Hekatean yuletide 30-31/12
30 December - The pride of living, Hekate Pasikrateia
We are architects and responsible for our actions and their consequences in life. Those are our "business cards" to show to Hekate, everything that we have been through, and are capable of.
We were born blessed with self-sufficiency. We fight, learn and find our place without having to beg or implore anyone. Tonight, we just need to remember that Hekate is pleased by our pledged fealty to Her.
But She as Queen doesn’t want us to kneel down but stand up for what we are and live for.
31 December - The oath, Hekate Soteira.
Today we finish the 12 days. It is the night of the great banquet, of the promises after having reviewed the most crucial aspects of our life these past days. We learn from experience and forge our own wisdom to grow and understand the world we have lived in, and the years that remain in the thread of our life.
We will lift our horn/cup/chalice/glass for our ancestors for our family. We also lift it for Hekate the Cosmic Soul, and the promises, the oaths that we have made after all the meditations of the past few days. And we will say it in our mind and soul. Spoken words can be manipulated by other people, but silent oaths are protected by our souls and powered by our ancestors.
Before the night’s end, consult the runes, tarot, oracle or any divination form you prefer for the omens to come until summer. If possible, have someone consult them for you. May Hekate always be witnesses of your achievements.
