Devoted to Hekáte

Ekáth Ækátî Hecate

[keysatthecrossroad]

I call Ækátî of the Crossroads, worshipped at the meeting of three paths, oh lovely one.

In the sky, earth, and sea, You are venerated in Your saffron-colored robes.

Funereal Daimôn, celebrating among the souls of those who have passed.

Persian, fond of deserted places, You delight in deer.

Goddess of night, protectress of dogs, invincible Queen.

Drawn by a yoke of bulls, You are the Queen who holds the keys to all the Kózmos.

Commander, Nýmphi, nurturer of children, You who haunt the mountains.

Pray, Maiden, attend our hallowed rituals;

Be forever gracious to Your mystic herdsman and rejoice in our gifts of incense.

- The Orphic Hymn to Hekáte

[keysatthecrossroad]

My dear Brothers and Sisters of the Crossroads. This will be my last post on this wonderful page that I've been able to share with you for the last 3 years. In 2012 I was diagnosed with cancer it went into remission and then came back in 2018. When it came back this year there were some decisions to be made.

There really wasn't much extra life that they could give me through chemotherapy and radiation and I already had both of those plus surgery and medication.

So I have opted to go into palliative care because I am ready to sit at the Hem of our Mother.

It has been a joy sharing Her with you and if you would please speak to Her about looking after my three cats who have been adopted and about leaving an extra light on for me so I can easily find Her on my final trip to her garden.

Walk tall and live your life and always remember that the Goddess Hekáte loves you beyond compare. I will always be your spiritual family, so call to me if you have need of an ancestor. I've always felt chosen family is the best family. And you are all so very very loved.

It has been an honor,

Samantha
