A Prayer To Hekate

Silver-footed Queen of the midnight crossroads,
three-faced Goddess of the torches,

Listen to my summoning from across the veils,
 through time itself and beyond the gates of Death.

Guardian of the Great Deep, Ancient Mother of Earth and Sea
 attend now to this sacred rite.

By veneration of your mighty and dreaded names-
Nocticula, Trinsofia, Klêidouchos, Trikephalus.

I burn for you these arcane spices,
cinnamon, saffron and myrrh with revered dedication.

O Mistress of the starry heavens, Titan-born,
Ophidian Lady of the Hounds, Spectral and Nocturnal One-

Who sings to the plethoric darkness ,
weaving the tenebrous Shadows;
Universal Creatrix, Bearer of Light.

You whose primordial beauty illuminates the dark pit
of the soul and brings forth death and rebirth;

Whose power of will can extinguish the stars of Heaven
or illumine the subterranean nadirs of Hell.
