The 66 Adorations of Hekate
After reading this post by Sannion I was highly inspired and moved to create something similar. Dionysos is very important to me but I didn’t want to rush in and make a ‘duplicate’ of adorations for Him (though I will work on my own set). So instead I chose to focus on Hekate.
Today I was kept awake by howling winds and a desire to be ‘awake’ and so I got dressed and came downstairs and decided to start thinking on my adorations.
Rather than give myself a set amount to write, I just started writing. I found it very empowering to meditate on Hekate and my life with Her and all that She means to me and oversees.
By the time the sun rose, I had three pages of adorations which when I counted added up to 66. I didn’t feel like I needed to write any more (at present) and didn’t want to force it either. Fairly ironic the number, especially the relation to 3s and multiples thereof which all link nicely to Hekate.
I aim to use this in conjunction with making more of my spiritual life in 2012 (one of the main focuses for the year ahead, of which I have yet to blog about) and so I give you The 66 Adorations of Hekate…

Beautiful. Adding to all the devotions, invocations and prayers I have collected and written for Hekate.

I hope you find them of use in your practice.

Interesting idea. You did a fantastic job with these.
Hmmmm I may have to do something similar in adorations for Apollon…I am quite certain I can come up with enough.
January 7, 2012 at 12:16 pm
It’s a wonderful idea and I hope to do it for other deities myself; I’ve read your Adorations for Apollon and they’re beautifully written!

Muchas gracias por tu trabajo. Una de las cosas que más me han gustado es el “ritmo” que tiene, reiterativo, induciendo al trance mientras elogias a Hekate.
Me ha encantado y con tu permiso, lo incorporaré en mi próximo trabajo con Ella, pues estoy segura de su entonación hace fluir la energía…
Muchas gracias desde España.

Muchas Gracias por sus palabras amables. Por favor no dude en usar las Adoraciones en su lealtad y funcionamiento(trabajo) con Hekate.
