As a primary source of life and sustenance, the supremely radiant presence of Helios brings blessings for health, vitality, energy and growth. We might call upon Helios for favourable weather, abundant harvests, and the proper passage of the seasons.

Father to Circe, Phaethon, and other significant mythological figures, Helios' power is nurturing - providing them with the wisdom and power inherited from a divine being - yet it is also stern, enforcing the boundaries of their abilities. He brings not only life and illumination, but also the structure and discipline necessary for growth and learning.

Witness to all things from his elevated position, Helios may be invoked for protection during travel, especially journeys taken during daylight. From this all-seeing position he is also an icon of truth and an enforcer of justice. His guidance may be invoked to ensure fairness or to uncover what is hidden.

Come to me
From the four winds of the world,
Air-traversing, great god.
Hear me in every ritual which I perform

First from the firstborn you
Appeared, created carefully from water
That’s turbulent, who founded all the world:
Abyss, Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and in turn
Ether and roaring rivers, red-faced moon,
Heaven’s stars, morning stars, the whirling planets.
'Tis by your counsels they attend all things.

Come to me
Lord, you who sometimes raise the light,
Sometimes lower the darkness, with your own power.

Because I invoke your holy name from every side.
You who were begotten in every human body,
inspire us.

- from PGM III 494-611
'Spell to establish a relationship with Helios'
