SPIRIT HOLLOW: LAND SACRED TO HEKATE

As you may know, for the past three weeks we have been raising funds to pay the down payment on Spirit Hollow, land sacred to the Goddess Hekate.

The land comprises more than two acres of wild high desert adjacent to Ardantane's main campus.

Today, with only one week to go, we have raised $2271 of the $7428 we need. We'll need $5157 more to meet the goal.

Can you help? We'll send you a great gift related to Hekate. We have gorgeous artwork for your altar, an embroidered emblem of Her symbol, beautiful offering bowls, antique keys of various sizes (She is the Keybearer), modern coins with Her image, and ancient coins from Thrace where She was worshipped, and more. Please check it out.

The web page is located at the Indiegogo crowd funding site. Here's where to find it: igg.me/at/hekate

Thank you for your help, and we hope to welcome you one day to Her land in America.

Libation to Hermes

We're having our Libation to Hermes this evening.

Homeric Hymn to Hermes

I sing of Cyllenian Hermes, the Slayer of Argus, lord of Cyllene and Arcadia rich in flocks, luck-bringing messenger of the deathless gods.  He was born of Maia, the daughter of Atlas, when she had made with Zeus, -- a shy goddess she.  Ever she avoided the throng of the blessed gods and lived in a shadowy cave, and there the Son of Cronos used to lie with the rich-tressed nymph at dead of night, while white-armed Hera lay bound in sweet sleep: and neither deathless god nor mortal man knew it.
And so hail to you, Son of Zeus and Maia; with you I have begun: now I will turn to another song!
Hail, Hermes, giver of grace, guide, and giver of good things!
