Charge of the God & Goddess
Traditional "Charge of the Goddess"
-----------------------------------
Listen to the words of the Great Mother, Who of old was called Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Diana, Arionrhod, Brigid, and by many other names:
Whenever you have need of anything, once a month, and better it be when the moon is full, you shall assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me Who is Queen of all the Wise.
You shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that you be free you shall be naked in your rites.
Sing, feast, dance, make music and love, all in My Presence, for Mine is the ecstasy of the spirit and Mine also is joy on earth.
For My law is love is unto all beings. Mine is the secret that opens the door of youth, and Mine is the cup of wine of life that is the cauldron of Cerridwen, that is the holy grail of immortality.
I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal, and beyond death I give peace and freedom and reunion with those that have gone before.
Nor do I demand aught of sacrifice, for behold, I am the Mother of all things and My love is poured out upon the earth.
Hear the words of the Star Goddess, the dust of Whose feet are the hosts of Heaven, whose body encircles the universe:
I Who am the beauty of the green earth and the white moon among the stars and the mysteries of the waters,
I call upon your soul to arise and come unto me.
For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe.
From Me all things proceed and unto Me they must return.
Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.
Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.
And you who seek to know Me, know that the seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: for if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without.
For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am That which is attained at the end of desire.
"Charge of the God"
--------------------
Listen to the Words of the Horned God, Who was of old called among men:
Adonis, Tammuz, Dianus, Herne, Bran, Beli, Lugh, Gwyn, Dionysus, Osiris, Cernunnos, Pan, And by many other Names.
O Secret of Secrets, That art hidden in the being of all that lives, Not Thee do we adore, For That which adoreth is also Thou.
Thou art That, and That am I.
I am the Flame that burns in the heart of every being, And in the core of every Star. I am Life, and the Giver of Life, Yet therefore is the Knowledge of Me The Knowledge of Death and Resurrection.
I am alone, the Lord within ourselves, Whose Name is Mystery of Mysteries. I am the Horned God.
I am the Lord of the Universe, The Father of all living, The All-Devourer and the All-Begetter.
I am He Whose Seed lies strewn As glittering Gems across velvet darkness Within the Womb of the Mother.
I am the Lord of the Shadows In the darkness of the Underworld, For I am the Midnight Sun.
I am the Light of the Stars, And the Spark of the Spirit Eternal, For I am the God Within.
I am the Horned Leader of the Hosts of Air, The Leader of the Wild Hunt, The Judge of Gods and of Men.
I am the Hidden God, Who ever yet remains, For I dwell within the secret seed.
I am the seed of grain, I am the seed of flesh, I am the Seed of the Stars.
I am the Lord of the Heights, I am the Lord of the Depths, God of forest, of flock, and of field.
I am the Hunter and Hunted, I am the wolf and the Shepherd, I am the vine and the grain.
I am a Guiding Star above you, I am a bright Flame before you, I am a smooth Path beneath you.
I am the Light of Life. I am the Flame of Love.
I am the Horned God!

Re: Charge of the God & Goddess
Charge of the Dark God
Listen to the words of the Dark God, who was of old called Acheron, Chamer, Anubis, Hades, Mors, Hoder and by many other names.
I am the shadow in the bright day. I am the reminder of mortality at the height of living. I am the neverending 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 because the living must die.
I am the strength that protects, that limits. I am the power that says No, No Further, and That Is Enough. I am the things that may not 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 one you love and be transformed.
Gather in the moonless night and speak in unknown tongues. The Dark Mother and I will listen. Sing to us and cry out and the Power will be yours to unfold. Blow me a kiss when the sky is dark, and I will smile, but no kiss returns for my kiss is the final one for all mortal flesh.
Charge of the Dark Goddess
Listen to the words of the Dark Mother, who of old was called Hecate, Nuit, Morrigan, Banba, Erda, Macha, MotherNight, Sekhmet and many other names.
Whenever you seek wisdom, at the time of the Darkening Moon, come together in love and trust and learn of Me, who am the Wisest of Crones. You who search the mysteries of the Earth, the secrets of air and darkness, of blood and fire, the silence of the uttermost stars, come unto me, and I shall whisper to you in the depths of midnight.
You shall approach Me in silence, and as a sign that you are free from fear, your breast shall bare to My blade, for fear has no place in My mysteries, and that which you seek of me will destroy you if you fear it.
For I am the dolmen arch beyond which stretch the mysteries of infinity. I am the silence before birth and after death. I am the clouded mirror in which you scry your own soul. I am mist in the twilight, the vast and starry sky of midnight, shadows on the Moon. All things come to Me in the end, and yet I am the beginning of all. I meet you at the crossroads, I lead you through the darkness, My hand you grasp in the passage between the worlds. To those that toy with Me, I am an instrument of self-destruction. Yet to the true seeker do I bring knowledge beyond mortal comprehension.
Of you shall I demand the utter truth of all that you are, and in return shall I give you all that you may be, all that I am. For My wisdom is beyond the Ages, and knowledge of My secrets is power over self, over fear, over death. Nor do I demand aught of you which you cannot give. For I am the Mother of Mysteries, and as you know Me so shall you learn to know yourself.

Re: Charge of the God & Goddess
You know, this is really beautiful!!!
Is there by any chance an equally beautiful short version? 
Blessed be,

Re: Charge of the God & Goddess
