Charge of the God
Listen to the words of the Great Father,
who of old was called Osiris, Adonis,
Thor, Pan, and 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. I give
the knowledge of the 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 wind, whose voice calls
the seasons. I am the Lord of the
Hunt, and the Power of the Light,
Sun amongst the clouds and the secret
of the flame. I call upon your bodies
to arise and come to unto me.
For I am the flesh of the earth
and all its beings. Through Me all
things must die, and with Me all
things 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 new beginnings.
