Grounding with Hekate

I've always found grounding a useful and meaningful practice. However, as a practicioner of the spirit model of magic, I've never felt purely energy-based techniques work for me as well as for energy workers. This new technique I've devised employs the help of my tutelary deity, Hekate, and proved much more effective for me. As I chose to explain things thoroughly, the instructions are long but don't fret - the rite itself is very simple. While I initially wanted to note that the practice relies on an established relationship with Hekate, she protested and told me she is willing to give that help to anyone who needs it. So - here we go.

HEKATE TRIANGLE

This piece is contemporarily in the British Museum of Natural History. It was spoken of in the Greek Magical Papyri as being used for invoking spirits. The witch would place their burning oil lamp in the center when summoning spirits.

Hekate is the three-bodied Goddess of witches and magic. She is the Queen of the Night (Goddess of Moon). Although she is a Titan, she aided the Olympian Gods and was recognized by Zeus as maintaining her dominance over the heavens, the underworld and the oceans (all of which she ruled before the birth of Zeus). She controls the intersections between these realms and neither spirits nor Gods may pass between them without her approval. She rules over all three-way crossroads (forks in the road). The key, torches, snake and athame (dagger) she is pictured holding also represent different areas of her dominance. She is also the goddess of the dead, etc., etc., etc...

Prayer to Selene (the Titan who is the physical Moon, one of the Goddesses with whom Hekate is synchretized) for any spell (PGM IV 2785-2890)

Come to me, o beloved mistress, three-faced Selene; kindly hear my sacred chants; Night’s ornament, Youthful One, Light Bringer to mortals, O child of morn who rides upon fierce bulls, Queen who drives your chariot on equal course with Helios, You dance with the triple forms of the triple Graces As you revel with the stars. You are justice and the threads of Fate: Klotho and Lachesis and Atropos Three-headed, you are Tisiphone, Megaira, Alekto, many-formed, who arm your hands with dreaded, murky lamps, who shake locks of fearful serpents on your brow, whose mouths sound the roar of bulls, whose womb Is decked with the scales of creeping things, With pois’nous rows of serpents down your back, Bound down with horrifying chains Night-crier, bull-faced, loving solitude, Bull-headed, you have eyes of bulls, the voice of dogs; you hide your forms in shanks of lions, Your ankle is wolf-shaped, fierce dogs are dear to you, wherefore they call you Hekate, Many-named, Mene, cleaving air just like Dart-shooter Artemis, Persephone, Shooter of deer, night shining, triple-sounding, Triple-headed, triple-voiced Selene Triple-pointed, triple-faced, triple-necked, And goddess of the triple ways, who hold Untiring flaming fire in triple baskets, you who oft frequent the triple way And rule the triple decades, unto me who is calling you be gracious and with kindness give heed, you who protect the spacious world at night, before whom daimons quake in fear And gods immortal tremble, goddess who Exalt men, you of many names, who bear fair offspring, bull-eyed, horned, mother of gods and men, and nature, mother of all things, For you frequent Olympos, and traverse the broad, boundless chasm. Beginning and end are you, and you alone rule all. For all things are from you, and in you, Eternal One, do all things come to their end.

Imagine who you could be if only you had the audacity.

If you didn’t care about looking stupid. If you weren’t afraid of making mistakes. If you didn’t put other people’s judgements before your own. If you didn’t neglect your responsibilities. If you didn’t procrastinate. If you didn’t let the toxic voice win. If you didn’t overthink everything. If you didn’t fear your own power.

Imagine that you have the audacity.

That you take bold actions. That you take accountability for yourself. That you unapologetically show your creativity to the world. That you ignore the naysayers. That you remain unbothered. That you allow yourself to be seen. That you embrace all that you are. That you speak your truth. That you allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them, then become a winner. That you speak highly to yourself. That you begin your journey right now.

Don’t block yourself from being your greatest.

H.S.

When Hekate first came to me, it felt like being held in crocodile's teeth. But it was the safest feeling in the world. Like a crocodile mother with babies in her mouth, she was holding me gently, keeping me from harm. Fearsome and loving.

I was 16. And ever since, I was her child.

In some depictions, she was said to carry a torch, a crescent moon, and a key, which is a symbol of her power over the boundaries between life and death.

Personality: Hecate is a complex and multi-faceted deity, representing the trinity of magic, knowledge and wisdom, as well as the boundaries between life and death. Her personality reflects that complexity and is a combination of contradictory traits, embodying both dark and mysterious aspects, as reflected by her position as Goddess of the Underworld, while also being a bright and benevolent figure, representing light and wisdom. She is often depicted as a three-headed woman, symbolizing her association with the crossroads and the triad of magic that she encapsulates.
