I call to you, kind Hekate, watchful daughter
of far-seeing Asteria, torch-bearing goddess,
night-wanderer, pale and fair as the moonflower.
Hekate of the three ways, goddess of the crossroad,
keen-eyed one, you see clearly what others overlook.
Hekate of the three realms, goddess who holds
a stake in all the worlds, all within are yours to stir.
Gentle of touch and firm of hand, Hekate,
leader of the ghostly train, the barking of dogs
marks your passage, the shining of stars lights your path.
Hekate who is the companion of those who walk
the bounds of light and dark, I praise and honor you.

Cherished Alchemists,
Samhain approaches and we are nearing the end of the Harvest Season. Now is the time to connect with our Beloved Dead, our Benevolent Ancestors of blood, of choice, and of land.
The veil Between the Worlds of the living and the dead is reaching the point where it is at the most thin and transparent, and the doorway opens. Now come our Ancestors to visit us, to offer us their cosmic wisdom and assistance for our earthly life. Let us light the way for our Ancestors to join us; let us set out their favorite items, pour a chalice of their favorite libation, offer them their favorite foods.
Those Who Came Before are our friends and our family—they are the Beloved Dead. Death is a natural part of life. Death is growth and change and transformation; it is one of Goddess’s gifts to us. Let us welcome our Ancestors into our hearts and into our homes; let us thank them for our lives, our families, and our privileges.
Dear Ones, I invite you to join me in the Astral Temple throughout this Samhain Season as we honor our Ancestors of Blood, Choice, and Land. Under the guidance of Hekate—the Most-Lovely Lady of the Underworld—and united together in sacred space, we will contemplate those Ancestors whose energies we carry in this lifetime, and perform a spell that honors them and ourselves.
Join our community in sacred circle—a space beyond space and a time beyond time—and combine your love and energy with that of your sacred kindred from around the world. At your own altar—and at a time that works for *your* life—add your magickal intentions to ours in our Astral Temple.
This Distance Ritual was created to support you in connecting with your Beloved Dead, and in assisting you in acknowledging the unique gifts that you carry in this here and now.
To support the health and longevity of our Temple and our community’s Priestesses, please make an income-based sliding scale Tribute/Contribution of $35-$25.
Please use the “register” button above. In the optional “Write a note” field, please let us know the specific Distance Ritual you are requesting and be sure to include your email address.
Once your Tribute is received, I will connect with you via email and share a pdf ritual script for your solitary or family practice.
This Samhain Season Distance Ritual is available to you until Astrological Samhain, November 7th.
Our next ritual—Lakshmi’s Rite of Prosperity & Gratitude—will be released on November 8th. Please check back here then for details.
You can learn more about me and our Sisterhood of the Moon Tradition of Witchcraft here.
Thank you so much for your continuing love and support, Dear Ones. It is one of my greatest delights to circle in the Ethers with you!
