The Charge of the Horned God

“Listen to the words of the Horned God,
Guardian of all things untamed, Lord of Shadows, Master of Darkness,
And keeper of the Gates of Death whose call all must answer:

“I am the fire within your heart, the yearning of your soul.
I am the Hunter of Knowledge,
The Seeker of Truth,
I stand in the darkness of light, who you have named Death,
I throw open wide the Gates of Hell,
And unleash my minions!

But first I beckon ye forth,
To come unto me,
And learn the secrets of Death and Peace,
For I am the Infernal Lord, the Devourer of the Weak!
Scourge and Flame, blade and blood,
These are my gifts unto thee.
I, Keeper of the Black Flame,
Whom you seek in the darkness bright,
I, who has been called Pan, Cernunnos, Dionysus, Shiva and Satan,
For behold!
You are my children and I your father.
For whomever seeks me know I am the master of the Pit,
The fury of the storm in your soul!
On swift night wings go forth,
Seek me with pride and selfishness,
Reason and logic,
But best to seek me with lust and strength,
For this is my path!
Hail the Horned God!
Hail Thyself!
Hail the Sect!”
