Hekate, deathless one, granter of comfort
and of might, enigmatic goddess,
friend of women, of those in direst need
of your protection, kind one, strong one,
holder of the home against all evil.
Hekate, ancient one, daughter of Titans,
cousin and ally of thundering Zeus,
esteemed by him above all others,
holder alone of shares in all the worlds,
receiver of crossroad offerings,
deep one, subtle one, night-wandering goddess,
guide of those whose journey takes them through dark
and hidden places, who follow paths unmarked,
unknown. Hekate, defender of those
whose suffering is greatest, companion
of those who travel through the blackest depths,
bright-haired Hekate, I honor you.
