The Code was conceived in 2006 by Captain Edward Collins. The basis of the Code represented 40 years of solitary spiritual work. The Code is both a moral compass, a literal guide and an esoterically encoded tool when presented in key form.

The Spiritual Code of the Pirate Church
| 1. No popes, no priests; no kings, no masters; Only God & Liberty |
| 2.. The quest for truth should always be one’s highest religion. |
| 3. The right of travel should not be infringed. |
| 4. We recognize that all beings are born first of water, by fire on land, then of air. |
| 5. Helping others, helps one’s self ; Freeing the mind, frees the body. |
| 6. The knots you make in others, will in turn, be bound in you. |
| 7. Not by control, slavery or usury; but by skill, courage and honor. |
| 8. Let the Ocean make you, or the waves will break you. |
| 9. Be the captain of your own mind, body and soul. |
| 10. Astronomy, math and music can free the mind, heart and ship. |
| 11. Work with the wind, not against it. The same applies to people. |
| 12. By knowing thyself, then one knows the seas and the cosmos. |
