Offering yourself to Hekáte:

Hekáte, enjoys offerings that are not only personal to Her but personal to those devoted to Her as well.

Artwork, poetry, song, dance, chants, and prayers that you have created. Offer Her your favorite food, play your favorite song for Her, sweepings from your home, flowers from your garden. Strands of your hair, a spritz of your perfume, clippings from your nails.

Continue to offer Her things that She loves but don't forget to pour yourself and your love into those offerings too.

Hekáte called you, She wants to know you, She wants your devotion.

Hail the Goddess of All, Hekáte Enodia.

Mighty Hekáte, Goddess of All pathways,

Seer of all things,

Guide me through the shadows,

Whisper to me their meanings,

Show me where to place my feet,

Take my hand and lead me to do great things,

Teach me to find the meaning in Your prophecy,

Goddess of Mystery, of Liminal, of Night, I devote myself to You.

Mother, I am lost and calling out,

I beg for Your signs, Your compassion, Your protection,

Mother of All, Hekáte, please allow me to hold the hem of Your robes as I navigate this new crossroad.

Please allow me this chance to forge a new journey, devoted to You.

[keysatthecrossroad]

Hekáte, guide me,

Goddess of the seen and unseen,

Open the gates with Your keys,

Illuminate the path with Your Torches,

Allow Your Hounds to guard me in the depths of the Crossroads,

Hekáte, bring me to love everlasting.

Hail Mother!
