Hymns to Hecate

Orphic Hymn to Hecate

Hekate Enodia, Trivia, lovely dame, Of earthly, watery, and celestial frame, Sepulchral, in a saffron veil arrayed, Pleased with dark ghosts that wander through the shade; Daughter of Perses, solitary goddess, hail! The world’s key-bearer, never doomed to fail; In stags rejoicing, huntress, nightly seen, And drawn by bulls, unconquerable, monstrous queen; Leader, Nymphe, nurse, on mountains wandering, Hear the suppliants who with holy rites thy power revere, And to the herdsman with a favoring mind draw near.

Hecate’s Hymn to Herself

I come, a virgin of varied forms, wandering through the heavens, bull-faced, three-headed, ruthless, with golden arrows; chaste Phoebe bringing light to mortals, Eileithyia; bearing the three synthemata [sacred signs] of a triple nature. In the Aether I appear in fiery forms and in the air I sit in a silver chariot, Earth reins in my black brood of puppies.

(From Porphyry’s lost commentary on the Chaldean Oracles, preserved by Eusebius of Caesaria in Praeparatio Evangelica. According to Porphyry, this hymn was composed by Hecate herself.)

Magical Invocation to Hecate

Approach, you of the netherworld, of earth, of heaven, Bombo! You by the wayside, at the crossroads, light-bearer, night-wanderer, Enemy of light, friend and companion of night, Rejoicing in the howl of dogs and in crimson gore, Lurking among the corpses and the tombs of lifeless dust, Lusting for blood, bringing terror to mortals, Grim one, Ogress [Mormo], Moon – you of many forms, May you come gracious to our sacrificial rites!

(Preserved in Refutation to All Heresies by Hippolytus)

Invocation to Hecate from PGM IV 2708-84

Come, giant Hecate, Dione’s guard, O Persia [daughter of Perses], Baubo Phroune, dart-shooter, Unconquered Lydian, the one untamed, Sired nobly, torch-bearing, guide, who bends down Proud necks, Kore, hear, you who’ve parted / gates Of steel unbreakable. O Artemis, Who, too, were once protectress, mighty one, Mistress, who burst forth from the earth, dog-leader, All-tamer, crossroad goddess, triple-headed, Bringer of light, august / virgin, I call you Fawn-slayer, crafty, O infernal one, And many-formed. Come, Hekate, goddess Of three ways, who with your fire-breathing phantoms Have been allotted dreaded roads and harsh / Enchantments, Hekate I call you

[…]

O Hekate of many names, O Virgin, Kore, Goddess, come, I ask, O guard and shelter of the threshing floor Persephone, O triple-headed goddess, Who walk on fire, cow-eyed BOUORPHORBE PANPHORBA PHORBARA AKITOPHI ERESHKIGAL / NEBOUTOSOUALETH Beside the doors, PYPYLEDEDEZO And gate-breaker; Come Hekate, of firey Counsel, I call you to my sacred chants.

Safe travels

Swift-footed Hermes, friend of the traveler, friend of those who find themselves far from their homes, by will or by chance, I pray to you. Hermes, who moves between the realms with authority and ease, who leads men and women on their last, longest journey, who stands at the crossroad, who watches the byways, in you I place my trust, for by your might I know that when I stumble I will rise again, that when I choose my way I will choose aright. Hermes, as I make my way through the world, whether I wander or whether I walk my path with care, be with me.

In general

Hermes of the ready wit and the lightning smile, wing-footed one who carries the words of the gods, compassionate one who guides the newly-dead to the hall of Hades and fair Persephone, quick-thinking one who takes interest in the world and works of mankind, whose hand we see in a run of luck and a clever scheme, I call to you. Hermes, bearer of the herald’s staff, your gifts are great. You guard our homes with constancy and care, you grant to us a portion of your own craft and wile, you join with us when we revel and are merry, you stand with us when we are far from home, alone. You are ever with us, O Hermes; O god who holds in hand the good of men, I honor you.

hestia & hermes for good money

I call to Hermes, god of the marketplace, god of the the deal, from whose hands fall shining coins. I call to Hestia, goddess of the home, goddess of good management, who knows the ways of thrift. Grant me a keen eye to spot a bargain, I pray; grant that I know false economy from true. Grant me the craft to repair what is broken, grant me the sufficiency to save for what may come. Grant me the wisdom to live with care, O gods, the discipline and skill to live within my means; grant me the wit to know my needs and my desires, grant me the judgment to know the difference.

𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚘𝚗𝚎!

I wanted to try and start a little series to provide information. It’ll include the greek gods as well as the saints. For the greek gods I want to try and do as many gods as I can before I get burnt out with this.

First I wanted to post about Lord Hermes. He’s been a part of my practice the longest and I feel the most connected to him. I really do hope that this post can be of use to anyone who needs. I certainly do hope that this post and this series can help me grow closer to my practice. So we will see!

Sources

Hermes is the Olympian god of herds and flocks, travelers and hospitality, roads and trade, thievery and cunning, heralds and diplomacy, language and writing, athletic contests and gymnasiums, astronomy, and astrology. He is the messenger of Zeus as well as a guide of the souls, aka a psychopomp.

Greeks depicted Hermes as either a handsome and athletic, beardless youth or as an older, bearded man, with winged boots and a herald's wand. However, Hermes can appear to you in any way that fits. For me personally, he doesn’t completely fit the typical description, although I guess it does fit the handsome, athletic, beardless youth depiction.

Pop Culture

You may have seen Hermes around in your daily life. The caduceus is often used as a symbol in the medical world. Although not because Hermes is tied to medicine in any way. The use of the caduceus is simply due to many mistaking it for the rod of Asclepius. What’s the difference? Hermes’s staff depicts two snakes while Asclepius’s rod only depicts one.

Hermes himself appears in various pieces of media. Stories like Disney’s Hercules or Percy Jackson. He also appears in the Supergiant Games’s Hades as a god that can help you in your journey, or as a boss in God of War III.

You may have also heard of the luxury brand Hermès, which doesn’t seem to be related to the god at all but it pops up when you search him so I’m adding it anyway. I don’t actually know if this is a good brand or not but they seem to keep sustainability in mind so there’s that at least.

There are many different epithets for Hermes. While there isn’t as many as other gods, there’s still a decent amount of epithets for him. What are epithets? Well, they are essentially surnames for the gods to describe their different aspects. If you wish to call upon a specific aspect of a god you would use their epithet when talking with them.

Now for the different epithets of Hermes. I will be including the transliteration version of the names as the Greek names use special characters that I am unsure if they’ll even show up. So we’re getting close enough.

Prayer to Hermes

I call to Hermes, son of thundering Zeus

and gracious Maia, fair of face and kind of heart;

father of Tyche, granter of serendipity.

In rugged Arcadia, land of your birth,

were you well known and praised by one and all; in all

the ancient world did you receive honors. Throughout

the land stood herms and mounded stones, at crossroads

and at boundaries, in all the far-flung provinces,

marking the path and holding your gift of fortune,

Far-journeying Hermes, guide of the traveler,

fleet-footed god of merchants, god of gamblers and thieves

and all who live by wit and wile and clever words,

master of discretion and finesse. Hermes,

protector of the home, provider of .feast and frolic,

courier of dreams, kind Hermes, I call to you.

Hermaea

The festival dedicated to Hermes celebrated in several parts of Greece. The boys were on this occasion dressed in their best, offered sacrifices to the god, and amused themselves with various games and sports.

