Listen
to the word of the
Great Father, who was of old called among men, 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, 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."
I am the Flame
that burns in
the heart of every being, I am in the core of every Star. I am Life,
and the Giver of Life, Yet therefore is the Knowledge of Me, The
Knowledge of Death and Resurrection. I am alone, the Lord within
ourselves, Whose Name is Mystery of Mysteries.
I am the God of nature.
I am the Lord of the
Universe, The Father of all living, The All-Devourer and the
All-Begetter. I am He Whose Seed lies strewn As glittering Gems across
velvet darkness Within the Womb of the Mother. I am the Lord of the
Shadows In the darkness of the Underworld, For I am the Midnight Sun.
I
am the Light of the Stars, And the Spark of the Spirit Eternal, For I
am the God Within. I am the Horned Leader of the Hosts of Air, The
Leader of the Wild Hunt, The Judge of Gods and of Men. I am the Hidden
God, Who ever yet remains, For I dwell within the secret seed. I am the
seed of grain, I am the seed of flesh, I am the Seed of the Stars.
I
am the Lord of the Heights, I am the Lord of the Depths, God of forest,
of flock, and of field. I am the Hunter and Hunted, I am the wolf and
the Shepherd, I am the vine and the grain. I am a Guiding Star above
you, I am a bright Flame before you, I am a smooth Path beneath you.I
am the Light of Life. I am the Flame of Love. I am the God of nature!
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 Light, sun among the
clouds and the secret of the flame, I call upon your bodies to arise
and come to 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."
I am The Great
Father, and God of all Life.
