While Universal Eclectic Wicca embraces a person's exploration into his or her own religious paradigm, we must draw a line between what we will accept as part of Wicca and what we wont. These limits to our religious universality are The Five Points of Wiccan Belief. Within them, we can find most of the principles of the various traditions of Wicca. These five ethics are boiled down from many traditions, and exist in almost all forms of Wicca, although the names and parables attached to them change from group to group. Practices that don't uphold these standards are difficult to classify as "Wiccan." The Five Points are:

1. The Wiccan Rede
2. The Law of Return
3. The Ethic of Self-Responsibility
4. The Ethic of Constant Improvement
5. The Ethic of Attunement

The Central belief in Wicca, the Wiccan Rede is the oldest of known ethics, the use of various phrasings of this law in pre-Gardnerian Fam-Trads leads to the conclusion that if there once was, as some claim, a unified pre-Christian Pagan religion, this was a tenet of it. The most common phrasing of The Rede is "An' it harm none, do as you will," Which is often reduced to "Harm none." In Universal Eclectic Wicca we also have an expanded reading of the Rede which is especially helpful when describing it to people who believe in commandments and long lists of rules. It states: "If an action will cause harm, physically, emotionally, or mentally, to another person or one's Self, refrain from doing it. Strive to always be helpful and never willingly cause strife or harm to befall someone. Weigh your actions against each other, would you wish your actions taken against you? Take no action you would not wish to receive." The entirety of Morality can be defined by the Rede, even Judeo-Christian morality. While Exodus and other parts of the Bible list "crimes and punishments," they were intended to prevent, not cause harm, the same purpose as any "laws." Christianity began with the idea of harm none, even if many of its laws were misinterpreted, slanted, and later downright perverted into bearing little resemblance to their initial statements.1. With the exception of some of the diabolic fads, all religion is based in "goodness". Mankind is, as a rule, comfort-seeking, and thus inherently good. A man would rather craft a warm sweater than a sword, and we've known for years that a good deed is a far easier sell than donning armor and inflicting one's Will. You'll attract more ants with honey, says the fable, than with vinegar. The Second of the Five Points, the Law of Return (also known as the karmic law) means, quite simply, that what you do affects what happens to you. If you do good, good is going to happen to you; if you do evil, that'll happen too. Metaphors for the Law of Return exist in every religion, there are ancient ones and modern ones...
