Hekate
February 2021

Goddess of the crossroads, of transitions, of liminal space...

Oh cunning, lofty, swift, 

O crested one, who draw swords, valiant, 

Healer, with forethought, far-famed, goading one,

Swift-footed, brave, crimson, Darkness, Brimo,

Immortal, heedful, Persian, pastoral, 

Alkyone, gold-crowned, the elder goddess, 

Shining, sea-goddess, ghostly, beautiful, 

The one who shows, skiff-holder, aiming well,

Self-gendered, wearing headband, vigorous,

Leader of hosts, O goddess of Dodona,
Of Ida, e’er with sorrows fresh, wolf-formed,
Denounced as infamous, destructive, quick,
Grim-eyed, shrill-screaming, Thasian, Mene,
O Nethermost one, beam-embracer, savior,
World-wide, dog-shaped, spinner of Fate, all-giver,
Long-lasting, glorious, helper, queen, bright,
Wide-aimer, vigorous, holy, benign,
Immortal, shrill-voiced, glossy-locked, in bloom,
Divine, with golden face, delighting men,
Minoan, goddess of childbirth, Theban,
Long-suffering, astute, malevolent.
With rays for hair, shooter of arrows, maid;
I truly know that you are full of guile

And are deliverer from fear

- from 'Document to the Waning Moon'
Greek Magical Papyri IV. 2244—2358 (trs. Betts)
