Hekate-Triple Goddess-Goddess of the Crossroads.

Morning Prayer to Hekate 11-11-22

My Incredible Goddess

Thank you for this day and every new day

You who walk among the graves

Guide those who have recently joined you

Give them comfort in the afterlife and bring them peace

Bring me comfort in my daily life, so that I may be at peace as well

Use your torch to light my path

Guide my way to help me make good decisions

And that I may make the right choices toward good health and success

You are great and powerful

Fill me with your magick so I may use your magick in my daily life

Surround me with your greatness and protect me from harm or attacks my Goddess

I will honor and love you each and every day

So Let it be

HEKATE PROTECTION RITUAL

Call upon Hekate when you are beset upon by hostile forces, surrounded by thick psychic attacks and drowning in personal negativity. The Goddess of Witches is near at hand for those that are suffering from mental disturbances and conditions and all kinds of abuse and oppression. In asking her to attend to your space, you are asking for clearing and healing in body/mind/soul of all that wishes to torture and oppress.

THE RITUAL

Use candles and symbols associated with her in colour, shape, or essence (black, red, white, yellow, horses, snakes, torches, cauldrons, dogs etc.). Cast a circle and meditate upon an image or figurine dedicated to her/you associate with her. Carve words and/or symbols (pentagram etc.) on the candle for additional charging. Anoint the candle with a potent oil picturing protection dripping from the bottle.

Begin to pray and surround yourself with a flaming aura as you light the candle. Call on your guardians and the four corners. Invoke the goddess into your space. Cry out for protection, for purification, for banishing and a barrier between you and all that wishes to harm you. Feel her fill you and the space, like a presence from behind enveloping you with large wings. 

Name out loud the forces harming you and all that is hurting you. Reclaim all that is yours. Visualize a vortex ripping through the room with you at the calm centre, creating a barrier to anything that would disturb your peace. Chant a hymn dedicated to Hekate (you can use a well known one, one of your own created in the past, or on the spot speak from the heart). Watch the candle as it burns down. Meditate. Release all that is burdening you, speak words that are true, cry, sob, shake and rock.

Sit in vigil until the candle snuffs out. After the ritual, sit for a while and receive the dark mother’s medicine. Afterwards, crawl into bed, feel the protection and the newly found courage and determination to get through obstacles. Record your dreams the next morning because she will send a powerful messenger and symbols to light your path and clear the way. You may even have been left a message in the candle wax!

Best performed:

Between midnight and 3 am

In a pitch black room (begin in darkness and to darkness you return as the candle is snuffed out)

When you are in the thick of it: hitting roadbloacks/being abused/feeling oppressed and surrounded by hostile forces.

May you find the peace you seek.

"Ragana's name derives from a root word meaning "horn" or "crescent". Alternatively, her name derives from a root verb meaning "to see". Ragana is an ancient pre-Indo-European spirit, a powerful prophetess who reveals the future. She also knows the past: devotion to Ragana dates back to the Neolithic era, the New Stone Age. Ragana rules over night, winter, birth, death, destruction, rebirth and regeneration. She is a goddess of fertility, abundance and menopause, which begins with the touch of her red wand. Ragana, the prophetess, sees all, knows all and is all-powerful. She is a goddess of death and a master healer who can supposedly cure any illness or disease. Ragana can bless or curse. She controls the fertility and milk supply of women and animals. It causes and cures infertility and impotence. Ragana controls the weather, raising and calming storms and winds. She is the guardian of the cycles of nature: creation, growth, decline and destruction. Ragana can be understood as a spirit of balance. Even her negative powers can be understood as a blessing. Ragana stops the rise of the sun after the summer solstice. What would happen if the power of the sun was not controlled? If after the Summer Solstice, the power of the sun only increased? • There may be a goddess Ragana. • There may be a family of closely related spirits all called Ragana. • There may be one more goddess Ragana with her retinue of servants, lesser but still formidable spirits called Raganas. • Ragana's priestesses and mortal devotees are also known as Ragana. In modern Latvia and Lithuania, the word ragana literally means “witch” (and not in the most positive sense of the word!). According to Lithuanian folklore, witches fly to the tops of hills to meet Ragana on her holy night, the Winter Solstice. Ragana cuts ice holes in frozen lakes to bathe in icy water. Ragana rarely walks. She flies by transforming into a bird or riding on a branch, twig or tree stump. Ragana is a seer. She doesn't necessarily want to be seen. Woe to the men who surprise her and her servants, especially if they are caught bathing, dancing, skipping, celebrating or otherwise in ritual. First Ragana and Raganas devour men sexually; then they literally devour them."

