Referring back to that "undereducated" part of my tagline of my picture: what is the Hellfire Club, and what did I write that allegedly quotes them? Do you mean the modern English version of the Wiccan Rede at the end of my post? Actually the Rede goes back to Christian theologians:
Dilige, et quod vis fac (Love, and do what you will)--St. Augustine of Hippo, "Seventh Treatise of the Epistles of St. John," VII Century.
"DO AS THOU WILT because men that are free, of gentle birth, well bred and at home in civilized company possess a natural instinct that inclines them to virtue and saves them from vice. This instinct they name their honor."-- François Rabelais, 1534
James.
"Be ye not lost amongst Precept of Order." - Book of Uterus, 1:5, "Principia Discordia, or How I Found Goddess and What I Did to Her When I Found Her."
