Today people around the world will be celebrating the Rite of Her Sacred Fires. This ritual was created and organized by Sorita d'Este, author and devotee of Hekate, in May of 2010. She plans to perform the ritual every May during the waxing full moon. I plan to take part in the Rite of Her Sacred Fires today with others around the world who are doing the same. For more information and access to the ritual, check out : Sacred Fires.
In honor of my matron Goddess, and for her sacred ritual, I wrote a small hymn, that I'm going to share here. Please feel free to share your own hymns/rituals in your comments as well!
Hekate! Hekate!
Queen of the night,
Your saffron robes, flowing in moon light,
Coiled with snakes,
Accompanied by dogs,
Torches in your hands,
Flames of gold.
Mistress of darkness,
Goddess of the moon,
Your sacred fires are in bloom.
Lady of the triple formed worlds,
Earth, sea and sky,
I dance in your sacred fires tonight!
Hail Hekate!
Blessings to all who will be celebrating the Rite of Her Sacred Fires today!

ReplyDelete"Your sacred fires are in bloom." What a wonderful line! I imagine fires being seen from above, lit across the whole world and looking like beautiful bright flowers. How lovely!! You have a gift for poetry. It is clear, simple but also very powerful!
ReplyDeleteThank you both for the kind words! Many blessings!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I can't write a line of poetry to save my life. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThough Isis is my patron Goddess, Hekate is one Goddess that has always resonated with me.
Honestly, I love the waxing and dark moon better than I like the full one. I find it's energy very intense and sharply focusing.
Goddess blessings to you!
