 Welcome to this virtual Hekatesion. May you give honor and receive blessing while you are here.


Hekatesion?

Yes. A shrine to Hekate.


Virtual?

Oh, I played with that one for a while before deciding! Online shrine? Internet shrine? Digital? Cyber?

I remember reading a discussion once about those words being mostly synonymous, but each being applied more to some areas than others. "Virtual" was the one that didn't really have a precise area of technology to be applied to. It's more about a concept. An in-between thing. The intangible reality of Internet spaces, but also the possibility that virtual things don't exist at all.

So, yes. Virtual.


Why?

I couldn't let go of the idea, even though I had a list of reasons not to take on something like this. I know that persistent subtle nudge. The one that adds a detail to what the offering should be every time I tell myself I already have plenty of projects. The one that gives me only so much time to realize a request is being made.

I remember the days of virtual shrines and altars in the late 90s. Very few of those sites exist anymore. A lot of them were on Geocities. 

I decided a blog format would probably work best for me, being the one to tend this virtual shrine for Her. I  took the monthly archive and label archive off the side. Scroll through, wander...

Let Her guide you.

You were there when there was nothing.

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?

Khaire Hekate Einalia!

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 the alligator who followed the boat. I thank You for the lakes, rivers, and beaches. I thank You for humpback whales. I thank You for the turtles. 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!
