Invocation of the Horned God
by Doreen Valiente By
the flame that burneth bright O
Horned One! We
call thy name into the night O
Horned 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 the goat-foot God By
moonlit meadow on dusky hill When
the haunted wood is hushed 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 secret tide In
fiery flame by starlight pale In
shadowy host that ride the gale And
by the fern-brakes fairy-haunted Of
forests wild and wood enchanted Come!
O Come! To
the heartbeats drum! Come
to us who gather below When
the broad white moon is climbing slow Through
the stars to the heavens 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 thy power unlocks At Solstice, Sabbat, and Equinox
Word of virtue the veil to rend From primal dawn to the wide world's end Since time began--- The blessing of Pan!
Blessed be all in hearth and hold Blessed in all worth more than gold Blessed be in strength and love Blessed be wher'er we rove
Vision fade not from our eyes Of the pagan paradise Past the gates of death and birth Our inheritance of the earth
From our soul the song of spring Fade not in our wandering
Our life with all life is one, By blackest night or noonday sun Eldest of gods, on thee we call Blessing be on thy creatures all
