Queen in Heaven, Titanian, Cosmic Soul,
Of Gods and Worlds, Light and All,
Of Man and Beast, and boundless Awe!
By the goddess I worship most of all
Who knows my secret desires untold,
Fates under Your Will, grant or withhold,
Seven times I call Brimo, Brimo, Brimo,
Brimo, Brimo, Brimo, Brimo!
By the light of the shining moon,
Open my dreams and allow them to bloom.
Fishes and leek to appease the soul
While wine and honey fill the bowl.
Garlic bulbs around my feet,
All laid on the ground where the three roads meet.
Open the gate, and show the way,
Raise our voices…
Hecate, Hecate, Hecate.
Offerings delivered, her presence revealed.
Walk the path of the magical seal.
Return the lost to me and protect what is mine.
Allow this moon to serve as a sign.
Welcome the blessings and honor her way.
Chanting under the moon Hecate, Hecate, Hecate.
In shade of Triple Goddess and Cypress gloom I stand,
Midnight offerings to the Maiden, by dark’s divine hand.
To the Stygian stream I spill eloquent prayer,
O Hekate, Mother Sovereign, come to devotees who dare!
Lead the pious to blessed Elysium beyond Lethe
And with Erinyes burn yew, Guide Persephone!
By secret rites of Nyktipolis, I swore,
Night-wandering daughter Asteria bore!
By solemn rites of Trivia!
Hear my words through great Abyss,
By pure rites of Triformis!
Thrice I spin and splash and cry,
Breaking the stillness of the night.
Inescapable peaks unleash the insane,
Ecstatic and step frenzied before flame.
The Wild is calmed by the calling of your name
And peace is rattled just the same,
Rites unseen by profane eyes,
Only sounds of wailing cries.
I beat the ground, Head back, Neck bent
With arms to starry Heaven Outstretched
As Medea as a Maenad, Bare face, foot and breast!
Nocturnal Khthonie, Night-Crier, Frightful Mother,
Beheld in sleep, I surrender to your revelry!
To the fearsome face of the gorgon, mania of Mene
the furious Bacchante,
Prophetic Pheobi, O Raving Hekate!
I disorb the moon with commanding words
To work my Witchcraft undisturbed.
Summoned by my sacred rite,
Now, Nykteria’s Glory of Night!
Drawn down with triple Thessalian threat,
Inspire and spread madness through the air.
Change dark and ill omen, Take fear from our mind
and release them here for Nyx to find!
Thrice the deep earth gave her groan, stone and forest quake.
Mystic torches light the sky, My restless soul you shake.
Underworld hounds call you near,
As haunting Nymphai cry out in fear!
Scales of serpents bind your brow,
The roar of Cerberus from your mouth.
Howling dread from the gates of Hades,
All Nature shudders to our song,
Raise ghostly shades to earthly air,
Rejoice the silent throng!
