The following petition was created by several members of the Sanctuary over on Facebook. It is shared openly for the world to use in an effort to lessen the impact of the virus across the globe. Feel free to share it, but please credit back to the Sanctuary of Hekate Polymorphos and its members for it's creation. Thank you!
Lady Hekate, we beseech you,
If it be Your Will and for the good of all
That in these dark times of sickness, suffering and fear
We ask that you, Hekate Borborophorba, Eater of Filth,
Devour this illness that surrounds us and take it into the abyss.
Hekate, Lady of the Crossroads,
Help the children of the earth
To understand and heed the lessons of this virus quickly,
So that the lesson of this scourge does not linger.
We ask this for the healing of mankind!
She who works from afar, Apotropaios, averter of misfortune
Deflect the poison-tipped arrows of plague-sending Apollon
May they miss their mark and fall useless upon the earth.
Nurturing Mother of All, Appease Him on our behalf
Nourish and sustain us, keeping us safe and sane.
Paiônios, heal our world!
Touch the afflicted with Your healing hands
Giving strength to those that care for them.
Remove all obstacles in the path of our healers
Who bravely and selflessly stand on the frontlines,
Keep them safe and strong in these times of uncertain crisis.
Sôteira, great redeemer and Cosmic World Soul
Deliver us from this illness that plagues Your people.
Help to purge and purify its devastating effects,
So that there be lasting change in the world
Towards compassion and community.
Psychopompos – soul giver, soul taker, soul receiver –
You who walks between the worlds.
Guide those who have passed on, to rest and renewal.
Attend and support those who remain,
Leading their souls through necessary grief.
In these times of isolation, oh Bright Lady,
Let Your radiance be a beacon in the world!
May it shine through the darkness!
May it burn away all blight and pestilence!
May it comfort those who weep!
May it guide those who have crossed!
May it enlighten the minds of humanity!
Hekate, aid us in our time of great need!
