Hecate of the Lampades

Materials: candles of any kind, matches or lighter

To invite Hecate and her Lampad Nymphs to show you light and guide your way through a dark time. Gather as many candles as you can safely light in your space. This can be done with only one candle if needed, but nine or more is preferred. Create sacred space in the manner you are accustomed; ground and center; seat yourself comfortably and surround yourself with the candles you’ve gathered on all sides. Focus on the darkness that you need to find a way out of; then, when you are ready, light one candle and say the following invocation request aloud: 

        “Hecate, Goddess of Dark, I invoke you

        Let your nymphs come forth to guide me through

        I seek a path I cannot now see

        The true way to proceed, reveal to me”

Light every other candle, one at a time, repeating the invocation request each time. When all your candles are lit, sit for a while and open your minds eye to listen for the answer to your request. See yourself enveloped in the light that surrounds you, feel the heat and light of the candles. Wait for the path to be revealed. When you are finished, respectfully thank Hecate and the Lampades for their guidance, extinguish candles, and ground and center.
