Tannim's Religion
Cernnunos 4
Listen to the words of the Great Father, who of old was called Osiris, Adonis, Zeus, Thor, Pan, Cernunnos, Herne, Lugh and by many other names: "My Law is Harmony with all things. Mine is the secret that opens the gates of life and mine is the dish of salt of the earth that is the body of Cernunnos that is the eternal circle of rebirth. I give the knowledge of life everlasting, and beyond death I give the promise of regeneration and renewal. I am the sacrifice, the father of all things, and my protection blankets the earth."
 Hear the words of the dancing God, the music of whose laughter stirs the winds, whose voice calls the seasons: "I who am the Lord of the Hunt and the Power of the Light, sun among the clouds and the secret of the flame, I call upon your bodies to arise and come unto me. For I am the flesh of the earth and all it's beings. Thru me all things must die and with me are reborn. Let my worship be in the body that sings, for behold all acts of willing sacrifice are my rituals. Let there be desire and fear, anger and weakness, joy and peace, awe and longing within you. For these too are part of the mysteries found within yourself, within me, all beginnings have endings, and all endings have beginnings."
Charge of the God
Listen to the words of the Great Father,
who, of old, was called Osiris,
Adonis, Zues, Thor, Pan, Herne, Lugh,
and by many other names;
Whenever you seek haven in the Spirit,
most notably on the Eight Sacred Days
of the Wheel,
You shall assemble in some secret place
and honor the Spirit of Me,
Who is the King of All the Wise.
Put aside the binding laws of culture,
and like those of hoof and horn,
t horn and tree, run naked and wild.
Sing, dance, make music and love,
all in My presence,
for Mine is rapture of the mind,
Mine also is delight in the Now.
My Law is Harmony with all things.
Mine is the secret that opens
the gates of life,
Mine is the Staff of Life,
that which is the Tree of Odin,
and the Pole of May.
I give the knowledge of life everlasting,
and beyond death, I give the promise
of regeneration and renewal.
I am the Sacrifice, the Father of All Things,
My Protection blankets My Lady's Body,
the Earth.
Hear the words of the Horned God,
whose music stirs the astral winds,
whose voice calls up the Seasons;
I, Who am the Sun
which warms the body of the Earth,
the Bounty that sustains your bodies,
the Lord of the Hunt,
the Power of the Light, and
the Secret of the Flame of Life,
call upon your bodies to arise
and come unto Me.
For I am the generosity of the earth
and flesh of all its inhabitants.
In Me all things must die,
with Me all will be reborn.
Let My worship be in the mind that meditates,
for all acts of thought and energy are My rituals.
Let there be Magnificence and Mastery,
Capability and Tenderness,
Glory and Humbleness, Merriment and Wonder within you.
For these, too, are part of the Mysteries
found within yourself.
If truly know Me, you must recognize
that in Me all beginnings end,
and all endings begin again.
