A Hekate Rite For You.
There is less than 2 weeks before the start of the next cycle of Sorcery of Hekate. For those who haven’t decided yet whether this kind of training is a good fit for them, this short invocation and chant might help give you a sign one way or the other. To be clear: you don’t need a sign. As I said in the latest episode of Witches and Wine, your own interest and agency is sign enough. But if you are seeking clarity – this rite may give you some.
The rite is simple enough. If you can set up an altar with a Picture of Hekate, either from antiquity or one of the ones attached to a post for the course, and set a candle on each side of it, that is best. If not you can visualize her before you in the six armed form shown in this post.
THE LAUGHTER OF HEKATE
HEKAS light left candle or clap to the left.
HEKAS light right candle or clap to the right.
ESTE BEBELOI clap loudly one time in front of you.
AFAR, AFAR, BE ALL YE PROFANE.
PROFANE BEINGS THAT INTEND OBSTRUCTION AND HARM
PROFANE DISTRACTIONS OF MIND THAT CLOUD MY CLARITY
PROFANE CONCEPTS THAT PERPETUATE ILLUSION
BY THE FIRES OF HEKATE YOU ARE REDUCED TO DUST!
HAIL MANY NAMED MOTHER OF THE GODS, WHOSE CHILDREN ARE FAIR
HAIL MIGHTY HEKATE OF THE THRESHOLD, KEYHOLDER OF THE WORLD

LADY OF LIGHT, AND THE DARKNESS THAT CONTAINS IT
GRANT ME THE PLEASURE OF YOUR PRESENCE
YOU WHO WALKS DISHEVELED AND WILD THROUGH TOMBS AND CREMATION GROUNDS CLOAKED IN SAFFRON, CROWED WITH OAK LEAVES AND COILS OF SERPENTS

YET IS ALSO THE LUMINOUS EMPRESS OF THE EMPYRIAN REALMS.

SEND ME A SIGN
YOU WHO ARE THE VERY THREAD OF THE FATES!
WEAVE IT INTO INTO EXISTENCE!
MAY CLOTHO SPIN IT FORTH
MAY LACHESIS ALLOT IT
MAY ATROPOS MAKE IT INEVITABLE
Repeat the following mantra as many times as possible. 100 times minimum. 1000 times is preferable when seeking a sign.
IO HEKA IO HO
When you feel that the presence of Hekate has been evoked and stabilized into your sphere through the call and the mantra, you can move on to the offerings.
Your offering for this rite can be as simple as rubbing your hands together and offering the heat. If you want to do more, you can offer wine poured in the ground and that will rise to the sky. If you want to do still more you can offer an egg, covered in honey, surrounded by dandelions. After the rite you can leave it at a three way or four way crossroads.
I THANK YOU HEKATE FOR YOUR PRESENCE. AND FOR THE SIGN YOU HAVE GIVEN.
I GIVE OFFERING AND PRAISE TO YOU IN ALL YOUR FORMS
I GIVE OFFERING AND PRAISE TO THE FATES
I GIVE OFFERING AND THANKS TO THE UNTIMELY DEAD WHO FOLLOW YOU
I GIVE OFFERING AND THANKS TO THE EMPUASE, MORMO, GORGO, AND OTHER SPIRITS UNDER YOUR COMMAND
MAY ALL BE PLEASED.
MAY ALL BE AT PEACE.
EGO SE ETELESA
CHA EE RO !
CHA EE RO!
CHA EE RO!
You may receive a sign during the chanting. The first time I ever did this chant I heard her laughter over it, thus the name of the rite. You may receive a sign during the offering – especially if you make the trip to leave it at a crossroads. More commonly you may receive a sign after the rite: sometimes an omen, sometimes a dream, sometimes something more. You can also perform a divination immediately after completing the chanting, but before the offering and close. Whatever your preferred method is fine.
If signs are not clear, you can perform the rite three times on three consecutive nights. Do not skip nights in between.
If you decide to join the course, you will learn many secrets behind these words. If you decide not to, please keep the rite and use it whenever you like. You can change the request for a sign to a request for action or knowledge of any kind.
