Hekate’s Deipnon

History

In Greek, “deipnon” means evening meal, usually the largest meal of the day. Hekate’s Deipnon was a special feast held on the final day of every lunar month, during the New Moon. It’s main purpose was to honor Hekate and placate vengeful souls who were unavenged or wrongfully killed. However, it was also a day for purifying the self, the home, and the altar, and atoning for any wrongdoings that may have cause Hekate to withdraw Her favor. Some accounts say that the poor and less fortunate were also given to on this day. It was said that those who were poor would come and take the offerings left on Hekate’s altar outside. And while some believed this incurred the wrath of Hekate, others believed this was welcomed by the Goddess.

Hekate, Light-Bearer,

Let me pray you,

Let me honor you,

For i'm always by your side.

She who wander through the veil,

Let me seek out your guidance,

So i could find the path underneath the shadows,

The light through the darkness,

The warmth in the cold.

[ravenandmoon]

I'll meet you at the crossroads,

Mighty Goddess of the liminal spaces,

Borderless night-wanderer.

Hekate, born of the Stary Night,

She who blessed all the souls,

I'll let your darkness swallow me,

For i'm your devotee.

Hekate’s Deipnon, December 2023. I’m loving this new sideboard as a setup—it’s much less wobbly than my old table and has more storage to boot!
