Listen
to the words of the Dark God, who was of old called
Lakchos,
Donn, Anubis, Hades, Setesh, Hoder, 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 enfolding 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;
the
Dark Mother and I will listen. Sing to us 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.
