Listen to the word 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 knowledege 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 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."