"Ragana was demonized long before Christianity arrived in the region. Worshiped before the arrival of the Indo-Europeans, she was never assimilated or incorporated into their pantheon, in which male deities like Perkunas play dominant roles. Pre-Indo-European goddesses were assimilated by marriage to these deities. Ragana, apparently not ideal wife material, was not married to any of them. Author Vilija Vyté in the book Of Gods and Holidays: The Baltic Heritage describes Ragana as the "nightmare of patriarchy". After the arrival of Christianity, her image only worsened: Ragana was demoted to a witch who supposedly brings misfortune to humans and animals, a warning perhaps intended to make devotees stop worshiping her. Fairy tales often portray Ragana as grotesque. The stories simultaneously celebrate and warn against it. Like her Russian soul mate, Baba Yaga, Ragana may be portrayed as a cannibal, but her spiritual appeal and mastery remain powerful. Ragana is invoked in positive and malevolent magic. Spells and enchantments attempt to focus (or redirect!) her legendary destructive powers against the spellcaster's enemies. She is an increasingly popular neo-pagan goddess."

Mood board for my matron goddess, Ave Hekate🗝️

Finished the first sketch of the first part of a triptych dedicated to the Unknown Goddess of Dimension 20's Fantasy High: Sophomore Year. This one is called "The Unknown" the middle one will be "The Passion of St. Kristen Applebees" and the final right panel will be "I Don't Know." Despite being a certified JeWitch, I really relate to Kristen's journey for spiritual meaning. I've been really struggling with my chronic pain and the isolation and anger I feel towards The System for constantly traumatizing me in the endeavor to achieve some sort of wellness. Embracing the unknown is something I've always been passionate about (I mean I used to be a literal occultist which means hidden knowledge) and I also think it's the key to accepting my situation. This piece is a reflection of that journey.

Hecate Enodia

She who stands with us at every crossroads. She who removes obstacles and helps us to move forward. She who unlocks our power and sends us into the world to help others unlock their power, too. Hecate is everywhere, she is everything, she lives in everyone and she is worthy of devotion. She does not shame us for being human, instead she asks us to embrace it. She does not demand worship, instead she accepts offerings in return of great power and manifestations. She does not look down upon us, instead she helps us to discover our magic and our confidence in said magic. She is the creator, she is God. She is the Goddess of the night, of the shadows and even of the light. Hecate is the higher power we all seek to know. And if you’re reading this, you are hearing Hecate call. Answer her.

In a purely symbolic form, the underworld may not be a physical place but rather a representation of the deeper layers of the mind, where memories and feelings are buried, perhaps those that happened to us in our youth, just as Persephone suffered trauma as a young person. Demeter’s grief may represent the sorrow or depression that we can suffer as adults if those things are not addressed. In that case, Hekate’s torches serve as a guide for us to reunite with the parts of ourselves we used to be before we suffered the injury. In this role, Hekate’s torches light the way toward healing.

Maria Lionza, Lady of the spirits and souls.

The cult of the indigenous goddess Yara de la Onza or Maria Lionza in Venezuela, the same spiritualist cult that has spread to other countries such as Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, ultimately transcends the comprehension of those occultists and sorcerers who do not reside there.

Maria Lionza is cited in a few books. Most define her as a Venezuelan indigenous legend, a female spirit of native origin, or a "local goddess" of spirits and nature. In Venezuela, Maria Lionza is all of these definitions and more. She is a high magic spiritual entity that assists all those who feel isolated, unappreciated, belittled, marginalized, and mistreated. She and all those who oppose the ideas of the system brought by the colonizers: racism, transphobia, homophobia, religious imposition, patriarchy, etc.

Maria Lionza represents the wild, free, indomitable, and matriarchal aspect of Nature. It is the old story of an indigenous woman who rebelled against the religious institution and freed enslaved people. It is the never-written tale of a powerful woman who discovers in her femininity an intimate connection to divinity and, through it, finds the power to lead the rebellion and claim her role until death and beyond.

