Keys that mark the path

Glorious Hekate! Mother Hekate! Queen!

I have been concerned about keeping things managed so that I don't slack off on showing and expressing my devotion to You. Sometimes it seems like it was a silly concern. Sometimes I see simply being concerned as a sign of devotion.

I guess, even after all this time, I'm still not used to a relationship with an Immortal One that I wasn't just told I "should" devote myself to. Or maybe saying "not used to it" isn't an adequate expression of things. I'm still often influenced by how the past has gone. You know my history. I grew up in Christian churches and a society with more Christian influence than people are comfortable recognizing. In Paganism, it's been a long journey that led me many places, but none ended up being where I would stay until I found You. 

The keys continue to become important. But it was always keys You left as signs for me. Even when I didn't know why yet. I know we often speak of You as Torchbearer, lighting our paths. You will never completely fit with human words and phrases, though, and I love that about You! In my experience, it's usually not the light of Your torches marking the path for me. It's the keys along the way.

Thank You for the keys, Mother.
