Protection and Healing

Mother Hekate, show me my roots. Show me my crown. From the stars to the grave, and all that is between.

Glorious Hekate! Daughter of destruction, born of the stars!

Hekate Kleidoukhos - Keeper of the Keys to the Cosmic Mysteries!

Hekate Ourania, Empress of the Starry Cosmos!

Hekate Khthonia, Empress of the Earth and Underworld!

Hekate Enalia, Empress of the Dark Seas!

Mother, You know my fears. You know why those fears exist. You know the road I walk. The roads everyone in our home walk, and how the paths weave in and out of each other. The stretches where we walk the same road together, and the little turns each of us takes along the way. 

I don't understand it all, Hekate. I suspect part of what I'm learning is that I don't get to eventually understand it all. How to balance my desire to understand and drive to learn with there being limits on what will be revealed to me. Those limits exist for reasons that...well, I don't entirely understand that, either. But I know they are valid.

So I don't always know how to bring these things to You. I am learning that I don't have to always have clear words for these things. Yes, there are valid reasons for that, but there are also the personal lessons I have to learn. Sometimes I see myself as a work-in-progress in the forge of Hephaistos. Melting, pouring, hammering...all to shape me into who/whatever it is I am the best version of myself as. And I believe the best version of myself can be of service to You, to other Shining Immortal Ones, to Nature Spirits, to the Ancestors. I want to be that best version of myself.

Sometimes that means I have to break down, open myself up, and admit I don't know what I'm doing. I have to be honest and vulnerable. The offering I give is myself, and that has to be genuine.

I thank You for the protection You have given to my traveling family members so far, and I ask that the protection continues. I thank You and our patron Hermes. I thank Others who have given their guidance and protection.

Mother, You know my fears. You know who shares my fears. You know the fears that others in the house have, and you know the fears we don't share. And, Mother, You know the pain and damage that has been done. You know how any bit of the fears becoming reality would do so much more damage. We need to heal. And, yes, I will say it...I need to heal! I deserve the healing, and I can be of best service going through the healing and coming out as that best version of myself. 

Guide and protect us, Glorious Hekate. I have devoted myself to You. I have sworn to be in service to You as long as I live the life in this body. Please, Mother, give the protective, guidance, and healing so that I may make the most of that promise and find my joy in service to You. I see paths opening for myself. You have heard and seen me making plans for following those paths. Keep those doors open, I pray, and lock out the toxic and abusive forces that would bring damage to that work.

I give myself to You. My pain, my fears, my hopes, my successes. I am Yours, Mother Hekate!

From the stars to the grave, and all that is between.
