Justice for Victims of Genocide
Dedicated to the people hurt or displaced in Gaza, near Hekate's ancient temple...
O Hekate, Divine Arbiter of Justice and Righteousness,
You stand at the crossroads where actions are weighed, where destinies are shaped.
Your scales are ever balanced, your eyes ever watchful; in your realm, justice is not an abstract notion but a palpable force.
Behold the souls whose lives have been cruelly taken, victims of a darkness that seeks to smother the light.
Let their cries for justice be heard, echoing through the chasms of the universe, resounding in the courts of celestial judgement.
Turn your eyes upon the atrocities committed, and let your scales tip in favor of righteousness.
In your boundless wisdom, guide us to become agents of justice in a world that so desperately needs it.
Teach us to stand up against the dark tide of intolerance, to be the voice for those who can no longer speak.
Let us be the torchbearers of your divine justice, illuminating the dark corners where ignorance and malevolence lurk.
Let the souls who have been wronged find peace in knowing that their cries do not fall on deaf ears.
In your domain, may they find redress, their sufferings acknowledged, their spirits cleansed and comforted.
May they rest in the assurance that justice, though delayed, is never denied in your eternal court.
By your key, unlock the gates to a realm where justice reigns supreme, where the pain of earthly sufferings is but a distant memory.
Guide these souls into this sanctuary, and let them bask in the eternal peace and justice they were denied in life.
O Hekate, in your just and balanced hands, let the world find the justice it seeks.
In honoring you, let us bring honor to the memories of those who have suffered, and let their cries for justice transform into hymns of everlasting peace.

People aren't homes, they never will be. People are rivers, always changing, forever flowing. They will disappear with everything you put inside them.

For those who don't know, Rafah Crossing is closed. Meaning Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are technically not allowed to go into Egypt through Rafah Crossing (with exceptions, like holding a foreign passport) so in order to evacuate, Palestinians need to bribe Egyptian border security officials. The standard price used to be about $5000 - 7000 per person but some Palestinians have been told to pay $10,000 per person just to cross the border, forget other expenses like food and boarding.
For a group of people who are enduring genocide and the complete destruction of their homes that money is impossible to raise without the help of fundraising. That and the collapse of the UNRWA is the reason you're seeing so many Gofundmes nowadays. The entire aid system is gone with the exception of local aid organisations that have limited reach.
So if you see a credible fundraiser, please at the very least share it so it can reach more people. This list by @el-shab-hussein is a good place to start.

Genocidal Village
This is a call to Hekate written about a fictional village that genocided an indigenous strip.
In the depths of night, when shadows grow,
I call upon Hekate, the goddess of the crossroads.
Hear my plea, O mistress of the dark,
And lend your power to my hallowed mark.
This village, stained with genocide's hand,
Has spilled the blood of an innocent band.
Their cries for justice echo through the veil,
Unanswered, their souls forever wail.
Hekate, I summon thee to this place,
To bring forth judgment, and erase
The wicked deeds that scar this land,
With your torch, expose their sins so grand.
Let madness seep into their minds,
A curse to pay for their vicious crimes.
May their sanity unravel, thread by thread,
As punishment for the innocent dead.
Goddess of magic, I invoke your might,
To set things right on this fateful night.
Curse this village with a heavy hand,
And make them suffer, across the land.
Torment their thoughts, both day and night,
With visions of terror, a dreadful sight.
Let them feel the weight of their misdeeds,
As insanity blooms like twisted weeds.
Hekate, I offer you this solemn rite,
To balance the scales, and set things right.
May your vengeance be swift, your justice true,
And may the wicked pay for the harm they drew.
So mote it be, by your ancient power,
Let this curse take hold, from this very hour.
The village shall reap what they have sown,
With madness and sorrow, forever known.

