I am the beginning and the end. All that lies between, I am, All that you behold, all things new and old. I am all that go upon the earth, and all that dwell under the soil.
I am of the waters and of the air, of the heavens and beyond. Before there was time, I existed. I am the beginning and the end. I am the beauty of the universe, and to ugliness I gave birth.
I am your power and your weakness. I lift you up when you call me. I watch you when you are down. All things I know. The small voice that penetrates your thoughts is me.
I am your mother from whose womb you sprang. I gave breath to you. From me all things began, and within me all things will end. I am your life and your death and your life again.
In my spiral you will eternally spin. Live your life knowing that you are my beloved. You are of me, you are mine. Honor all that I have created. Walk in truth, for truth is your only real treasure,
Have reason to be proud of yourself. Keep honor in your life. Take not the evils others present to you; you are not accountable for what they may do. be charitable, expecting nothing in return.
be kind, that you may know kindness. at times take of the sweetness for yourself, and give thanks appropriately. The bounty of Earth has been provided for all my creatures to enjoy,
All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. The greatest secret of all is, that if what you seek, you cannot find within, you will never find it without. I leave you with but one command:
An it harm none, do as ye will. I am the beginning and the end. So Mote It Be. THE CHARGE OF THE GREAT GOD (c) 1986, Kyri Comyn "I am the strength of the rock at thy back, the roots of the tree that anchor the Earth and deepest of tides in the black depths of the ocean. I am the Hunter and the Sacred Prey,
the warmth of the sun in the swelling grapes and the call of the road that leads over the hill. I give you, my creatures, the fire of love, the power of the wind on your face, shelter from the darkest
storm. You are dear to me, and I instill in you my power...the power of peace hard earned, the power of vision and magical sight, and the spark of elemental fire, which is the primal light in the darkness. By the powers of running stag and glorious sun, I charge thee; by the darkest depth of night and the lingering tendrils of dreams, I charge thee; and by the beauty of your own creation, I charge thee;
Follow your heart and your instinct, wherever they lead you. The wealth of the heart will guide you where the cold edge of logic cannot take you. Take joy in the powers of your
bodies. The form your body takes is unique in the universe and is chief among your tools. Lastly, always remember the path you have left behind you. Learn to take your power from the foolish
things you have wrought as well as the good you have done forothers and for your world. You can never usurp another's power, and yours is the well upon which you must rely. I am with you always, just over your shoulder, running with you through the tall grasses and forests that surround you. I possess you and I am your Sacred
Prey. I am the Lord of Death, and when you have come to the end of your life on this world, Iwill be there; to take you between the worlds, to offer you peace and rest. Look upon my face; know me. I am
the spirit of the wild things, but you too, are wild in your souls and we are forever intertwined." CHALICE AND BLADE May the balance be restored Between the Lady and the Lord
