The
Charge of The God Listen
to the words of the Great Father, who of old was called Osiris, Adonis, Zeus,
Thor, Pan, Cernunnos, Herne, Lugh and by many other names. My
law is harmony with all things. Mine
is the secret that opens the gates of life and mine is the dish of salt of the
earth that is the body of Cernunnos that is the eternal circle of rebirth. I
give the knowledge of life everlasting, and beyond death I give the promise of
regeneration and renewal. I
am the sacrifice, the father of all things, and my protection blankets the
earth. Hear
the words of the dancing God, the music of whose laughter stirs the winds, whose
voice calls the seasons. I
who am the Lord of the Hunt and the Power of the Light, sun among the clouds and
the secret of the flame. I
call upon your bodies to arise and come unto me. For
I am the flesh of the earth and all its beings. Thru
me all things must die and with me are reborn. Let
my worship be in the body that sings, for behold all acts of willing sacrifice
are my rituals. Let
there be desire and fear, anger and weakness, joy and peace, awe and longing
within you. For
these too are part of the mysteries found within yourself, within me, all
beginnings have endings, and all endings have beginnings. |
