Mighty Mother Hecate

Hecate, Mighty Hecate,
come dance with us tonight.
The moon has waxed,
the moon has waned,
and now the moon is ripe.

Hecate, Mother Hecate,
your children call you here.
Gather your torch,
and follow our song,
please bring your presence near.

Mighty Mother Hecate,
will you listen well?
it is for you we sing this song
and why 'tis here we dwell.

Author notes

By your AP name I'm guessing you know who Hecate is; that's why your contest caught my attention. I hope you find it a decent tribute to the Goddess.

    ??????????????

    Who is Mighty Mother Hecate? Is she the old Hag who woke me up one night with her kness on my chest, trying to hate me to death? Did I ever do some fast praying? Is she Demeter, the Goddess of the Earth? I love her. Is she" Lilith", the bride of Lucifer? How your mysterious poem piques my curiosity? Best Wishes to you Fae rae. I am just a potaster, but I try!

    Very nice flow. Reads nicely. I don't like thje second verse as much as the other two, but I think that's only because I don't like 'here' and 'near' to rhyme with each other - a bit over used. It fits nicely, though, so there's no good reason not to ignore me

      Thanks for reading. The second stanza just came out that way, but I hear what you are saying. This was more a tribute than anything, so I think I'm going to let it stand. Thank you so much for your honest critique.

    This is so soothing lass...
    almost tangible ...
    like a pill...
    you can take it in
    and the calm from your words resonates again and again.
    This truly is beautiful work...
    you should be proud of this...
    had a mystical feel also
    of oneness with mirth and glad tidings.
    Love it .

    Blessings,
    Lowell Poe.

    As a bit of a pagan myself I love this.

    Spiritual, calming and serene. These are my first impressions of your lovely poem. It made me feel safe, secure and unconditionally loved. You can only truly feel this way when you are in the womb. Of the Goddess maybe? I could not tell you to change it as I am no great authority on poetry, I just know that I do like this. Good luck in the competition. Regards, Jimmy (fatalfraud).

    A very well written pagan prayer harking beack to the days of the Greeks, I think.
