Hekate’s Deipnon from aug 13th’s evening.

The day after the offering I went out of town for a couple of days and found the spot where it felt right to leave the libations. 🖤

I know, it wasn’t a crossroad but behind the little waterfall there was a grotto: what’s more chthonic than that?

I’ve also found a piece of animal (boar?) maxilla and three bees in a triangle!

Hecate

I call Hecate 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 peplum. Funereal Daimon, celebrating with the souls of dead Daughter of Perses, 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 Cosmos. Commander, Nymph, 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.

Εἰνοδίην Ἑκάτην κλῄιζω, τριοδῖτιν, ἐραννήν, οὐρανίην, χθονίαν τε, καὶ εἰναλίην κροκόπεπλον, τυμβιδίην, ψυχαῖς νεκύων μέτα βακχεύουσαν, Πέρσειαν, φιλέρημον, ἀγαλλομένην ἐλάφοισιν, νυκτερίην, σκυλακῖτιν, ἀμαιμάκετον βασίλειαν, ταυροπόλον, παντὸς κόσμου κληιδοῦχον ἄνασσαν, ἡγεμόνην, νύμφην, κουροτρόφον, οὐρεσιφοῖτιν, λισσόμενοις κούρην τελεταῖς ὁσίαισι παρεῖναι βουκόλῳ εὐμενέουσαν ἀεὶ κεχαρηότι θυμῷ.

Hekate appreciation post (1)

I love her with all my soul. She is darkness, she is light, she is the path on which I walk. She is the support I’ve always needed and never found around my home. She makes me cry, smile, scream, altogether, without feeling the need to suppress my emotions.
