The Charge of the Dark God 2
(through Christopher Larson)
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 an the never ending viel 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 can not 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 toungues; 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.
To flip through the pages of my BOS faster...