Hestia - Goddess of the Hearth by Markus Stadlober 2019

"Hestia and Hermes: the Greek imagination of motion and place You live among men's and women's beautiful dwelling places On the foot of the big statue of Zeus in Olympia, Phydias represented the twelve Olympian Gods. Between Helios, the sun and Selene, the moon, he arranged them in six couples: Zeus-Hera, Poseidon Amphitrita, Hephaistos-Charis, Apollo-Artemis, Aphrodite-Eros and Hermes-Hestia [Pausanias, Descriptions of Greece 5.11.8]. Hestia and Hermes are not husband and woman, nor brother and sister, nor mother and son either. They are neighbors, or better: friends. Where Hermes loiters is Hestia never far. Where Hestia stays, Hermes can appear at any moment. In its polarity, the couple Hestia-Hermes expresses the tension which is proper to the archaic representation of space. Space needs a center, a fix point from which directions and orientations can be defined. But space is also the locus of motion, and that implies the possibility of transitions, of passage from any point to any other. Hestia and Hermes belong to very archaic, pre-Hellenistic representations. Hestia is the hearth. In modern Greek, istia still means the hearth or the household. The name Hermes comes from herma(x), hermaion or hermaios lophos, heap of stone. Before he became an Olympian God, Hermes was the personification of lithoboly, the gesture of throwing stones on tombs. He was the heap of stone or the wooden pole on a grave, but also the phallos. Hermes unites death and fertility in one figure. Hestia and Hermes, personifications of the hearth and of the protecting grave are the Gods of the domestic domain. They are also the symbols of the gestures of women and men and of their interplay. Through that interplay, the house becomes a unique place in the world, a topos in a cosmos. Hestia and Hermes allow us a glance into Greek domesticity. In their interplay, we can understand something of the Greek household and its works and of hospitality. "You live both on the superficies of the soil, in the beautiful dwellings places of men and women, and you are filled with mutual philía" said a homeric hymn. Hestia and Hermes are the epichthonian Gods, the Gods of the dwelled soil. They are everywhere where people make fire, trace limits, build walls and a roof over their heads. Together, they are the Gods of orientation and of the tracing of limits. (Jean-Pierre Vernant, "Hestia - Hermès. Sur l'expression religieuse de l'espace et du mouvement chez les Grecs:, in Jean-Pierre Vernant, Mythe et pensée chez las Grecs. Étude de psychologie historique, 2 vol., Paris, 1974, pp. 155 - 201. 2)

Hestia sits in the middle. She stands still, but she is ubiquitous. Hermes, the quick one, can never be caught, like mercury. He never appears where he is expected and reigns over the space of travellers. Hestia embodies the gestures of settling down, of enclosing and of keeping. Hermes manifests the gestures of opening, trespassing, and speaks of mobility and of the encounter with the other. He is the God of transitions . He keeps guard on doors and limits, the entrance of cities as well as crossways and has for this reason many heads: Hermes trikephalos, tretrakephalos. Since graves are doors to the underworld, he is in necropoles and cemeteries. He accompanies the souls of the dead to the Hades: Hermes psychagogos, psychopompos. He is the protector of thieves, but he also protects houses from thieves. He is the messenger between Gods and humans: Hermes angelos. All those different aspects of Hermes's activity become only coherent in relation to Hestia's. Hermes makes mobile, Hestia centers. Hestia's place is the hearth, whose deeply rooted stone is a symbol of constancy. Hermes's place is near the door, that he protects from his companions the thieves: Hermes pyloros. Hermes's characteristics and activities are the asymmetrical complements of what Hestia is and does. (Arnold van Gennep, Les rites de passage: étude systématique des rites, Paris: 1909.)

Asymmetrical complementarity At every step of our analysis, we have acknowledged a polarity, or better an asymmetrical complementarity between constancy and change, center and periphery, the closed and the open, the interior and the exterior. That complementarity shapes all spaces, as well as the condition of their inoccupants. We are introduced into a world where by telling me which space you occupy and how, you tell me who you are. Neither term of the polarity can be understood alone, but always only in complement to the other. The tension between these two poles mirrors itself even in the definition of everyone of the terms: there is a Hestia in Hermes, a Hermes in Hestia. As we have already seen with the paradox of hospitality. Hermes's activities can always be interpreted in a hestian light, and vice-versa. In this hestian light, activities like bartering, buying and selling, which are Hermes's prerogatives can be seen as extensions of the logic of gift, over which Hestia reigns. Inversely, Hestia reigns over keeping activities in the house. In Hermes's light, these activities look like an accumulation, an interpretation who became widespread in classical times, where the granaries of the polis, managed by men, were called the Hestia Koinê. So Xenophon compared Hestia with the bee queen, "that stays in the middle of the beehive and sees that honey be well kept". He gives the cells of the beehive the same name that was given to the chambers in which precious goods were kept: thalamoi. As Hestia Koinê, Hestia becomes the symbol of the accumulation power of the city and of the union of their inhabitants around their granaries.

