Greek mythology : Hecate - Goddess of magic, new moon, crossroads, necromancy & ghosts

[alsostheon]

Orphic Hymn to Hekate

Hekate of the Roads, lovely dame,

Of Earthly, watery, and celestial frame,

Sepulchral in saffron veil arrayed

Pleased with dark ghosts

Who wander through the shade

Persian huntress, world’s key bearer we hail

On the rough rock to wander thee delights

Leader and nurse, be present to our rites

Propitious grant our just desires success

Accept our homage and the incense bless

Guide our fortunes, gift us with your grace

Daughter of Perses, mistress of silence

Goddess of moon and clairvoyance

Wanderer of the wilds, ever leading

Dogs and deer, and tides receding

Please hear our prayers, help us to be wise

November 16th - Hekate’s Night

Hekate’s ancient devotees held dinners in her honor known as Hekate Suppers.

On Hekate’s Night, food offerings consisting of any of the following that Hekate (and her dogs) love are served:

wine

honey

crescent-shaped bread and pastries

eggs

garlic

fish

mushrooms

These offerings of food are both consumed by those celebrating and left out by the front door (the “crossroad” between indoors and outdoors, between one’s private space and public spaces) or at a crossroad, on a (perishable) plate or flat stone, as an offering to Hekate as she roamed the Earth by night with her sacred dogs, and to invite her blessings for those who dwell inside.

Warnings: violence, killing/ death, spears, fighting, let me know if I missed any :)

Parings: Marc Spector x reader platonic

Request: Greek Demigod on a quest to help Marc and Steven deal with Harrow; 1. Reader meets Marc/Steven as Moon Knight/Mr.Knight when they’re attacked by a monster (lets say a manticore). I’m thinking that even though they’re an avatar, they can’t see the monster cause of the Mist, and try to help the reader thinking they’re being attacked by some random robber or something like that. But the reader (being a child of Hecate) can control the Mist at their whim, so they reveal the monster to Marc/Steven and they defeat the monster together. They acquaint themselves with one another, and this can ultimately lead to other oneshots/ideas connecting to this one where the reader and Marc/Steven learn about their respective worlds and gods/goddesses

Summary: Egypt isn’t the only place that have gods and goddesses that still roam the earth

A/N: I finally got around to getting this out 😅

Please don’t plagiarize my work, you may reblog if you like but I’m asking that you don’t steal my hard work

“Great. Just great.” You muttered to yourself, ducking as a dumpster was thrown at your head, narrowly missing you, “This is just what I needed today. It just tops off the perfect day I’ve been having.”

You didn’t care that you probably looked crazy to onlooking mortals, talking to yourself and randomly dodging objects that didn’t appear to be there. But they could judge you all they wanted, cause you had a hard day, and you didn’t necessarily want to die.

As the monster let out a terrible roar, you just rolled your eyes, “Yeah, yeah. Whatever.”

The manticore sprung forward from its hind legs, claws outstretched and eyes ablaze with rage.

What the creature didn’t know, was that you weren’t standing there at all, you were actually on the other side of it, trying to figure out how you could kill the thing.

But you had used a simple spell to make it appear as if you were standing where the manticore could see you, it was simply an illusion, though, so as soon as it touched the fake you, it would disappear.

Which is exactly what happened, and the manticore let out a scream of rage, whirling around and narrowing it’s horrible eyes at the sight of you.

Turning your own eyes upwards towards the sky, you let out a silent prayer to your mother, Hecate, asking for strength, after the tiring day, to do what you had to.

Then, without warning, you dove to the side, sending the beast head first into the brick wall behind you.

The earth began shaking at the collision, and you had to spread your arms out to keep from falling flat on your face.

Just as it’s head whipped around back in your direction, a voice from above made both of you halt.

“What the-“

Your heads snapped up so fast that one would have been surprised that neither one of you had gotten whiplash.

There, standing under the brightness of the moon and the stars, was London's very own vigilante, Moon Knight himself.

His head was angled down at you, and you could only wonder what he was seeing through the mist. And by the defensive posture he had, it was nothing good. That much was for sure.

The manticore seemed to quickly lose interest in the white cladded man, and turned its attention back to you, letting out a sharp puff of air before once again charging at you with full speed.

In a half-a-second decision, you waved your hand and the mist disappeared from the eyes of the rising superhero.

Normally, you would never use your magic for something like that. Doing it to mortals could have devastating effects. But it’s not like you had been living under a rock. You had seen the news. You knew that Moon Knight was one of the good guys and that you could trust him.

For a whole second he just stood there, back straightening as he took in the whole new world that he saw. But then he sprung into action with as little warning as you had given moments before.

With his legs outstretched, he lept off of the nearby building's roof and hit the creature dead center with his deadly looking boots.

Its head flew to the side as it let out another earth shattering roar, and it stumbled a bit, giving you all the time you needed to place your palms together quickly and squeeze your eyes shut.

When they snapped back open, they were glowing an eerie purple and about forty long spears appeared in midair surrounding you.

