Hekate

[Theres]

Hekate, You who are as wise as time.
You who are the absence of air
that awaits at the bottom of every breath.

Mother of magick,
Faces three
Come to us in cauldron dark
Grant to us Your wisdom's spark.

As the moons path opens
Before Your eternal sacred realm,
And the midnight hour approaches,
We feel Your presence
As You lift the veil.

Hekate! Our soul's mirror.
Guide us to commune with our ancestors,
Those journeying between our world
And the Summerlands.
To You all roads must lead.

Mother darksome and divine,
Keeper of the akashic record,
Invincible Queen of the dead,
Goddess of witches in the dancing ring...

Even now She awaits us at the crossroads.

[Theres]

Beautiful Hekate,
Mother darksome and divine...
Fearsome Hekate,
Queen of the witches...
Awesome Hekate,
Goddess of the Crossroads...
this is Your night.

*************

this is Samhain, the end of Summer and the herald of the darkness.
this is a time of great change!
a time of death, of leaving the old behind.
a time of rebirth, of moving toward the new.
a time of reflection,
and a time of decision.

how will you choose?
will you shed those things that hold you back?
these are your bonds!
will you embrace those qualities that will help you move forward?
these are your wings!

this is Samhain,
it is time to decide...

So Mote It Be!

thank you.

thank you for a year of revelation, and the sudden changes that those revelations have brought.
thank you for the new personal views which color my being more vividly now.
thank you for dispelling misconceptions that have held me in stagnation, and the freedom that that release has brought.
thank you for the past, present, and future.

thank you.

Contained in everything I do
There's a love I feel for you.
Proclaimed in everything I write
You're the light burning brightly
Onward through the night... of my life.

My Lady of Stratonikeia and Zerynthos,
Whose arms embrace Earth, Sea and Sky,
Please protect your daughter Shadowolff, who has much work left to do.

And let her complete her path in peace.

Ekata,
You are the gate and You are the key.

i look to You for guidance,
i look to You for vision,
i look to You for strength of mind and heart.

You are the Goddess of the Crossroads...

[Theres]

i have been remiss, but You have my full attention now.
but could it possibly be a little less painful this time around? :(


You are my gate and my key, and i am yours fully.

[Theres]

she left without ever drawing a breath of her own, but she still managed to take ours away.

wrap your arms around her, and guide and protect her as she joins the ranks of the aoroi.

for this i will be eternally grateful, and i offer sacrifice in your honor.




in darkness, light.

[Theres]

"Hekate Enodia, Trioditis, lovely dame,
Of earthly, watery, and celestial frame,
Sepulchral, in a saffron veil arrayed,
Pleased with dark ghosts that wander through the shade;

Perseis, solitary goddess, hail!
The world’s key-bearer, never doomed to fail;
In stags rejoicing, huntress, nightly seen,
And drawn by bulls, unconquerable queen;

Leader, Nymph, Nurse, on mountains wandering,
Hear the suppliants who with holy rites thy power revere,
And to the herdsman with a favouring mind draw near."


~ Samhain '07

[Theres]

she was good with me, but she meant everything in the world to one who means the world to me.

she is in Your arms now...
please help her make the crossing well, and help us never forget her furry little black presence. and please give strength to she who is in grief now, and let her find peace soon.



i offer drink and food and, as always, my undying love and devotion.

[Theres]

On this moonless night, so dark and cold,
My mind turns back through ages' haze
To the Goddess of Night, immeasurably old,
Who walked alone in ancient days.

Saffron veiled, at crossroads waiting
For offerings of a different kind,
She stands three ways with torches lighting
The choices laid before my mind.

In return I bow in candles' light,
With lavender, oil and blood-red wine,
To You, my Goddess, on this moonless night,
Celestial, sepulchral, Hekate divine!

[Theres]

please accept my sacrifice, given in honor, gratitude, and hope.

i honor your name, and all that it encompasses.

i thank you for all that i have, and the opportunities that i may embrace.

i hope for your blessing upon she who is no longer with us, taken in so untimely a fashion. may you wrap her in your arms as she becomes Hekate!


in peace and love...

[Theres]

yet again, another too soon gone.

may you find him in your loving arms for protection and peace.
so mote it be!

[Theres]

Mother of Darkness,
Daughter of Light,
Accept my humble feast this night!

[Theres]

I would give all I have for one just more walk in the park.

But she is now completely yours, our beautiful little friend. Please embrace her and keep her safe.
