them.
* Do not
kill anything, except when food or protection are required.
*
Acknowledge and give due reverence to your gods, observing all of
the sacred times and festivals.
* Belittle
no one's beliefs, but simply offer what it is that you believe is
true.
* Strive
to be aware of those around you and seek compassion within
yourself.
* Be true
to your own understanding and strive to turn away from what is
opposed within you.
* Help
others according to their need and according to your ability to
give of yourself.
* Respect
nature and strive to live in harmony with Her.
