"Listen to the words of the God,
who is son,brother, lover
and consort of the Lady."
"I am the fleet deer in the forest,
I am the beach which receives the
waves. I am the sun which
warms 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 of
the Goddess, opposite, yet not opposing.
I bring forth from the womb that
is a tomb,for I am the seed
which fertilizes. I am abundant
life, for I am the
grain that grows and I am death,
the harvest in the fall. And I am
rebirth after darkness,for I am
the seed that springs forth anew.
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.