Without wasting another second, you thrust your hands out in front of you and the weapons were thrown at an impossible speed towards the beast, lodging themselves into his side and every other piece of flesh they could find.

Not another sound came out of it as it’s eyes immediately rolled into the back of its head and it fell to the ground with a loud ‘thump’.

Your arms dropped back to your side and you felt your magic slowly seep out of your body, taking your purple irises with them and returning back to their normal color.

Moon Knight was standing a few yards away from you, staring at the dead manticore without the slightest movement in his body.

“What… was that.” He finally spoke, his voice gruffer then you would have expected.

“That was a manticore.” You said casually, sliding your hands into your pocket as you leaned against the wall.

Finally, he looked to your direction and you could almost feel him blink a couple times before he said, “Like from Greek mythology?”

You let out something between a laugh and a scoff, “Believe me, it’s about as mythical as that Khonshu of yours is.”

“There’s… there’s other gods?” Realization dawned on him faster than you would have expected.

You nodded your head.

“And you’re, what? An avatar?”

A full blown laugh escaped you this time, causing you to put your arms around your stomach as you doubled over slightly, “Nah, avatars are your thing.” You snickered slightly, “I’m a demigod, daughter of Hecate to be precise.”

“Daughter of a goddess?” The confusion only increased in his tone.

You let out another laugh, throwing your head back and walking over to the man, patting him on the shoulder before striding away.

“There’s a lot we should talk about.” You called over your shoulder, continuing down the street.

There was a second of silence- of hesitation- but then the sound of footsteps following after you reached your ears and you smiled slightly.

This is my own personal incantation that I wrote specifically for Hecate, and I decided to share it. Hecate is the only goddess I’ve ever worked with and to be honest, she’s the only goddess I need. She filled a spiritual void for me that I’d been trying to fill for a long time. Now I feel complete.

I call Hecate of the Crossroads, worshipped at the meeting of three paths, oh lovely one. In the sky, earth, and sea, you are venerated in your saffron-colored robes. ~Orphic Hymn to Hecate

Hekate’s Deipnon

February 2024

Khaire Temple Guests, thank you for visiting us today!

Tonight is Hekate's Deipnon, and in honor of this we wanted to share some information about this Holy Day. Additionally, a post explaining how to submit and leave digital and e-offerings can be found here.

What is Hekate's Deipnon?

"... at its most basic, [Hekate's Deipnon is] a religious offering meal given to the Titan Hekate and the restless dead once a lunar month. Ancient Athenians held that once a lunar month, Hekate led the spirits... from the underworld up from Hades. It is also the last day of the month according to the lunisolar based Attic calendar used in ancient Athens. Where the time of the dark moon was seen as the in-between liminal time between months." - Wikipedia

Hekate's Deipnon takes place the day before Noumenia, on the night of what is referred to modern astrology as the 'New Moon'.

This Holy Day is regarded as a time for purification and cleaning before the start of the new lunar month, as well as a time to honor the dead and the underworld. Purification of the self and the home, as well as settling personal affairs from the previous month are all traditional; and considered to be auspicious activities to partake in on this night.

Why Hekate?

"Hekate (Hecate) was the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy." - Theoi.com

Depending on your sources, Hekate's name may come from the Greek hekatos meaning "worker from afar" - or it may come from the Greek ekate phosphoros meaning "bringer/giver of light”. In either case, Hekate is closely aligned with the veil between the overworld and the underworld - and is an incredibly liminal goddess. Her domains include magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy (source: Theoi.com).

With all of this in mind, it becomes clear as to why Hekate would be associated with the night before Noumenia, when the veil is thin and darkness is abound.

How to Celebrate Hekate's Deipnon?

As mentioned before, Hekate's Deipnon is a time for purification, cleansing, and honoring in the dead. If you are physically able, Hekate's Deipnon is a great time to cleanse either your home - or your ritual spaces. This is also a great time to, if you are physically able, take care of your body (i.e., showering, having a wash day for your hair, trimming finger and toe nails, etc.).

Outside of cleansing, it is traditional to place an offering of food on your altar/shrine during the day. Then, at night, you should place this food outside at a three way crossroad. This could be a literal crossroad on a path or road, or a liminal crossroad where water, air, and earth meet. Two examples of the later are 1: A rock or raised earth in a river or stream or 2: A bridge that crosses over some kind of body of water.

Traditional food offerings include:

Eggs (Raw or Hard Boiled)

Leeks / Onions

Garlic (Whole, Cloves, or Powder)

Incense

(source: hellion.org)

Some practitioners will alternatively or additionally set aside a plate during their evening meal with a portion of the food served. These offerings should also be placed at a crossroads.

Lastly, it is important to make sure that any promises, promised offerings, or oaths that you have made during the prior month are fulfilled before dawn. This will allow you to enter Noumenia with a clean slate.

We hope you have found this post informative and helpful, please feel free to direct any questions or inquiries to our AskBox and we will endeavor to answer all queries in a timely manner.

Eirene, peace and farewell.
