We preformed our Mabon ritual as the Fall Equinox began. As we opened the quarters, the energy in the room rose quickly. After praising and talking the deities. we shed what we no longer needed into the womb of the Goddess; the sacred cauldron. Soon after, Hekate's Lady felt her body stiffen and images started to flood her vision.
She could see hidden temples, left untouched by time, but still in use. People still went in private to leave offerings and pray for help. Some were simple, others built up over decades or centuries. Then she saw them burnt to the ground. All the statues were broken, the altars were smoking, and the offerings lay burnt into the ground. The people who love the temples were on their knees crying and others were cursing such a fate.
The deities were crying and angry - no faces could be seen but the divine anger and sadness was overwhelming. Seeing them in an outline, the pain in their hearts drove Hekate's Lady to tears. To know how they suffer from such hatred is something that is sickening and sad.
Next came these words:
"Mortals have forgotten that the seasons are a true reflection of the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. People have forgotten what the Gods have done to make this possible. These cycles existed before mankind was created.
If you are called to help, step forward. If your words can help, speak them without fear. If you are enraged, take action. Do not squander the time you are given. You were meant to share your divine gifts in the life, whatever they may be.
But above all, stop the hatred, the rotten anger, the hateful words. Anger blocks progress, moving forward, and success. Hatred burns, scars, and lays low the holder.
Without love, life is nothing but pain. Love is what propels humanity forward. Without love, the poison of hate overtakes the soul."
Afterwards, Hekate's Lady had to regain her senses and cried for a few minutes. We then drew cards in an ancestral spread to figure out how to move forward into the new season. We ended our ceremony with love and thanks to all the Gods and Goddesses that we have leaned on in hard times and the prayers they have answered.
~ Blessed Be ~
