Hekate Enalía

Hail, Hekate Enalía, Queen of the Deep,
Ruler of surging tides and of playful waves rushing across the sand,
Of soft rains and roaring storms, of ancient wells and bubbling springs,
Of morning dew, of mists and fog, and the frozen embrace of ice and snow–
You who rule all waters coursing through the veins of the world, nurturing and transforming.

Hekate Enalía, Mistress of the Sea, I thirst for a vision of you.
You who command torrents and stillness alike,
You who teach us to navigate the untamed waters of existence.
Enalía, Ulu, and Eilat, your names resound through the ages,
Calling souls who remember our beginnings in the primeval sea.
I stand before you as a devotee of this place, this magical world.
Embrace me in your boundless presence and sing to me the mysteries of your realm!

As Queen of the Sea, you hold the keys to its secrets.
As Empress of the Watery Realms above the Earth, you pour your gifts.
Grant me understanding of your heights and depths.
Open the gates to your watery realms,
Cleanse me in your waters, whisper to me your healing melodies.
And as you bind and bend the currents of existence, favor me!

Behold! Your form rises, a mighty torrent in the sky’s soft glow!
Towering above me like a great tsunami,
Adorned with seaweed, cloaked in frothy sea-foam and iridescent shells,
Your majestic presence commands my reverence.
Sea serpents encircle your arms,
And your garments, as dark as the depths of your realm, billow around you.

Melodies flow from flutes and horns of white shell that you hold.
Enalía, Ulu, and Eilat, your names resound through the ages,
Your stories yet untold echo through the eons– let me be your songstress!

Hekate Enalía, Source of Life, who teaches water’s ancient refrain,
Embrace me in your boundless wisdom and empower me with your stormy grace.
O Queen of the Ocean's Depths, guide my journey through life's ever-changing waters.
Guide me to find wholeness amidst life's storms.

This morning I had a wonderful ritual in the Gulf
with Enalía and the Seirínes!

Winged Ladies of the Sea,
Thank you for showing ocean's mystery.
In sand and foam, and crystal tone,
Your magic in my heart is sown. Io Heka Ulu Ho!

Someone must take charge of my Hebrew studies! It certainly isn't going to be me.

Fierce goddesses, Evry-áli, Sthenó, and Méðusa,
As I growl your mantra, Io Heka Gorgo Apotropai,
Prepare me for this evening’s class.
Keep my eyes focused on learning Hebrew!
Keep my mind sharp as your boars’ fangs!
Keep my determination to learn Hebrew hard as steel!
Make all distractions as still as stone!
By the word of Hekate, my goals are yours!
