Charge of the God
I am the Life-Force, and impregnator. The Goat-foot God and piper at the gates of dawn. I am you deepest stragngest delight and untamed sexuality. Dance to the sweet music of my pipes, as I play the secret song of life, and ye be wild and free in everything. I am lust and passion, gentle and caring, dark adn terrible, fear and panic. I am the sun's bright splendour, flooding the Earth with warmth and encouraging the hidden seed of creation to burst forth into manifestation, the quickenning flame and th efire in the soul of man. My love warms the heart of the Great Mother that the land may be fruitful. My story is an endless dance of sorrow and joy. I am the sone who is the sarifice, and who lays down his life for his hidden children, yet is immortal. For I am also the last harvest, offering up grain and fruits beneath the sichle of time, so that all may be nourished. For I am the awakener, whose touch stirs the life within the hidden seed. Yet is knowledge of me also the knowledge of death. For I come as darkened Knight, upon the raging strom, as I am the guardian of the gate, and the keeper of the key, I am the leveller, who makes one and all the same. And ye shall dread to gaze into my eyew, for I am joy and terror, but to the sick and starving, I shall be a blessing in disguise. I am the Wild Hunter, Stag King and Lord of the Trees. The greenwood shades are my domain, and all who dwoll therin, hoof and horn, tooth and claw, are my children. Men fear the dark, but to those who answer my call, as all must, I am healer, a teacher, a guardian and guide. Seek me in the wild places, Hunt, but know I shall elude your grasp, leading you by hint and riddle and fleeting glimes, deep in the forest of the mind. Mine is the way of balance in all things, therefore let you strength be tempered with gentleness, your curage with compassion and your wisdom with love. By blackest night or noonday sun, I am never far from your side. Tread surley on the path of the wise, and may the mark of the Horned God be etched upon your heart and mind always!
