THE CHARGE OF THE GOD 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 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 th 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 it's beings. Thru 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." Alternative CHARGE OF THE GOD I am the fire within your heart, the yearning within your soul. I am the Hunter of Knowledge and the Seeker of the Holy Quest. I -- who stand in the Darkness of light am he who You call Death. I -- Consort and Mate of she whom we adore, call unto thee. Heed my call Beloved ones, come unto meand learn the secrets of Death and Peace. I am the Grain at Harvest, I am the Fruit upon the Trees. I am he who leads you home.

I am he who has been called Pan, Hearn, Osiris, and Hades and I call to thee in thy search. Come, Dance and Sing, Come Laugh and Love for these are my worship. You are my Children and I am your father.

Seek me with pride and humility, but seek me best of all with love and with strength for this is my path, Walk it with purpose and Dance boldly. Hear my call on long winter's night and we shall stand together, guarding her Earth as she sleeps.
