THE CHARGE OF THE GOD
 
 

Listen to the words of
the  Horned God,
the Guardian of all things
wild and free
the 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,
I am He whom you have called Death.
I am the Consort and Mate
of Her we adore,
I 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, Cernunnos, and Hades,
I 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,
You are my beloved,
and I am thy Lover.
 
 

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 the 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."
 
 

              Blessed Be!
