We reblended our Hekate Incense at the autumnal Equinox, at the threshold of the darker half of the year. As the days begin to shorten, we descend into the Underworld. This is a fitting time to work with Hekate, the torch-bearing psychopomp, the omnipresent keeper of thresholds, and titan goddess of all occult forces.
Our reading for the newly blended incense was quite clear: Respect. Respect for Hekate, and respect for the power you are asking to wield when you approach her. Be still, and be silent, one of the great lessons of the Magician. Silence reminds us that not every mystery is meant to be spoken before it is manifest. You do not see the seed growing until it has ruptured the earth through which it grows. We, like the seed, must allow the Underworld to form a safe container where we may uncover the deepest riches, and be able to grow. Hekate, too, is a generous protector of those who approach her mysteries with reverence, teaching us how to endure the harsh, dark places. For it is often there, in the darkness, that her grace is sensed most deeply.
