Great Hekate, who spins the web of the stars

And governs the spiral of life.

Goddess of the Road, Keeper of the Keys.

Guardian of Children and the Marginalized,

Night Queen, Daughter of Perseus,

She Who Guards The Gate.
Leader, Shining One, Three-Formed Goddess.
Liberator, Liberator, Liberator.
