In the presence of Hekate, the Triformis goddess reigning over the underworld, earth, and sky, this prayer unfolds as a heartfelt invocation to the keeper of keys and wielder of torches. As we ask her for guidance, protection, and grace, we accept the many sides of Hekate — Enodia of crossroads, Chthonia of underworld, and Phosphoros of light. We go on a journey through the deep realms of this honored goddess, learning her role as Soteira, the savior, Propylaia, the gatekeeper, and Kleidouchos, the key-holder. May this journey strengthen our bond with Hekate’s wisdom and brighten our paths with her endless light.
“Great Hekate, Triformis Goddess of the Underworld, the earth, and the sky, keeper of the keys, wielder of the torches, I come before you now, humbled by your power and grace, seeking your divine presence, guidance, and protection.
As Enodia, the Goddess of the Crossroads, you stand at the threshold between worlds, guiding the lost and uncertain, offering your torches as beacons of hope, lighting the way for those who seek the truth, for those who seek a way forward, a way to their destiny.
As Chthonia, the Goddess of the Underworld, you hold the keys to the gates of the underworld and preside over the realm of the dead. Your power extends beyond the physical world and into the spiritual and emotional realms, where you offer guidance and strength to those in need. You challenge us to confront our fears, to embrace our inner darkness, to emerge stronger, wiser, and more resilient, and to find the courage to face whatever may come.
As Phosphoros, the Bringer of Light, you illuminate the darkness with your torches and dispel the shadows that cloud the mind. You offer clarity and insight, guiding us towards the truth, towards greater understanding and enlightenment. Your light shines upon us all, a beacon of hope and a source of inspiration.
As Soteira, the Savior Goddess, you offer protection and deliverance from harm, danger, and negativity. You shield us from all that threatens to harm us, protect us from all that seeks to derail us, deliver us safely to our destination, and offer us the hope of a brighter tomorrow filled with possibility and promise.
As Propylaia, the Gatekeeper Goddess, you stand guard at the thresholds of temples and cities, protecting those who seek sanctuary within. You offer us protection and security, a safe space in which to rest and heal. You guard the gates of our hearts and souls, protecting us from all that seeks to harm us and guiding us towards greater peace and well-being.
As Kleidouchos, the Key-bearer, you hold the keys to all the mysteries and secrets, unlocking the gates to the knowledge and wisdom that will help us navigate the challenges of life. You offer us access to the wisdom of the ages, to the truths that lie hidden within us all, to the secrets of the universe itself.
Hekate, great Goddess of the Crossroads, with a heart full of gratitude, I offer my sincerest thanks for your unwavering love and guidance. May your grace and blessings surround me now and forevermore, infusing every moment of my life with your divine presence. As I embark on the journey of life, I pray that your eternal light will continue to shine upon me, illuminating my way and providing me with the courage and strength to face any challenge.
In the radiant glow of your eternal light, Hekate, I walk with gratitude and courage, guided by your wisdom. Blessed be, now and always.”
