the Stag King,
the Horned God,
Lord of the Wild Things.
I was known
in other times as
Pan and Dionysos
to the Hellenes,
Dianus and Bakkhos
to the Romuli,
Cernennus to the Gauls,
Shiva to the Brahmins,
and by many names
which are now forgotten.
I am the hound
of Chulainn,
the Stag
of Redynvre,
the Eagle
of Gwern Abwy,
and the Salmon
of Llyn Llyw.
I am the spirit
of the animal kingdom,
the god of virility
and physical love.
I am the bull that has begotten the serpent,
and I rejoice in the cow.
I was the broad-backed bull to Europa,
the long-necked swan to Leda,
and the black-fleeced goat to Selene.
I am Eros,
the energy of life.
At my lap stands the rising cedar.
When the torches are extinguished,
and the purpled phallos
is plunged into the Holy Delta,
in that consummation, there in the dark,
lies the salvation of all.
Thou art my son.
Seek me with love and with strength
for this is my path:
Strength through joy!
