The Charge of the God
|
||
|
|
||
|
Listen to the words of the Horned God, the Guardian of all
|
||
|
things wild and free, and Keeper of the Gates of Death,
|
||
|
whose Call all must answer:
|
||
|
|
||
|
I am the fire within your heart...
|
||
|
The yearning of your Soul.
|
||
|
I am the Hunter of Knowledge
|
||
|
and the Seeker of the Holy Quest
|
||
|
I - who stand in the darkness of light
|
||
|
am He whom you have called Death.
|
||
|
I - the Consort and Mate of Her we adore,
|
||
|
call forth to thee.
|
||
|
Heed my call beloved ones,
|
||
|
come unto me and learn the secrets of death and peace.
|
||
|
I am the corn at harvest
|
||
|
and the fruit on the trees.
|
||
|
I am He who leads you home.
|
||
|
Scourge and Flame,
|
||
|
Blade and Blood -
|
||
|
these are mine and gifts to thee.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Call unto me in the forest wild
|
||
|
and on hilltop bare
|
||
|
and seek me in the Darkness Bright.
|
||
|
I - who have been called;
|
||
|
Pan,
|
||
|
Herne,
|
||
|
Osiris ,
|
||
|
and Hades,
|
||
|
speak to thee in thy search.
|
||
|
Come dance and sing;
|
||
|
come live and smile,
|
||
|
for behold:
|
||
|
this is my worship.
|
||
|
You are my children and I am thy Father.
|
||
|
On swift night wings
|
||
|
it is I who lay you at the Mother's feet
|
||
|
to be reborn and to return again.
|
||
|
Thou who thinks to seek me,
|
||
|
know that I am the untamed wind,
|
||
|
the fury of storm and passion in your Soul.
|
||
|
Seek me with pride and humility,
|
||
|
but seek me best with love and strength.
|
||
|
For this is my path,
|
||
|
and I love not the weak and fearful.
|
||
|
Hear my call on long Winter nights
|
||
|
and we shall stand together guarding Her Earth
|
||
|
as She sleeps.
|
||
|