Hekate - Torch and Key
Hekate, dark goddess, mistress of the night,
Wielder of torch and key, guardian of the crossroads,
I call to you in gratitude, with all my might,
For your role as Angelos, bearer of truth that glows.
You expose the wicked, those who sow seeds of hate,
Their malice and cruelty, you bring to light.
The negativity they spread, you do not tolerate,
You ensure their evil deeds come back to bite.
Like seeds they planted, their negativity grows,
Sprouting and swelling, day by day,
The harm they intended, back to them it flows,
In their own snares, they are caught as prey.
Hekate, wise one, I thank you for your sight,
For revealing the truth, no matter how stark.
You stand at the threshold, between dark and light,
Illuminating the shadows, like a shining mark.
May the wrongdoers learn from the seeds they've sown,
May they reap the consequences of their malice,
For in the end, we all must atone,
For the deeds we do, the choices we make.
Hekate, Angelos, I honor your might,
Your role in balancing the scales of justice.
May your torch forever shine bright,
Guiding us through the darkness, with your light so precious.

Ode to Hekate's Horde
By the light of the moon and the stars in the sky,
We gather here to give thanks, Hekate, Most High.
For your horde, your guardians, fierce and true,
Who've stood by Gaza, as they stand by you.
Hekate's Horde, restless spirits, unquiet dead,
Protectors and teachers, on you we've been led.
Misunderstood by many, yet guardians so grand,
We thank you for shielding the people and the land.
By Hekate Nyktipolos, who wanders the night,
And Hekate Phosphoros, the bringer of light,
We thank you for guiding us through darkness and dread,
For being our eyes when we can't see ahead.
By Hekate Enodia, of the paths that we roam,
And Hekate Propylaia, the one before the home,
We thank you for showing the way, for guarding the door,
For keeping at bay those who'd harm us evermore.
By Hekate Kurotrophos, nurse of children, mankind's shield,
And Hekate Soteira, who makes the attackers yield,
We thank you for your protection, for keeping harm at bay,
For guarding innocent lives, each and every day.
By Hekate Agrotera, the huntress so keen,
And Hekate Antania, enemy of the mean,
We thank you for your vigilance, for your unerring aim,
For targeting injustice, for making them tame.
By Hekate Atalos, tender of the weak,
And Hekate Brimo, to you, we humbly speak.
We thank you for your compassion, for your righteous ire,
For fueling us with courage, and never letting us tire.
By Hekate Hieros Pyr, the Holy Fire that burns,
We thank you for the lessons that each of us learns.
For purifying our spirits, for cleansing our soul,
For making us, once broken, completely whole.
We call upon you now to rally the gods,
To awaken the spirits of the land, sea, and sods.
To continue your protection of Gaza's innocent life,
To shield them from sorrow, from hardship and strife.
May your horde be ever vigilant, ever fierce and ever grand,
As they continue their sacred work, in this and every land.
We thank you, Hekate's Horde, for all that you do,
In the name of Hekate, Most High, we offer our gratitude to you.

Oh Hekate, let your voice ring out in the celestial halls,
Gather the Gods, from their heavenly realms and sacred walls.
Implore them to lend their might, their love, their divine grace,
To the people of Gaza, suffering in this unforgiving place.
With tears in our eyes and hope in our hearts, we pray,
Hekate, rally the Gods, guide us toward a better, brighter day.

