Prayer to Hecate

 

"Yes, lend me your hand I pray and reveal to me the pathways of Divine Guidance that I long for. Then shall I gaze upon that precious Light whence I can flee the evil of our dark origin. 

Yes, lend me your hand I pray - and when I am weary, bring me to the haven of piety with your winds.  Hail, many-named mother of the Gods, whose children are fair. Hail, mighty Hekate of the Threshold."

(Proclus Diadochus Hymn, trans. Vogt; marble relief from Crannon, Thessaly, 4th century BCE. The British Museum.)
