How to summon Hekate
Hecate is preferably summoned near crossroads, or where two roads meet, ideally in the wilderness. This is particularly beneficial when contacting the Goddess for the first time as it helps deepen the connection. However, as I already mentioned she can be summoned indoors as well and guard the house of all intruders psychic or physical.
The ideal time for summoning Hekate is when the moon is waning, particularly during the period on or after the third Quarter and during the Dark Moon/New Moon phase.
To summon her, I suggest to prepare an incense containing the following:
1 part lavender
1 part mullein
1/2 part yew
Optional additions:
3 cypress balls
Dried cyclamen flowers
One drop of your blood
While the incense is burning the following invocation is used to summon Hecate from the Orphic Hymns which I have translated in English:
Hekate of the roads I invoke, the one who is adored at the crossroads and where the three roads meet.
Celestial, Chtonian and Marine, you who wear the saffron coloured veil,
Sepulchral One, who celebrates in Bacchic Ecstasy with the souls of the Dead,
Daughter of Perses, Lover of solitude, who enjoys the company of deers.
Nocturnal one, Protectress of Dogs, Irresistible Queen,
the One who emits the sounds of beasts, ungirt One,
Herder of Bulls, Queen of all Worlds who holds all keys,
Guide, Nymphe, Nurturer of youth, Wanderer of mountains,
I ask thee Maiden to be present in my(our) sacred rites,
Favourable to the herder (or the leader/high priest(ess)/myself), filled with graciousness and with propitious mood.
