Witches Haven

Charge of the Horned God



And these are the words of Cernunnos, Herne, Atho, Beli, the
voice of the Horned One,

He whose names are un-numbered

I am the wild hunter of the forest deep
And I am the fire upon the hill
And I am the sower of the seed
And the tiller of the soil of the earth.

And I am the golden warrior
Whose arrows are the shafts from the sun

The thunder is my hoof fall
The wilderness my shrine.
I wield the oaken staff
The elements at my call

By day am the sun
By night I ride upon the wild winds.
I am a stag, a tree and mountain

My seed within the earth's dark womb
For I am the Horned One;
Sire of the Universe
Love and Consort of the Goddess am I

In the wilderness doth my spirit dwell
And all wildlings
And fugitives of oppression
Are cherished within my heart.

To such as thee, my hidden children
Am I provider and protector
For all things wild and free
are in my keeping

And all things of beauty and freedom and love
Are joy unto my spirit;
Swiftly I come to merriment and laughter
for these are my invocations
For I am the Lord of all life

Yet also I have a dark face
For I am Death. The Reaper of Souls.
And terrible is this my dark face
To those who know not the mystery.

Yet to my hidden children
Who know and love my spirit
My dark face is also sweet
For 'tis the face of deep and hidden wisdom.

For I am the giver of knowledge
Life and death are mine to give
From death thou shalt be reborn
Unto new life and love.

Therefore seek my spirit and know me
Bright and dark
Then shalt thou know my mystery
For I am the Ancient One:

My faces outnumber the stars
I am the Horned One of un-numbered names
I am the gentle and the fierce.

I am Cernunnos, Herne, Atho, Belie,
Haro, Crom, the Ancient One
Lord and Sire of the Universe All

Charge of the Dark God



Hear ye the words of the Dark Lord,
He who was of old also called among men Anubis, Hades, Arawyn, Pluto, Set, Charon, Herne, Gwyn ap Nudd and by many other names:

I am the Shadow of the bright day;
I am the reminder of mortality at the height of living.

I am the never ending veil of Night where the Star Goddess dances.
I am the Death that MUST be so that life may continue

For behold, Life is Immortal for the living must die.
I am the Strength that protects, that limits;

I am the Power that says No, and no further, and that is enough.
I am the things that cannot be spoken of and I am the Laughter at the edge of Death.

Come with Me into the warm, enfolding dark; feel My caresses in the hands, in the mouth, in the body of the one you love and be transformed.

Gather in moonless nights and speak in unknown tongues; the Great Mother and I will listen. Sing to us and cry out and the power will be yours to wield.

Blow Me a kiss when the sky is dark and I will smile. but no kiss return, for

Behold! My kiss is the final one for all mortal flesh.
