88 Precepts is an essay or manifesto written by David Lane, a member of the white supremacist organization The Order. Written while Lane was serving a 190-year prison sentence, 88 Precepts is a treatise on natural law, religion and politics from the view point of David Lane as well as guidelines for securing, protecting, preserving and establishing white territorial imperatives,[1] and is an expansion upon Lane's own Fourteen Words. The 88 Precepts are commonly regarded as "tenets of white-separatist life" used by white supremacy groups and those who advocate white nationalism and separatism.[2]

The number "88" is also used by neo-Nazis to represent "Heil Hitler", as "H" is the eighth letter of the alphabet whereas Lane, the man who originated 14-88 claimed that 14-88 was an integral part of his Pyramid Prophecy[3][4] and the basis for his religion of Wotanism.[5]