Hestia and Hermes in Greek philosophy Plato gives us a striking example of the absorption of Hermes by Hestia. Hermes is, you remember, the stone heap, the wooden pole on graves. As such, he personifies the central pole of a house, the stem of the big tree in the house patio or the phallos. Hestia is the stone of the hearth, that roots the bouse into the soil, but also the column of smoke that relates the infraworld with the sky. Plato lets the two figures merge into one. Hestia is for him the axis of the world. He plays with etymologicaly not quite founded - homonimities, allowing himself to compare Hestia with the pillar (histiê), the mast of a ship (istós), the woman at the loom, whom he called histia. In Republic, he compares Hestia with the spinning Goddess Anankê, who sits at the center of the universe and whose spindle's motion regulates the revolution of the heavenly spheres. Anankê also means necessity, or the erected phallus. Plato even invents two poetic etymologies for Hestia: ousia, the essence, and hosia, motion."

Die Community Days von Pokémon GO sind schon lange ein fester Bestandteil der Community-Engagement-Bemühungen des Spiels, bei denen Spieler die Chance haben, spezielle Pokémon mit exklusiven Attacken zu fangen. Doch wächst unter den Spielern die Sorge über die augenscheinliche Bevorzugung von Pokémon, die im Spieler-gegen-Spieler (PvP)-Kontext Vorteile bieten, während die Spieler-gegen-Umgebung (PvE)-Aspekte – darunter die Raid-Kämpfe des Spiels und andere Herausforderungen, die keinen direkten Wettbewerb zwischen Spielern beinhalten – oft vernachlässigt werden. Übersicht über die PvP-Zentrierung der Community Days Das typische Format eines Community Day-Events stellt ein einzelnes Pokémon in den Mittelpunkt und bietet für mehrere Stunden erhöhte Spawn-Raten dieses Pokémon. Die meisten der hervorgehobenen Pokémon erhalten eine neue oder exklusive Attacke, die ihre Leistung in den PvP-Ligen, insbesondere der Go Battle League (GBL), verbessert. Diese Tendenz zeigt sich in vergangenen Community Days, wie denen, die Brutalanda, Rihornior, Knakrack, Despotar und Metagross in den Fokus stellten – alle erhielten Attacken, die ihre Nützlichkeit im Wettkampf erheblich steigerten. Metagross: Erhielt die Attacke „Sternenhieb“, wodurch es sowohl in der Meisterliga (PvP) als auch als Stahltyp-Angreifer in Raids (PvE) zur Macht wurde. Brutalanda: Bekam „Drachenwut“, was sehr effektiv im PvP ist, es aber auch zu einem der besten Drachentyp-Angreifer in PvE-Szenarien machte. Trotz dieser Beispiele liegt die Kritik in der Balance und den Auswahlkriterien, die stark auf PvP-Anwendbarkeit abzielen und PvE-zentrierte Spieler, die einen erheblichen Teil der Spielerbasis ausmachen, ausklammern. Community-Reaktionen und Kritik Die Community-Reaktion auf neuere Events wie den Sarzenia Community Day war bestenfalls verhalten. Spieler äußerten auf Plattformen wie Reddit ihre Enttäuschung und wiesen darauf hin, dass die Hinzufügung eines schillernden Sarzenia mit einer auf PvP zentrierten Attacke redundant sei, da es bereits im Spiel existiert. Kommentare hoben den Mangel an „bedeutungsvollem Meta-Einfluss“ solcher Entscheidungen hervor und betonten die Notwendigkeit von Features, die gleichermaßen PvP- und PvE-Spieler ansprechen. Begrenzter PvE-Nutzen: Die meisten Community Day-Attacken verbessern die Wirksamkeit des Pokémon in Raids und anderem PvE-Content nicht signifikant. Vernachlässigung diverser Strategien: Spieler empfinden den aktuellen Ansatz als einschränkend für die strategische Vielfalt, insbesondere in PvE-Formaten, wo verschiedene Typen von Attacken und Pokémon oft vorteilhafter sind. Der ideale Community Day: Ein Gleichgewicht zwischen PvP und PvE Was die Community fordert, ist ein inklusiverer Ansatz, bei dem das ausgewählte Pokémon und seine exklusive Attacke beiden Zwecken dienen, das Spielerlebnis über PvP- und PvE-Formate hinweg verbessern. Ein leuchtendes Beispiel bleibt der Community Day von Trikephalo, bei dem es „Brutalschwingen“ erhielt. Diese Attacke machte Trikephalo zu einem formidablen Angreifer im PvE, während es gleichzeitig seinen Status in PvP-Kreisen erhöhte. Vorschläge zur Verbesserung Inklusive Attackenauswahl: Zukünftige Community Days sollten Attacken in Betracht ziehen, die die Nützlichkeit eines Pokémon im PvE erheblich steigern. Dieser Ansatz würde nicht nur Raid-Spieler zufriedenstellen, sondern auch den Gesamtwert des Community Day-Pokémon aufwerten. Erweiterung des Metas: Eine größere Bandbreite an Pokémon, die sowohl im PvP als auch im PvE glänzen können, würde das Interesse und die Einbindung der Spieler aufrechterhalten. Diese Strategie beinhaltet die Auswahl von Pokémon, die vielleicht nicht die üblichen Verdächtigen für jedes Format sind, aber mit der richtigen Attacke relevant werden können. Verbesserte Zugänglichkeit: Angesichts der geografischen und ressourcenbedingten Unterschiede zwischen den Spielern, insbesondere denen in ländlichen Gebieten, sind Attacken, die weniger zugängliche Pokémon wettbewerbsfähiger machen, wünschenswert.

