Khaire Hekate Pandoteira!

All-giving. The source of all blessings. Hesiod said You were all-receiving. I understand why that can be argued with, and I don't claim to be thinking of You as Hesiod did, but I can see in my own way how "all-giving" and "all-receiving" can go together. I say that I give so that You may give, so that I may give again. In an agreement of hospitality, it implies that You do the same.

But how can You be the source of all blessings when their are other gods who give their own blessings? I think that question is rooted in a monotheistic understanding of things. And my understanding is more henotheistic than anything. You are the source of the blessings I receive. Even blessings others have given, I only was able to make agreements with them because of what I have experienced with and learned from You. I don't know what it may mean for someone who worships differently, but it is true that You are the source of all of my blessings.

Khaire Hekate Pandoteira!

I had so little to offer then. So little space to offer it in. You led me out of something I don't even have words for, and into...a very different something I don't have words for. How could I not devote space to you? How could I not give what little I had to You when You gave so much to me?

Glorious Hekate Einalia, Empress of the Dark Seas! It is World Ocean Day. I thank You for Your presence in my life as the Lake Monster, and more recently as Mother Hydra.

I thank You for baths, showers, swimming pools, and glasses of water to drink. I thank You for rainy days and thriving plants. I thank You for the aquatic entry to other realms. I thank You for Your presence in everything that exists in our physical world, as well as the many ways water exists in other worlds. Khaire Hekate Einalia! Praise Lake Monster! Iä Mother Hydra!
