Ethics: CPC Code of Honor
Chesapeake Pagan Community Code of Honor
As a free member of a free spiritual society, I acknowledge freedom’s responsibility as implied in the ancient law,
"An’ it harm none, do as ye will." In the spirit of freedom, I agree to honor the following code of responsibility.
- I will consider my pledged word sacred.
- I will respect all others’ rights to freedom, safety, privacy and differing opinions.
- I will take care, in my personal behavior, to consider the feelings and comfort of others.
- I will respect the life of this planet.
- I will seek to repair what I have wrongly damaged and to heal those whom I have wrongly harmed.
- Honesty is valuable. I will remember this in thought, word and deed.
The Code of Honor is intended to provide guidance, and should not be considered a rigid collection of laws. Respect for
others does not mean we should allow them to do anything, whenever it pleases them, and sometimes it is necessary to
criticize what others believe or intefere with their activities. Balance and moderation are important considerations when
practicing the Code in our personal lives.
Written by Thoron Woodling, this code of honor was adopted by the Chesapeake Pagan Community on June 7, 2003.
An earlier version of this code of honor was written in 1986 by Thoron Woodling for another Maryland Pagan community.
