For Strength

[Kiya]

Hecate,

As much as I feared you, you came into my life anyway.
I know now that I needed you.
In this last year I have faced more crossroads than ever before. Instead of turning and running away, you have made me make choices I had avoided all my life.

It is hard, my Queen, and I hurt. But I know that to heal, I need to cut out the poison.

But I have survived, pretty well intact, and you knew I would.
So I ask once more for an ounce of your strength of purpose to get me through the next few days and weeks.

One day we will look back on this year, you and I, and you will smile as I tell you how much I learned.

I know, as ever, you will set me in the right direction. Great Hecate, for that, I thank you.

Kiya

Hecate,

Today of all days you have my respect, my thanks, and - to my surprise - my love.

Once again I thank you for the strength I find in myself while in your guidance.

My prayers are yet again answered - and yet again in a way I would not have predicted.

Know Thyself, you said, and I have come so far.

Hecate, something tells me we are reaching the height of our work together. I feel you so close, and I hear your voice. I know I will not flee the challenges ahead.

I will not stop being afraid. Fear is not a bad thing. But I will face those fears, as I have faced many.

This Samhain I dedicate to you.

As I speak, so shall it be.

Kiya

Today finds me smiling again!

Hecate, you have taken terror and made it just a fear.

You have taken fear, and made it a challenge.

Then you held my hand as I faced that challenge.

And when you took your hand away, I was already halfway there.

And I made it the rest of the way by myself.

And you didn't say "I told you so."

You have my thanks, my admiration and my love.

I feel that we shall not be spending so much time together, but I know that what you have given me will remain forever. This new moon is our last together in this way, although I shall always honour you in my heart.

Hecate, my Queen,

Well, you have certainly taught me that you are only going to leave me when I'm good and ready!

I've done the things I needed to, and I have all the proof now I will ever need that the Law of Three is very accurate!

While I was making the wrong decisions, my life continued to get worse. Now I've made the incredibly painful right one - and blessings are just pouring into my life.

Friends and family have been so generous, understanding and caring. These are people I have not been good to, not for a long time, yet they have supported me with strength and courage that I didn't know they had. More fool me, as I can hear you saying.

So, once again, you have my thanks. Oh, and I've begun to learn my lesson. I won't ever say that I don't view your involvement in my life with a little trepidation - but I'm stronger, and happier, having had the benefit of your involvement.

Thankyou.
