Listen to the words fo the great mother who was of old also called among men, Artimis, Astarte, Diana, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Arianrod, Bride, and by many other names. "Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full, you shall assemble in some secret place, and adore the spirit of me, who is Queen of all the wise. There shall you assemble, you who are fain to learn all sorcery, yet have not won its deepest secrets; to these I will teach things that are yet unknown. You shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that you be free, you shall be naked in your rites. Sing, feast, dance, make music and love, all in my presence. For mine is the ecstacy of the spirit, and mine also is the joy on earth. For my law is love unto all beings. Mine is the secret that opens upon the door of youth, and mine is the cup of wine of life that is the Cauldron of Cerridwen that is the holy grail of immortality. Keep pure your highest ideal, strive ever toward it; let nothing stop you or turn you aside; for I am the gracious Goddess who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of man. I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal and beyond death. I give peace and freedom and reunion with those that have gone before. Nor do I demand aught of sacrifice, for behold, I am the Mother of all things and my love is poured upon the earth." |

The Charges of the Gods
I am the darkness behind and beneath the shadows, I am the absence of air that awaits at the bottom of every breath. I am the ending before life begins, decay that fertilizes living. I am the bottomless pit, the never-ending struggle to reclaim that which is denied. I am the key that unlocks every door. I am the glory of discovery, for I am that which is hidden, secluded and forbidden. Come to me at the dark moon and see that which cannot be seen, face the terror that is yours alone. Swim to me through the blackest oceans, to the center of your greatest fears, The Dark God and I will keep you safe, scream to us in terror, and yours will be the power to forbear. Think of me when you feel pleasure, and I will intensify it, until the time when I may have the greatest pleasure of meeting you at the crossroads between the worlds. |

The Charges of the Gods
Thor, Pan, Cernunnos, Heren, Lugh and by many other names. "My law is harmony with all things. Mine is the secret that opens the gate 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 knowledge of life everlasting, and beyond death, I give the promise of regeneration and renewal." Listen to the words of the God, who is son, brother, lover, and consort of the lady: "I am the sacrifice, the father of all things, and my protection blankets the earth. I am the Lord of the spiral dance of life, death, and rebirth, the gentle reaper, the winter stag, and the spring fawn. All things are of me, for I am the Goddess, opposite, yet not opposing." "I am fertility, the spreader of life, and I am the Lord of Death which adds value to life. I am the Guardian of the Gate between life and death. I am the King of the Underworld, where no living being may venture, but I am also the king of rebirth, turning the tomb into a womb. I bring love and strength, peace and passion, hope and joy, for I am the gentle lover in the night. All that comes from the Great Mother, the Divine Star Goddess, who is mother of us all." Charge of the Horned God  "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, 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 upon 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 my 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." |
