The rede is a lot longer than that, but essentially:
"These Eight words the Rede fulfill:
An Ye Harm None, Do As Ye Will"
I myself, am a practitioner, minister, high priestess, WHATEVER of Sommerism. (Yes, my name is Sommer.) An eclectic bunch of whatever happens to fall my way and feel right - mostly instinctual, including some Wiccan ideals. I have found that the only place I can find people who think similarly to myself is the Unitarian Universalist church, and the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans in particular. I have heard it stated thus, by a UU friend:
"We're all climbing the same mountain. Does it make any sense to lean over and shout obsenities to the next person? Should we tell him how his climbing technique is wrong, or that he should follow in our own footsteps? Everyone must find their own path up that mountain. If they reach out a hand, take it and give them a boost. But their path will only intersect your own for a brief time." Okay, I personally feel that there may be more than one mountain to climb, but you get the idea. ;-)
