Hekate

a prayer honoring the Goddess of Magic.

I call to you, kind Hekate, watchful daughter

of far-seeing Asteria, torch-bearing goddess,

night-wanderer, pale and fair as the moonflower.

Hekate of the three ways, goddess of the crossroad,

keen-eyed one, you see clearly what others overlook.

Hekate of the three realms, goddess who holds

a stake in all the worlds, all within are yours to stir.

Gentle of touch and firm of hand, Hekate,

leader of the ghostly train, the barking of dogs

marks your passage, the shining of stars lights your path.

Hekate who is the companion of those who who walk

the bounds of light and dark, I praise and honor you.
