Answering the Call

Glorious Hekate! Dark Mother! Soul of the World!

I feel this pull in myself tonight. There's this inner voice that whispers, "Pay respect to Her!" I don't really know how to answer. You know, of course, that I honor You in the temple. You know that I carry the key at all times. I find it difficult to believe You keep up with every detail of the lives of each of us who are devoted to You, but I think You have some sense of what happens that is directly related to or communicated to You. I don't know how it all works, Mother. I am human and do not experience or process things as a deity does. I don't claim to fully understand what a deity is. You are very, very different from me. I am blessed to be chosen by You.

And that's all I know to say right now. It feels a little foolish, as if I have wasted time and space just giving a short ramble of words. But I know to pay attention when that little voice pushes me to show my devotion and express my gratitude. And I have prayed to You before about sometimes feeling lost and not knowing if what I can give is "good enough". And there is big work happening this week! This month! It is, in many ways, a very spiritual time for me. I do not want to wander away from You. I want to follow Your light as I make this journey. So this prayer may be a little rough around the edges, but that's because it is very honest. This is where I am right now, and I am honored to share any space with You. Khaire Glorious Hekate!
