The Act of Seeking

[Sirius]

The Act of Seeking: Part 3 of 4

Invocation.



As she is the guide, the invocation starts with her.

Welcome Hecate as the keeper of mysteries, the guide, and the guardian of the threshold into the circle.  Light the central candle and place a symbol associated with her such as keys or a crescent moon. Repeat with the other two black candles representing ancestors and personal intentions.

Prepare your totem, place it on the altar.  Prepare yourself, you will be commanding the elements in her name to empower or reveal the guide.  If your not doing divination, the guide will appear in due time.

Calling the Elements



Move clockwise around the circle, address each direction lighting the candle. Adapt the chant based on your intentions and weather or not your are divining. e.g.  you may swap out "reveal" for "empower".

Air (East):
Hold the feather or light the incense. Say:
"In the name of Hecate, Keeper of Mysteries,
I call upon the East, the power of Air.
Bring wisdom and clarity as the breath of her will.
Join this circle, to reveal the totem’s message."

Fire (South):
Light the candle (if not already lit) or focus on its flame. Say:
"In the name of Hecate, Guardian of Transformation,
I summon the South, the power of Fire.
Ignite our passion as we follow her light.
Join this circle, to reveal the totem’s message."

Water (West):
Touch the water in the chalice or bowl, and raise it slightly. Say:
"In the name of Hecate, Lady of Intuition,
I invoke the West, the power of Water.
Let her wisdom flow into our spirits.
Join this circle, to reveal the totem’s message."

Earth (North):
Hold or touch the soil, crystals, or plant. Say:
"In the name of Hecate, Guardian of the Threshold,
I call upon the North, the power of Earth.
Root us deeply in her wisdom and strength.
Join this circle, to reveal the totem’s message."
