(6,410 posts)on Reddit once upon a time and saved, I found it so beautiful. I offer it to you, a prayer as appropriate to these times. It's a far tread down the path I started on when I was in my late teens...
O the fiercest!
Magnanimous, all-transcending Lady of Terrifying Countenance
In this moment of divine inspiration, under the permeating glow of blessed Mousai
I call upon Your ancient name, the most ferocious one:
Hekate Brimo! Hekate Brimo! Brimo! Brimo! Fiery Brimo!
O roaring conqueror of the abyss, the most manifested one, ten-headed Daughter of Zeus Areios
Your legs are those of the wolf ready to strike down its prey
Yet Your prey is the stagnant force of Darkness itself
Even as You are in Your holy rage wise men never call You "the Beast"
For You are Apotropaios, the reasonable
And You are Kratais, ruthless but wise
And You are the ungirt Daughter of Perses, whom Hesiod profound honored himself
O ravaging Brimo, I prostrate before You
But in adoration of You and in reverence for You
Hekate Brimo, the burning, the most visible, the invisible, without belt
Hear me through the crackling of Your Holy Fires
With these offerings which I give to You release me from apathy, may it burn and smoulder like howling Klythios did
Release me from the infectious ignorance, unspool the serpentine thread of the cunning Moirai, O Arkyia
You are the source, the bridge, the wide outfall
You complete what is incomplete
You lay out the road for His wisdom, eternal and omnipotent
You are celestial and You are magmatic
You are the beginning, the end and the in-between
You alone rule all
IAO Hekate Brimo!
IAO, Perseia!