Hekate: The Warrior of Light, Bringer of Justice, and Guardian of the Vulnerable
Hekate, a multifaceted goddess often associated with magic, crossroads, and lunar mysteries, has a lesser-known but equally compelling role as a warrior. This article delves into this overlooked aspect, exploring her participation in mythological battles, her symbolic torches of wisdom and justice, and her enduring role as a protector of the vulnerable.
The Warrior in Mythological Context
In Greek mythology, Hekate's warrior aspect comes to the forefront during the Gigantomachia, the epic War of the Giants. Allying herself with the Olympian gods, she took up arms against the Giants, formidable beings birthed by Gaia, the Earth Mother, as a form of cosmic retribution. Hekate's nemesis in this battle was the Giant Klytios.
According to the Greek mythographer Pseudo-Apollodorus, Hekate vanquished Klytios using firebrands. This act was not merely a testament to her martial capabilities but also symbolized her role as a bringer of enlightenment—both in the literal and metaphorical sense.
The Symbolism of Her Torches
Hekate's twin torches are not just instruments of war; they are potent symbols of wisdom, knowledge, and the mysterious realms of life. In a world where the notion of a singular 'truth' can lead to division and strife, Hekate's torches guide us toward a more nuanced understanding of justice. They illuminate the path to personal responsibility and individual truth, dispelling the shadows of ignorance, intolerance, and bigotry.
Hekate as a Bringer of Justice
In her role as a warrior, Hekate also embodies the concept of justice. Her torches serve as beacons that light up the dark corners of human existence, revealing injustices and inequalities. By guiding us toward wisdom and personal responsibility, she empowers us to become warriors for justice in our own right.
The Protector of the Marginalized
While Hekate may not wear traditional armor or carry a sword, her torches offer a unique form of protection. They serve as guiding lights for those navigating the labyrinthine complexities of life, particularly for those who are marginalized or vulnerable. In this role, Hekate emerges as a guardian, her radiant light serving as a bulwark against the forces that seek to exploit or harm the weak.
Relevance in the Modern World
In today's volatile landscape, where fear, mistrust, and polarization are increasingly prevalent, the symbolism and teachings of Hekate are profoundly relevant. Her torches remind us that wisdom, justice, and compassion are potent weapons against the darkness that threatens to consume our world. They inspire us to stand up for what is right, to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and to seek wisdom as a path to a more just and equitable society.

Apotropaia – Averter of Evil
Dedicated to victims of genocide and war
O Hekate, Apotropaia, Mighty Averter of Evil,
We call upon your unparalleled power to create a fortress against the darkness that seeks innocent lives.
Encircle them with the unbreakable walls of your divine protection, a sanctuary impermeable to malevolence.
Within this sanctuary, let cruelty crumble, let violence dissolve.
May the air be too pure for hatred, the ground too sacred for harm.
This fortress shall be the earthly reflection of your celestial realm, untainted by malice.
Gift us the strength and courage to stand as your living talismans,
To hold the line against the encroaching shadows that seek to do harm.
May we be the guardians at the gate, holding your torches high, making manifest your divine will.
In this sanctuary, let those who enter find peace and respite from the traumas that haunt them.
Let them rediscover the joys of love, the sanctity of dignity, the beauty of a life free from fear.
In your name, let us repel the toxins of evil, let us be your hands in this earthly realm.
And let the sanctuary we build be a testament to your power and the possibility of a world redeemed.

Prayer to the Guardian of the Threshold
For the victims of Gaza and Hamas.
Honouring Hekate's former temple near Gaza.
O Hekate, Propylaia, Sentinel of Sacred Passages, Guardian of the In-Between,
You stand at the liminal spaces, where the known meets the unknown, where life greets death.
With your torches ablaze, you illuminate the foggy crossroads, guiding souls through the complexities of transition.
Look upon those souls standing at the precipice, their lives hanging in the balance, casualties of battles they never chose.
For those who are close to crossing, let your light be the last earthly vision they see—a beacon of hope and a promise of peace.
Shield them from the harshness of their final moments, blanketing their consciousness with the comfort of your divine presence.
For those who have already made the journey beyond, extend your hand to greet them as they cross the threshold into the afterlife.
With your key, unlock the doors that lead to realms of eternal peace, and guide them through with the assurance that they are finally safe, finally home.
Be the anchor in their disorientation, the familiarity in their unfamiliarity, the solace in their solitude.
Let their spirits find comfort in knowing that even in death, they are not alone; they are watched over, guided, and deeply loved.
Allow them the space and time to heal from the scars of war, to understand their experiences and find peace in their newfound existence.
Let their souls find rest, enveloped in the tranquil landscapes beyond the threshold, landscapes where suffering is but a distant memory.
As they settle into their eternal homes, may their presence be a radiant spark, an individual star in the constellation of souls you guard.
Through the love and attention you offer them, may they understand that although their earthly lives were marked by chaos, their eternal lives are cradled in peace.
O Hekate, Propylaia, in your infinite wisdom and boundless love, grant those who stand at or have crossed the threshold the serenity they so richly deserve.
Let them feel your eternal embrace as they navigate this most sacred of passages, and let their souls find everlasting peace in the realms beyond.