Between Animas & Spirits

Maria Lionza acts as a liberator of the Animas and souls from purgatory, just as she was a liberator of the indigenous peoples enslaved by the European colonizers.

She is the central character in the spiritist cult of the animas and spirits in Venezuela. Although the term "Animas" has a massive variety of results according to each Latin American country, in the spiritist aspect, it is the term commonly used to refer to those lost souls, martyred souls, and souls that wander aimlessly in pain, either for having committed suicide or murder, for having seriously harmed others, or (following Catholic tradition) for not having received baptism, although today the latter can be referred to more broadly in the aspect of being an anima that did not follow an established religious current or another spiritual path, and simply has no direction of ascension to follow in the afterlife.

Maria Lionza is the leader of her own spiritual court, and contrary to Santa Barbara, another character of great relevance in the spiritualist cults of the region, who appears as a more modern character and is linked to the Catholic people, Maria Lionza represents the indigenous ancestors and pagan warriors of the past, native sorceresses and their pre-colonization magic, nature's herbal and medicinal secrets, and a connection to all the wild animals of which she has been proclaimed queen.

The animas and spirits serve as messengers of Maria Lionza, a queen in the world of spirits and fairies, the latter being very different characters in Latin America from their European version, darker in character and with a very different origin.

Being a Marialioncero, a priest of Maria Lionza, also implies being a sorcerer who agrees with all these spirits that are present, working at their service and charging them through favors. Conquering the world of spirits is a particular task that requires years of training and constant practice. These are esoteric mysteries not found in books and encyclopedias but hidden in plain sight and in constant and changing practice.

The spirits of low light and the animas act as servants of the queen. They come to the sorcerer or the Chaman to agree in exchange for mutual favors, thus being for them a mission to fulfill beyond life, thus allowing them to somehow way to free themselves from the chains and agony of being souls in pain and serve, beyond death, a purpose superior to them, a spiritual entity of greater power, and work shoulder to shoulder with priests, warriors, and sorcerers of the goddess.

Goddess Hekate

A devotional poem I wrote for the Goddess Hekate. The image I used represents the way I saw in a very vivid vision of Hekate during meditation.

Triple Goddess of the crossroads, mother of witches, the outcasts In the realm of the dead, with your hellhounds to guard you Guardian of the dead, spirits of the recently passed Please gift me with your guidance on my path Grant me with your wisdom, Mother Hekate Manifest your influence & will over my life Show me significant signs, synchronicities & anything I should pay attention to

Mother Hekate, I wish to honour you, to show my respect, loyalty In the moonlight, under cover of darkness take my hand & lead the way Show me the way to transformation, to transcend all human limitations Help me to embolden my will, to empower my intentions, my belief in myself Please grant me with the keys to Gnosis, to enter your realm Send your hellhounds to protect me from vicious foes, lecherous deceivers

Take matters into your own hands that you see fit to resolve I humbly bow to thee Mother Hekate in respect & devotion Burn away anything that no longer serves me, what is not meant for me Dismantle my old self, to rebuild & forge a stronger, healed, empowered version of myself Teach me the old ways, the dark path to unique personal Gnosis Help me to discover my true potential, what i'm truly capable of My deepest desires freely expressed without judgement Hail Mother Hekate

Just when I was thinking about my career and next chapter of my life stuff about Hecate popped up in my email.

Prayer to Hekate 11-21-22

Good morning Great Goddess

Thank you for your love and your patience

You always watch over and guide me

Even when I don't know you're there

Your strength sees me through the hardest times

When my anxiety becomes too much

You are there to pull me through

Thank you for all you do

See me through today Dear Goddess

Guide my way and light my path

Help me not to dwell on past mistakes

But to focus on the path ahead

Guide me to make wise decisions

And I ask that you help me be smart in my interactions

Protect me from harm from those who may wish to hurt me

Place your shields of protection around me and surround me in your strength and power

I rest in your might and wield your darkness

Fill me with your Magick as you are the most Powerful Witch of Witches

Thank you for all that you do oh Goddess. My love for you is great and my devotion to you is strong.

I will always love and honor you

So Let it Be

I decided to draw how I see Hecate tonight! I wanted to do this as a bit of an offering piece to her, and I’m so happy with how she came out!