Diese Anpassung könnte den Zugang zu mächtigen und meta-relevanten Pokémon über alle Spielerschichten hinweg demokratisieren. Fazit Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die Community Days von Pokémon GO zwar erfolgreich die Spielerbasis aktiv und engagiert halten, aber dennoch ein klares Bedürfnis für eine Strategieerneuerung besteht, die den Reiz dieser Events zwischen PvP- und PvE-Enthusiasten gleichermaßen ausgleicht. Durch die Annahme eines ganzheitlicheren Ansatzes bei der Auswahl der Pokémon und ihrer exklusiven Attacken kann Niantic das Spielerlebnis für einen größeren Teil seiner Community erheblich verbessern und sicherstellen, dass diese Events für jeden Spieler, unabhängig von seinem bevorzugten Spielstil, etwas Wertvolles bieten. Die Umsetzung dieser Änderungen würde nicht nur die aktuelle Unzufriedenheit besänftigen, sondern auch die Begeisterung der Community für bevorstehende Community Days beleben und möglicherweise die Teilnahmequoten und die allgemeine Zufriedenheit mit dem Spiel erhöhen. Um mehr über die sich entwickelnde Landschaft von Pokémon GO zu erfahren, sieh dir detaillierte Einblicke in Community Day-Events und ihren Einfluss auf die Spielerbasis an. Ebenso könnten für Spieler, die nach Updates in anderen Spielen suchen, die bevorstehenden Änderungen und Belohnungen in Genshin Impact 4.6 oder die strategischen Tiefen in SteamWorld Heist 2 ebenfalls interessante Entwicklungen bieten, die es zu entdecken gilt.

Fertig mit der Liga. Die wirkt doch echt kurz, aber ich hab dennoch Dinge, die ich echt mag und obwohl viele Leute das Finale nicht mögen, mag ich den kampf eigentlich. Nicht alle Stellen, aber mit Trikephalo und die Kämpfe mit Lucario sind recht gut und daran hab ich meinen Spaß. Will ich abe rnicht auseinandernehmen den kampf. Mag den Teilweise
