Praying to Lord Hermes

Time and time, countless nines- have I been stopped. For truth is what they despise. For sugar coated lies seem to appease them.

And many a times have I felt thorny ivies wrap around my throat like a shrewd serpent, shedding it's hide- compelling the truth out in rage and anguish.

Rarely have I backed off from giving them the truth. Scarcely has my voice been daunted. Untamable. Unfathomable. Like the mind, so the mouth.

And hence, I pray to my Lord. I seek His blessed light for an indomitable spirit. I ask him for as much mirth as boldness, as much skills as shrewdness.

May I never cower away in fear. My prayer is so my Lord- ever so kindly pay an ear.

Melodies fill the spheres for my God sings it,

Harmony finds the world for He wields it.

Ever-gracious Gods, givers of All.

May I always praise you by morn or nightfall.

português:

Luz há pois meu Deus a comanda,

Melodias enchem as esferas, pois meu Deus as canta,

Harmonia verte-se no mundo, pois Ele a manuseia.

Graciosos Deuses, doadores de Tudo.

português:

Mãe Hécate, senhora das tochas brilhantes, Entoo o teu nome na encruza da vida e da morte, Convoco sua presença sabendo que auxilias todos. Hécate portadora de luz, rainha dos finados, É teu o caminho pelos reinos entrelaçados, Olha por teu devoto, como guiaste Deméter. Hécate das estradas, que fende o escuro, Orienta para a harmonia e virtude divina, Ergue minha mão, guia minh'alma pra luz sublime.

Hécate dos três caminhos, saúdo tuas faces! De como te mostra, céu, terra ou mares! Vem gentil hoje, com toque afável, e o coração, acalmes.

english:

Mother Hekate, lady of the bright torches, I chant your name at the crossroads of life and death, I summon your presence knowing that you help all.

Hekate, bearer of light, queen of the dead, Yours is the path through the intertwined realms, Watch over your devotee, as you guided Demeter.

Hekate of the roads, who cleaves the dark, Guide to harmony and virtue divine, Lift my hand, guide my soul to the sublime light.
