This version of the Rede has appeared in many publications, on various sites and in many stores in a frame for purchase by those who follow Wiccan values. These printed versions come from The Green Egg where it was first published by Lady Gwynne. There have been only a few instances when the name of Lady Gwynne has been mentioned.

Lady Gwynne gave this rede to the universe and for this and everything else she gave us, we honor her and carry on her Tradition.
