I will meet you at the place
Where three roads meet.
The sacred space where
Spells can be cast under
* The light of the glittering moon.<\/p>

There will be dancing
Because who would stop us?
We honour Hecate, who shares
In the rule of land, sea and sky.<\/p>

Goddess of witches,
She waits for us at the place
Where three roads meet.<\/p>

It is here \u2013 amid the dancing \u2013
That Hecate reveals her secrets
But only to those who deserve
To know how to heal, to halt
And to kill.<\/p>

A dog attends her, as she waits.
It used to be a woman, one who
Lost everything \u2013 every son, every
Daughter, her home, her city, her man.<\/p>

So she took her revenge
On the one man she could:
Polymestor, who killed her youngest boy.
She took his sons with knives
Then blinded him.<\/p>

He cried out in pain and she
Cried back her anger.
Then Hecate took her, changed her
speaking to a bark.<\/p>

And now she guards the place **
Where three roads meet.
She did the unthinkable
In revenge for the unforgivable.<\/p>

But Hecate marks our boundary ***
Between night and morning,
Between life and death,
Between the underworld
And the world above.<\/p>

She gives us all the magic we will ever need. ****
Enough to halt the moon in its tracks,
Enough to turn the rivers back.
Enough to bring down a giant.<\/p>

We come to her sacred space
With offerings and humility,
And in exchange, Hecate makes us hers.<\/p>
