Invocation to the Horned God

By the flame that burneth bright,
O' Horned One!
We call they name into the night,
O' Ancient One!
Thee we invoke, by the moon-led sea,
By the standing stone and the twisted tree.
Thee we invoke where gather thine own,
By the nameless shrine forgotten and lone.

Come where the round of the dance is trod,
Horn and hoof of hte goatfoot god!
By moonlit meadow, on dusky hill,
When the haunted wood is bushed and still,

Come to the charm of the chanted prayer,
As the moon bewitches the midnight air.
Evoke thy powers, that potent bide
In shining stream and the secret tide.

In fiery flame by starlight pale,
In shadowy host that rides the gale,
And by the fern-brakes fairy-haunted
Of forests wild and woods enchanted.

Come! Come!
To the heart-beats drum!
Come to us who gather below
When the broad white moon is climbing slow

Through the stars to the heaven's height
We hear thy hoofs on the wind of night!
As black tree-branches shake and sigh,
By joy and terror we know thee nigh.

We speak the spell they power unlocks,
At Solstice, Sabbat and equinox.

Fuck all you fucking Wiccans. You destroyed the Celtic religion with your idiocy, and spat on its corpse.  You're pretenders, not pagans.

@Cainus44 If this is directed at me you sir are an idiot, if it isn't I agree with you whole heartedly.

[Cainus44]

@avalonaviir It's not like you seem to know a whole lot about how it went, either. 

[avalonaviir]

@Cainus44 What do you mean by that?

I am saddened to see so much hatred, in the comments left by others. when this person is just expressing himself.

Personally, I think this is a beautiful video.

Thank u for sharing it! You should delete the hate comments, and block the users. Don't even put up with it. Their words are poison.

I'm a christian, but I'm beginning to love wicca. Funny, the christians are what are driving me away. My "brothers and sisters". I feel pity. They are too blind to see that we all worship the same God. OH, and if you doubt a goddess, fellow christians, read Proverbs 8 all the way through and get your eyes opened. There is nothing new under the sun, it's just repackaged. So roll with it, and see beauty where God deems it to appear, which frankly, right now, is right here.

@Cainus44 Sorry to disappoint you, but Wicca is in fact a legit religion. You do not speak of 3000 years of culture - you speak of your own reckless hatred. You give a VERY bad name to my ancestors and myself. You are definitely NOT a Celt at heart; you're probably just a teen or 10 year-old spoiled beyond belief, with nothing better to do than to argue with others and spread hatred. Your "facts" are not facts at all. To you, facts conform to your mental set and belief perseverance.

@TheKatkatir Very kind words! :)

It is indeed rare for a Christian to say such of Wicca and Paganism overall, since most, like you stated, have a mind the size of a peanut. There are too few Christians like yourself nowadays - well spoken!

@Cainus44 Excuse me, sir, you have so little idea of what you speak of, and clearly have not ever practiced Wicca or the Celtic Way, and I'll wager that you've NEVER been to an open-circle. Wicca by NO means "destroyed" the Celtic religions - that happened because of christian fanatics who demonized it into near oblivion. Seriously, are so closed-minded that it makes me sick, and I think I speak for everyone here on that part. So please, quit the attitude and do some honest research for once!!!

@Cainus44 Wicca was a branch from a Pagan path POPULRISED by Gerald Gardener, but older than him.  You bring disgrace to Pagan people you filth.

[robderc]

The in fighting and politics within the 'modern day' take on ancient practices is laughable. Four elements, a sunrise and a sunset - what else do you need?

So long as you're discussing dogma you are ALL in the past. Drop the jargon, you may as well be arguing about the shopping.

No one is more authentic than he who silently walks his own path with invisible fox medicine.

[TheKatkatir]

@Cainus44 "It is fact." Lol. You're not the only Celtic. I approve of wicca, you're the minority as, most people just do not care. So hold oooooooooooon to your traditions. Wicca is the fastest growing religion in America. Good luck with your one man army approach. As you say, "numbnuts".
