This one is harsher and more direct then Lady's charge. Which is good, nature isn't all rainbows, fluffy little woodland creatures and majestic forests. The Lord reminds us that life has it's hardships, he will help us, but in the end we must prevail on our own.
To me the god teaches us to live our lives with passion and purpose and not to fear what all might go wrong. He teaches about all the deaths and rebirths in our lives, not just the physical deaths. Sometimes things need to die just to get reborn like phoenix from the ashes. Every end holds a new beginning, so the message to me was do not fear thoes deaths whatever they may be. It's the natural cycle of nature and there wont be a vacuum unless we create it.
The Horned God is one of the two primary deities found in Wicca and some related forms of Neopaganism. The term Horned God itself predates Wicca, and is an early 20th-century syncretic term for a horned or antlered anthropomorphic god with partly pseudo-historical origins, partly based on historical horned deities. The Horned God represents the male part of the religion's duo-theistic theological system, the consort of the female Triple Goddess of the Moon (or other Mother Goddess). In common Wiccan belief, he is associated with nature, wilderness, sexuality, hunting, and the life cycle. Whilst depictions of the deity vary, he is always shown with either horns or antlers upon his head, often depicted as being theriocephalic (having a beast's head), in this way emphasizing "the union of the divine and the animal", the latter of which includes humanity. In traditional Wicca (British Traditional Wicca) , he is generally regarded as a dualistic god of twofold aspects: bright and dark, night and day, summer and winter, the Oak King and the Holly King. In this dualistic view, his two horns symbolize, in part, his dual nature. The use of horns to symbolize duality is also reflected in the phrase "on the horns of a dilemma." The three aspects of the Goddess and the two aspects of the Horned God are sometimes mapped on to the five points of the Pentagram, although which points correspond to which deity varies. In some other systems, he is represented as a triune god, split into three aspects that reflect those of the Triple Goddess: the Youth (Warrior), the Father, and the Sage. The Horned God has been explored within several psychological theories and has become a recurrent theme in fantasy literature.
It takes all kinds. That is what I think of when the God says, "My names and guises name the grains of sand on the beach." No matter what we are, let us love each other.
Forgive me the intrusion or if I misunderstood your comment. I think life's(mother/Goddess) God is the medium, aka the universe. I ask you forgive me if I offended you.
+The Vigilant Satanic Bowser (Secret Chief) you didn't offend me. Yes, I know the goddess is considered the source of all and then God is the manifestation or better yet the process of manifestation. My point, was that a lot of the charges of the God that you find out there in books or the internet it cetera. it seems that a lot of the charges for the God seem to be that they were created because they felt that God was left out. you know - the goddess has one of the god must have one too.
Sarepion there's a passage in Genisis that some have found very interesting and seems to be referring to the Elohim(depending on the person this can mean God's Gods, other Gods, or a singularity.) *And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us*, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
The quote from "The Craft" was borrowed from the Gardnarian Book of Shadows and is called 'the challenge'. It's part of how Pagans of that tradition typically cast a circle for group work. The Charge of the God which I used was written long after Gardner's day and I suspect that the writer was at least somewhat influenced by the Gardnarian ritual though he is Aquarian Tabernacle Church. The Charge of the God is not well known enough to have been quote mined for a movie. But thanks!
I'm much more familiar with the Charge of the Goddess, and it never before occurred to me that this is where one of the most well-known lines in the film "The Craft" came from. If you've seen it, you know what I mean. The girls are creating a circle and they appraoch each other with an athame and say "It would be better to rush upon this blade than enter the circle with fear in your heart."
And commenting on the comment above....we have all grown up with the idea that there is only a father in heaven....We cannot only worship the Goddess nor only the God for we miss half of divinity. There is no darkness without light, no male without female. No good without bad :)
I don't know. I connected first with the Goddess. It was only after years of being Pagan that I began to connect with the Horned God. If and when it is right, it will happen or maybe it won't happen. But it's all good.
True, and that is a good point, balance is the key to how everything works in the Universe. Though I have to say, It's just fine to prefer one thing over It's opposite, as long as you understand that concept of balance and are educated on the entire subject.
well my studies led me to this play list. ok lets try this agian and one question is blessed be a term used as like a oh and have a nice day or something else becuase for all i know i could be misusing the word and not knowing it all that iside though blessed be )0( also what does )0( even mean? thanks to who ever answers me! ok what ever im doing the thing i did when i was agnostic bye! =)
Hey person, "Blessed be" is like for Christian's its "God bless you". "Blessed be" is more spiritual than religious. So. )0( is a pagan/wiccan symbol. Its two crecent moons with the full moon in the middle. You're welcome.
@Cjaz84 I agree except with the last pair. The others are real things, facts. Good and bad are opinions, dependent on point of view. There can be no creation without distruction but distruction isn't 'bad'. I think true good is a balence and true bad is an imbalence, too much of one and not enough of the other.
i do believe in the gods but not all can be trusted. btu again. this video said about odin but he was killed over 3000 years ago by loki. people need to look up the history on the gods before they say something that isnt true
I get misty eyed every time I listen to this. It’s like hearing the voice of a loved one when you forgot how much you miss them.

That was beautiful and very touching to my Spirit.

This is great. Most versions of the "Charge of the God" don't
flow. It seems they were created because the Goddess has one.

Very nice. Bright blessings.

Hail Lord Cernunnos !
Yes, that's so true.
I'm looking for my consort hopefully if it's not a fairy-tale my twinflame.
Thank you for posting this, DancingRabbit.
@NilDesperandum1998 In my experience, most come to the Goddess first.

Odin is no longer a God. He is dead. Loki killed him over 3,000 years ago.
Daniel Weyandt trust in the Gods they will keep us safe
