I am the fiery monarch of the Sun. I am the
bringer of clarity. I am the Great Revealer and the Bestower of
Enlightened Thought. I am the warmth that gently dries the rain from the
earth. I am the light that gilds the forest leaves with gold. I am the
source of youthful love. From my enchanged harp comes the music of the
heart. I am the Great Poet. I am the Eternal Lover. I am Apollo. I am
Helios. I am Taliesin. I am Balder. I am he that sparks the seeds of the
Earth to life.
I am the ancient Greenwood Lord. I am the Guardian
of the Forest and all the creatures that dwell within it. I am crowned and
bearded with verdant, twining greenery. I am rooted in the rich, brown
earth. I am the soul of all things wild and I sing with the battle cry of
the stag. My voice is the wind as it whispers and sighs through the tops
of the trees. I am the strength of the oak. I am the mystery of nature,
untamed and free. I am Pan. I am Faunus. I am Cernunnos. I am the Green
Man. I am the ecstatic Player of the Pipes of life, and none can refuse to
Dance the Wheel with me.
I am the Dark Guardian of the Gates of Death. I am
the Leader of the Wild Hunt. I am Wind Rider and Storm Bringer. I am
helmeted with steel and ice, crowned with horns of lightning. I am the
Grey Master of the winter sky. I am holder of the keys to the hidden
realms. I am the Soul of Midnight. I am the Lord of the Underworld. I ride
the eight-legged sky-horse. I am Rune Master and Wisdom Keeper. I am the
Riddle Maker. I am the Hunter. I am Hades. I am Woden. I am Gwynn ap Nudd.
I am Herne. I am the Hunter who is one with the Hunted.
