Part One: King Pausole and the Wican Rede in Wican Ethics by David Richard Jones.

“In the Lord’s Prayer we have the first surviving ancient appearance of the word Θελημα as ‘thy will.'” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “The Wican Rede has many ancestors: The earliest progenitors are probably Hippocrates, St. Augustine and the utterance of Jesus in the Lord’s Prayer.”
  2. “‘Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An ye harm none, do what ye will.'”
  3. “In the Hippocratic oath we find ‘Harm None;’ or as it is sometimes translated ‘First do no harm.'”
  4. The Scholarly Enochian Of David R. Jones
  5. “a direct link between the sacrament, as consecrated by the Priest and Priestess at the altar, and the cake and cup consumed by the congregant, is necessary for the sacrament to be efficacious.”
