Articles from Hekate blogs

It has been quite the time these last few years, eh?
A lot has happened. Too much to go into here.

I’m still dedicated to Hekate, though I stepped back from my public devotions while I managed a few health and family scares. I’m hoping to get back on track here shortly. My art went in some new directions, and I’ve been working slowly toward a third book.

If you PMed me, I’m afraid it may be quite buried. Thanks for your patience.

I’ve made a few offerings to celebrate this modern rite of connection with Hekate, and am offering them here for those who might wish to use them. The painting will be available on my society6 and redbubble later today (both shops are called Wicket Icons). 

Hail unto thee, O Goddess, 
Holy Source which burns within all things, 
You who draws forth the boundaries of existence, 
Who knows the Mysteries of Life, Death, and Rebirth, 
Hekate, Megiste, Key-bearing, Torch-bearing Queen!

Draw near to me now, Triple-Crowned and Saffron-Cloaked,
and hear my call.

Long have I laid offerings before you,
Many are the services I have given unto you,
Far have I carried your sacred woods.

Hekate, thou blessed above all the Gods and Men,
Whom even Storm-browed Zeus honors,
Wanderer of the Afterlife

Draw near to me now, Torch-bearing and Darkness loving,
and hear my call.

May we, your devotees, your children, your priests, 
share some small part of your Greatness,
Know your kindly blessings upon our lives and loved ones,
That we may continue to lift up our praises of you, Hekate

Draw near to me now, Savior and Anima Mundi,
and hear my call.

Just sharing the newest offering from this past Deipnon. 

My dreams are thick with my ancestors,
Restless and wandering,
They visit in my dreams,
Speaking in whispering mystery,
And I turn to You,
O Goddess,
Queen of the Dead,
Who holds the Keys to Life and Death,
Who gathers the Aoroi to Your side,
Who guides those who seek Your wisdom,
Hekate Aidonaia,
Your company of Lampades
Dancing in the darkness of my dreams,
Casting light and shadow across my mind,
Revealing secrets buried deep within.
O Goddess,
Companion to Persephone,
Who lifts up the torches that light the path ahead,
Whose hounds herald the sacred rites,
Whose shining presence illuminates the dark,
Hekate Pyrphoros.
Your Sacred Fire illuminates
All souls descend from you,
All spirits ascend through you,
For you span all realms.
O Goddess,
Kindly Goddess wielding the whip of the Erinyes,
Who spurs action in Your children,
Who speaks to us of the Power of Will.
Who demands that we take charge of our Paths.
Hekate Trioditis.
At all boundaries and borders You stand,
You transgress the limits of our meager insights,
And enlighten the world with Your eternal grace.

For this, I offer my thanks.
For You lift up my spirit.
For Your gifts have been many in my life. 

I serve at Your Will, bringing offerings of food, of incense, of creative force, and more. The years we have shared have been many and Your blessings plentiful. 

May the years to come be likewise true to My Will and Yours, O Goddess,
Unto Whom I have sworn my oaths,
That my promise shine in the night as stars,
And Your blessings be upon the world.
