Listen the 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.
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 mysteries found within yourself.
Within me all beginnings
have endings,
and all endings have
beginnings.
