Hekate’s Open Pathway Spell
This spell is similar to a road opening spell, but uses different herbs than usual and is geared towards Hekate devotees. It calls upon Hekate as Goddess of the Crossroads, the Torch Bearer, and the Keeper of Keys. It is designed for Her to cleanse your pathways, show you the road to take to success, unlock opportunities, and guide you through life. This spell uses herbs and items sacred to Her in order to call upon Her aid.
Decorate your sacred space with keys and other symbols of Hekate. Dress three orange candles with a Hekate oil and arrange them in an inverted triangle. Dress the candles with a mixture of Sage, Lavender, Mayapple/American mandrake, Cinnamon, Frankincense, Dandelion Root, and Dragon’s Blood. These herbs are chosen to bring cleansing, success, and guidance to the witch and are also sacred to Hekate. I also highly recommend adding dirt from a crossroads to the mixture if you can get it, as it is not only traditional in these kinds of workings, but also sacred to Hekate. Sprinkle the mixture of herbs in a line from each candle to the point where the three lines intersect in between the candles. Place a key at this central intersection.
Make an offering to Hekate, this usually can consist of making a libation and an offering of incense. Either one on its own will do, so can candles, food, art, and gifts. Whatever you can afford is perfect. Then pray to Hekate and ask Her to aid you in your working.
Light the first candle and say:
“Hekate Enodia, Goddess of the Crossroads, I beseech thee. Open my roads and cleanse them of blockages, strife, and misfortune. She who guards the many ways, set me on the right path.”
Light the second candle and say:
“Hekate Dadophoros, Torch-Bearer, shine your ever-burning lights upon the path to prosperity. Lead me away from evil and misguided roads. She whose flames burn eternal, illuminate the road to victory.”
Light the final candle and say:
“Hekate Kleidoukhos, Keeper of the Keys, open up the doors to opportunity and victory. Grant me luck and good fortune and grant me the key to success. She who is found in every threshold, may no door be closed to me.”
Continue, saying:
“Hekate, Three-Formed Goddess of Witchcraft, hear my prayers. As I light these three flames, whose orange color is bright like the fire of your torches, lend your aid to me. Cleanse my pathways, show me the way, and unlock every opportunity. Goddess Hekate, Bright One, I beg of you, work my spell with all your divine magics.”
Let each candle burn all the way down and carry the key from the spell as a charm. Dispose of any wax or remnants of any kind at a crossroads. When things begin to improve, I recommend making another offering to Hekate to thank Her.
