I believe it means that if you are going to do spells or magic of any sort, that you do not use them to try and hurt anyone, or go against their free will. It also means to live your life how you want, but don't hurt anyone.

The Wiccan Reade "An ye harm none, do as thou will" has many interpretations.

At one end of the scale, some say - as long as your intent is "good" you can do anything you want. At the other end of the scale are those who believe you shouldn't do anything that could in any way harm and living thing. (this includes becoming vegetarian and many other life style choices)

I believe the important thing here is define the words "harm" and "none" as being the pivotal part of the concept.

What kind of witch craft involves burying yourself?

None to my knowledge. The basis for most Pagan belief structures is 'Harm none, do as ye will'. Which means that during your workings you are to harm no one, not even yourself. Thus, burying one's self would be out of the question.

Does Wicca have a sacred text describing their beliefs value and tradition?

The closest thing to that is probably the wiccan rede. I will give you the short version here, but it is much longer than this."Bide the wiccan law ye must,In perfect love and perfect trust.Eight words the wiccan rede fulfill:An ye harm none, do what ye will.What ye send forth comes back to thee,So ever mind the law of three.Follow this with mind and heart,And merry ye meet, and merry ye part."


What does this sentence mean word for word and you harm none do what you will?

Actually, this was originally "an ye harm none, do what thou wilt." (The word "an" back about 500 years ago, meant "if".) This phrase states a common belief of the wiccan religion (sometimes called the "Wiccan Rede"). Wicca back then was called "witchcraft." What it means is that as long as your actions are not hurting anyone, do whatever you would like to do. A version of this belief is still accepted by pagans even today.

Can wicca cause harm?

In the Wiccan rede it states "harm none do what ye will". It is saying is that you can do anything as long as it harms no living creature. If some one is trying to cause harm to some one, with witchcraft or not, they are not following the rede. no, REAL Wicca doesn't harm anyone.
