HPS: In the mists of time I was called Brigid, Demeter, Hera, Cerridwen, and by many other names. I am the quickening of the seed in Springtime and the peace of the quiet wood in Winter. By the powers of the steadfast Earth, the darkness of death and the white light of birth, I charge thee; strive always for the growth of your eternal soul. Challenge your mind, act always for the betterment of your brothers and sisters. For you are my children. You are strong and wise and full of the powers of life. It is yours to use them in my service. Go forth in the light of my love, turning to me without fear when darkness threatens to overcome you. Know in your heart of hearts that we are together in blood and spirit ‘til the last star darkens in the sky and winter comes to the universe.
HP: In an earlier age I was called Herne, Osiris, Zeus, Cernunos and by many other names. I am the strength of the rock at your back; I am the Hunter and the Sacred Prey. By the powers of the running stag, by the darkest depth of night and the lingering tendrils of dreams, I charge thee; follow your heart and your instinct, wherever they take you. Take joy in the powers of your bodies. Learn to take your strength from the foolish things you have wrought as well as the good you have done. For you are dear to me my children and I am with you always. I am the Lord of Death, and when you have come to the end of your life on this world I will be there to offer you peace and rest. I am the Spirit of the wild things, and you too are wild in your souls and we are forever intertwined.
