that preside over each.Heaven Level Heaven Name Lord of the Heaven
Lowest Heaven Tai-qing Tao-de tian-zong
Middle Heaven Shang-qing Ling-bao tian-zong
Highest Heaven Yu-qing Yuan-shi tian-zongHe has been called on many ways by the many different cultures of humanity, and
although there is no generally accepted way of calling on him in the Wiccan religion,
there is rumored to be a central document entitled the Charge of the God. While the
Charge of the God has appeared in several books and been cited by many folk, the
author of that text is almost always given as “unknown,” and the words contained in
that text are even more wildly different from version to version than are the words
found in the many incarnations of the Charge of the Goddess.A Charge of Our Father
Listen to the words of our Great Father, who of old was called Apollo, Adoni,
Cronos, Hephaestus, Gwion, Lucifer, Llew, Bres, and by many other names:
Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when
the moon is dark, you shall revel in My spirit and know that with that spirit you
are Kings among men.
There shall you assemble, you who have not yet won My deepest strength but
are who are brave enough to seek it.
To these shall I teach that which is yet unknown.
You shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that you be truly free you will free
those still enslaved.
Only then shall you sing, feast, dance, make music and love, in My name.
For My law screams one is not free while others remain enslaved.
Mine is the secret that makes men of boys and mine is the sword in the stone.
I am the Strength of Righteousness who gives the gift of strength unto the heart
of men who would be righteous.
I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal and beyond death I give peace and
freedom and reunion with those that have gone before.
But know that I do demand sacrifice, for behold, the price of freedom is often
high and yours was purchased by the sacrifices of those who came before.l WB Chap 05.p65 103 7/11/2003, 5:50 PM
