Magick

I used the Homeric hymn to Selene, the Orphic hymn to Selene and the Idylls of Theocritus as the main sources of inspiration in order to write the following invocation.

Cleanse your space.

Erect the temple.

Anoint your forehead with pure olive oil shaping a crescent moon. 

Make the gesture of invoking/praising.

In this series of articles we are going to see epithets of the Goddess Hekate through the Greek Magical Papyri. An abstract of the spell, that Hekate is called for help, will be available and then we will analyze the etymology of each epithet. Of course there will be a brief description of the pronounciation.

This is my first contribution on the blog! It is symbolic as well as important, because our connection with the Goddess is the most important thing for our magick to work and for our lives to harmonize with Her.

In Witchcraft every living thing has some specific energies. If similar energies could be combined they produce higher energy and the spell is effective. The connection between plants and crystals, incenses and colors, flowers, and feathers... could be achieved through tables of correspondences. It is important to know some basic herbs and crystals by heart and not need to use always the books.
Hekate is a liminal Goddess. She is connected with other Goddesses and sometimes the connection is so strong that we can say they are the same Goddess. She is connected with all the herbs as a teacher of pharmakeia, the art of the herbs for healing, magickal and poisoning purposes. She likes general and special offerings. So, let's see what Hekate likes in general.
