Zeus is the God of Storms, and the king of Olympus, so in my mind he should be honored next. To do his meditation, I decided that replicating the sound of a thunderstorm to do the trance would be most appropriate, but since it is the middle of winter and I can not anticipate a thunderstorm any time in the near future I once again turned to drumming, this time using a recording of a drum circle and broadcast it it through my speakers so I could feel the rumble in my core. I focused on the sounds and my breathing, and soon I could smell the rain and feel it on my skin. Thunder has never frightened me and even as an adult I find myself playing in the rain. This working didn’t invoke strong visions, but by the end of the working I felt refreshed and renewed, as I always do after I’ve danced in the spring rain.
“Mighty Zeus, god of thunder, and leader of the Olympians, You who battled the Titans and fathered so many heroes. With your name, I work to become a leader in the community. Come forth and dwell in this space. (Offer mead) “Zeus, patron of hospitality transforming god of many forms, You who are the keeper of oaths and father of Athena, my guide and patron With your name, I work to keep my oaths. Come forth and dwell in this place.” (Offer mead) “Through you, may I learn to transform myself. and through you, may I learn to lead others toward their own. Through you, may I find comfort in my own abilities And with you may I learn to adapt to new situations as needed. Zeus, mighty god, Come forth and encounter this rite.”

This week, my ritual is being done in honor of Hecate. Hecate is a goddess that is often misunderstood by people, and she is often viewed as a “dark” goddess. However, my experience with her was anything but. She is a goddess of crossroads, and a guide along the path of the unknown. To me, she seemed like the appropriate deity to work with as we transitioned from 2014 to 2015. My omens seem to indicate that the path I am on can be a positive one with hard work, but that the timing is important, as is taking responsibility for my actions. It is an omen of hard work, but positive outcome if I’m willing to put that effort into it.
“Hecate, goddess of the crossroads, and patron of magicians, You who light the pathways in the darkest nights With your name, I continue down this path. Come forth and dwell in this space. (Offer mead) “Hecate, great goddess of new beginnings, shining your lantern on the path for those who are lost, You who help the ancestors find their way, and carry the knowledge of sorcery and magic with you. With your name, I seek to choose the right fork of the crossroads. Come forth and dwell in this place.” (Offer mead) “Through you, may I learn to see my own path. and through you, may I learn to help guide others toward their own. Through you, may I find comfort in magic And with you may I find light in the darkness. Hecate, magnificent goddess, Come forth and encounter this rite.” Greek Alphabet Oracle -- Delta -- Timing is everything Mu -- Hard work will result in a good return. Phi -- Take responsibility for your actions |
