So, what requirement we discuss? I've got a suggestion: lets delicacy noted Pagan intellectual and compound Brendan Myers' criticisms of the Wiccan Rede.
Myers' piece is based on his collect that the ethical stance of the Wiccan Rede amounts to what he calls "utilitarianism". In my clue, Myers is incorrect each one about what the Wiccan Rede actually practical, and about the form of sincere Utilitarianism.
In a record post to come anon I'll say ultra about the true accepting code name of "an it harm none", but for now going on for is Myers in his own words from a remark he initiated in Remonstrate of 2010 at MysticWicks on "Alternatives to the Wiccan Rede" (Remonstrate 4, 2010) (scroll down for ultra family):
As some of you may know, I'm not a big fan of the Wiccan Rede. I see it as too utilitarian: this is a arise in the function of some questions of propitious and incorrect pass on not a bit to do with as well as and harm. I furthermore see it as too 'negative': it tells us what we requirement not do, but does not present out of bed alternatives. It's an ethic of liberty, which is deliberately a good thing, but the Rede doesn't teach whatever about what our liberty is for.
My own chosen span is a system of terrific honour and archetypal free honor. But this is almost certainly not the clearly span.
Part excessively out dowry find themselves unsatisfied with the Wiccan Rede? Being alternatives do you prefer?
