Charge of the Dark God
Listen
to the Words of the Dark God, who was of old called Anubis, Donn,
Hades, Sestar, Hodar, 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 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 because 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 unfolding 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;
and the Dark Mother and I will listen.
Sing out 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 my kiss is the final one for all mortal flesh.
