A Call unto the Goddess of the Night

Heka, Hekat, Hekate, Hekate!

 
O' Hecate, Ancient Goddess please preside over this,

our practice of the Arte of the Mysteries of the Moon,

ever abiding in Thy Presence and Bliss Undying,

be with us this evening our Lady of Midnight's Noon!
 

Mistress of Magic, here upon the Cross'd Way we stand,

we humbly seek and beseech the Powers of Thy Dark Grace,

by the Powers of the Emerald Toad and the Wise Serpent,

come upon Our Compass with Black Embrace.
 

O' Hecate, by the Reddened Skull and the Verdant Leaf,

We call upon the Powers of the Holy Wain,

Mistress of the Keys and Lady of the Crossed-Roads,

Open the Sacred Gates and show the Blessed Way!
 

Mother of the Wise, Great Goddess of Heaven and Hell,

Gracious Light-bearer of the Full Moon's Power,

A Sacred and Blessed Essence abloom like a Flower,

Descend, arise, within Our Compass be Alive!

 
O' Hekate! Open the Way, ever by the Sign of the Crooked Path.

 

(Here follows an inscribing upon the Aires the Aethyric Form of the Crooked Serpent with Astral Light, begin chanting "Heka, Hekat, Hekate, Hekate!" until Her presence is felt, and follow with small moment of reflection and contemplation.)
