Hey there,
My name is Lisa and welcome to your keys and crossroads meditation for connecting and meeting with the energy of the goddess Hecate.
Hecate in ancient Greek literature was always known before even Zeus.
Zeus bowed down to Hecate and he knew her before his defeating of Kronos and becoming king of the gods.
She appeared in ancient texts as a powerful,
Liminal figure,
One who moves freely between worlds.
And over time she became known as the goddess of thresholds,
The crossroads,
The doorways,
The moments of transition between what was and what is becoming.
And as culture evolved,
Hecate was called upon in folk magic,
Mysticism,
And witchcraft not as a dark force,
But as a guardian of wisdom,
Protection,
And choice.
You may be at a threshold yourself,
Standing at a turning point,
A moment of decision,
Or a season where the old has evolved into the new,
Or things may no longer fit,
And yet the new has not fully formed yet.
Connecting with Hecate's energy can help you feel grounded during uncertainty,
Supported in discernment,
And empowered to cross your own thresholds with clarity rather than fear.
So with that,
I invite you to come on into your comfortable position,
Whether that be seated or lying on down,
And I invite you to take a nice,
Big,
Deep inhale into your body,
And exhale sighing out,
Letting go,
And last time inhaling,
Allowing yourself to release what does not serve you,
Any holding,
Any tension,
Softening into being held in the present moment,
Letting the rest of the world,
Life itself,
Just disappear as you remain here,
In this sacred space,
And I am sending you a white light of protection so that you are fully protected as you dive on in to this energy,
Knowing you are safe and you can pause the meditation at any point,
And as this white light surrounds you,
I invite you to visualize a gateway,
The gate does not have to make sense,
Whatever appears within your mind's eye,
That is your gateway,
Taking in any,
Or symbols that you may notice,
Breathing it in,
To gently step through the doorway into a beautiful,
Safe space and world,
This world is filled with nature,
With magic,
And in this space is where you see the goddess,
She appears to you with a knowing smile on her face,
And she invites you to sit with her,
As you take in the whole realm of this world around you,
And I invite you to share with the goddess anything that is weighing on your mind,
Anything you need guidance on,
Anything at all,
And she offers you her wisdom,
Breathing into her wisdom,
Letting the rest go on exhale,
And from this space,
I hand you a key,
And invite her to whisper some last wisdom with this gift,
And exhaling out,
Knowing you can come back to this space whenever you need to,
And saying your goodbye,
Through the gateway with this key,
Knowing that her energy will be with you even as you pass through the gates,
And repeat these affirmations to yourself as you pass through,
I am exactly where I need to be,
Passing through the gates,
Returning back to this gentle space around you,
Feeling your breath,
And closing this practice with an offering to this ancient divine source,
This intention is meant to be an offering to the goddess,
But also something that allows you to ground into this moment of becoming,
There is no intention that is too small,
All intentions matter,
Offer your intention,
If you are feeling sleepy,
You can drift off into sleep,
Or you can begin to gently invite awareness and gentle movement back into your body by wiggling fingers,
Toes,
Stretching into this space,
Allowing this experience and this magic to pour into your present moment,
And taking a moment to thank yourself for all that you do,
For all that you are,
And with that my friends,
I thank you again for joining me on this journey,
May the goddess's energy always be with you,
And so it is,
So it is,
Take care my friend,
Until next time,
And namaste.
