Prayer to Hekate
Hekate
I praise Hekate of the crossroads; venerable Enodia, heavenly, khthonian and of the sea; saffron-robed, of the grave, entwined in Bakkhic revelries with the souls of the dead; Perseia, the lonely, rejoicing with the deer; nocturnal, invincible queen, accompanied by dogs and the shrieking of beasts; she of the irresistible countenance, armoured, bull-drawn, key-bearing queen of all the world; ruler, nymph, nurturer, you who frequent the mountains, I plead with you, Maiden, attend this holy ceremony with joyful disposition and good intent towards the worshippers.
