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 bright 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. Through 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 Mystery found within
yourself. Within Me, all beginnings have ends, and all endings,......beginings."
