Rite of Her Sacred Fires – Ritual Text

This rite was written as an act of gratitude and thanks to the Goddess Hekate for her inspiration, help and guidance through the compilation of this project.

This rite was originally intended for use on the Full Moon, Thursday 27th of May 2010 by all those who wish to honour the Goddess Hekate and dedicate themselves towards a greater understanding of Her Mysteries, this date coincides with the release of this book. In 2010 around 2500-3000 people all around the world joined to perform this ritual, and in 2011 that number has grown to around 4000 people.  The ritual now also forms part of the Rite of the Devotee of the Covenant of Hekate.  The Rite continues to be celebrated each year at the FULL MOON in May, as a devotional act symbolising unity between all those who celebrate the mysteries of the Goddess Hekate today.

The ceremony can be performed by itself, or as part of a longer ceremony, with or without a “formal” ritual space – that is up to individual choice.  It is preferable (though not obligatory) that the wording and actions of the ceremony as presented below should be kept the same and remain unaltered, though if for spiritual, magical or personal reasons you need or wish to change some of it, you are hereby given permission to do so with the proviso that you do not alter in any way the purpose of the ceremony.

In this section you will find the original Rite of Her Sacred Fires (in English) as well as numerous translations which were done by individuals who volunteered their skills and time towards making this rite available to people who would not otherwise have been able to join in due to linguistic barriers.  Thank you to each and everyone of you!  If there is a language not yet represented here which you are able to provide a translation for, please email admin@hekatecovenant.com – we would love to be able to offer it in as many languages as possible!
