In 2 Corinthians 9:15, Paul calls us to reflect on God’s “inexpressible gift.” While Paul doesn’t specify the gift directly, it’s widely understood to refer to the gift of Jesus Christ and the salvation we receive through Him. This gift is beyond full comprehension, too wonderful for words. It’s a gift that meets our deepest needs and transforms our lives from the inside out. In response to such…

Artwork by Machuca

Offering yourself to Hekáte:

Hekáte, enjoys offerings that are not only personal to Her but personal to those devoted to Her as well.

Artwork, poetry, song, dance, chants, and prayers that you have created. Offer Her your favorite food, play your favorite song for Her, sweepings from your home, flowers from your garden. Strands of your hair, a spritz of your perfume, clippings from your nails.

Continue to offer Her things that She loves but don't forget to pour yourself and your love into those offerings too.

Hekáte called you, She wants to know you, She wants your devotion.

Hail the Goddess of All, Hekáte Enodia.

Hail to the Old Gods;

The ancient ones, Deities of forest, mountain, and sea, for whom my ancestors poured from their ram horns.

Hail to the god of emotions, who teaches us when to embrace chaos and when to refrain for the moment.

Hail to the goddess of seiðr, who holds the key of divination in the waves of her golden hair trailing down her breasts.

Hail to the god of strength, guardian of the deer herds, who teaches me when to cry for help and when to stand and gore. Hail to the Allfather, whose unconventional wisdom hurt me greatly in the moment, but saved my soul from perpetual insanity through the binding of runes.

(Thank you all for everything)

Hail to the Old Gods.

DA OC Question!!

Aside from their love interest, did your Warden/Hawke/Inquisitor have a crush on anyone? What did they admire about that person? Was it a fleeting crush, or something more?

Hecate Enodia,

As you guided Demeter to her daughter Persephone, guide me on this new journey

As I explore my new path with you, may your torches keep my path true.

May your dogs keep me company and guard me as I explore the darkness with you.

Lady of the crossroads, and keeper of keys, never let me find a locked door, or a road I cannot tread.

Mother,

I have heard your call, and am yours eternal, dispel my doubts and fears that I may serve you to my fullest, that you may one day call me home.

Small Pleasures

The oaky aftertaste of a classic roasted cup of coffee

The deep bass of a low note on a violin or cello

The soft, silvery light of the moon on concrete

The way words jump and dance and sing in a poem

The cool touch of my partner's hand on my cheek

The flame in my soul that alights during prayer

The chill in the air during morning golden hour

The satisfaction of finishing a new crochet stitch line

The smiles of my loved ones

The calm pleasure of an early morning

The opening of a new blossom

The crackle of a fire

Yesterday I made corn tortillas from scratch. Baby steps towards making bread. It's the little things.

Gratitude attracts the favor and blessing of God! It is an acknowledgment that everything you have comes from God. Gratitude allows you to shine brighter in this dark world.

Hekáte, Queen of Witches,

Mother of All, Keeper of the Cosmos,

I humbly thank You for always providing for my needs.

[theareiandaughter]

no matter who I was being at that moment, you always believed that I had the courage and strength to push forward. i never gave up on anything on my life, and that’s because you never gave up on me. you always lifted me back up from my lows, never abandoning me, always hearing my cries and screams, and always were proud when i was at my highest, and celebrated with me with cheer and laughter.

praise be to you, My Father.
