Description

Proclus, an influential Ancient Greek philosopher who lived during the time that Christianity was taking hold in the fourth century, wrote the Hymn to Hekate and Janus, a theurgical invocation that thrums with mystery and power. I find Proclus' hymn to be a soul balm, and he's quite an enchanting character. This is a wonderful prayer for the new year. Hekate is a three-headed goddess of boundaries, the moon, magic, and a soul guide, while Janus is a two-headed Roman god of transitions. Both govern all intersections, from crossing physical thresholds to the spiritual kind. Indeed, Janus was so venerated by the ancient Romans, that the first month of the year is named for him. Through the Hymn, Proclus venerates Hekate and Janus to bring harmony, protection, nourishment, and connection in our life. His theurgy unlocks something on a soul level and encourages us to connect with Hekate as a spiritual guide to embrace self-discovery, healing, and emotional awareness for a better world as we transition to the new calendar year.
