Summoning Hathor

Most of you have heard of Chris Bledsoe’s story of the lady. I believe that this is the same energy as the Goddess Hathor.

If you wish to call on her and have her enter your space There are a few things you should do. Please note this is a summoning ritual, and it will only work if you have a completely open heart and benevolent intentions to grow and to learn from this amazing goddess.Ritual of Invocation for Hathor

Materials:

• Two candles (one gold, one blue)

• Incense (preferably myrrh or frankincense)

• A small mirror or a piece of turquoise

• Offerings (such as music, dance, or sweet foods like dates or honey)

• A bowl of water

Preparation:

1. Create a Sacred Space: Arrange a clean, quiet area comfortably. Place the mirror or turquoise in the center as a symbol of Hathor’s presence. This is surrounded by the bowl of water, which reflects her nurturing aspects.

2. Candle Arrangement: Place the gold candle to represent her luminescence and beauty and the blue candle to symbolize her celestial connection as the sky goddess.

3. Incense Burning: Light incense to purify the space and create an atmosphere conducive to divine presence. She loves either frankincense or myrrh.

Invocation Ritual:

1. Opening Words: Begin by stating your intention clearly, for example:

• “O great Hathor, lady of the sky, joy, and love, I call upon you.”

2. Light the Candles: As you light each candle, focus on the attributes of Hathor you wish to invoke:

• Light the gold candle saying, “Hathor, whose golden light brings joy and beauty.”

• Light the blue candle saying, “Hathor, endless sky, your compassion embraces the world.”

3. Offering: Present your offerings while singing, playing music, or simply expressing words of adoration and request. You then  say:

Nekhbet Hathor, Heryt-ib sen nefer, Ankhet en kemet.

Djed-medu en Hathor neb.t mery.t, neferet weret,

Heneket ka.k neb senet.

I offer these gifts as a token of my devotion and in celebration of your magnificent grace.

Here is a rough translation of this prayer in Egyptian:

• Nekhbet (Nekh-bet) - Hail

• Hathor (Ha-thor) - Hathor

• Heryt-ib (Her-yit-ib) - Mistress of the heart

• Sen nefer (Sen nef-er) - of beauty

• Ankhet en kemet (An-khet en ke-met) - Life of Egypt

• Djed-medu (Jed-med-u) - Words spoken

• Neb.t mery.t (Neb-t mer-y.t) - great beloved

• Neferet weret (Nef-er-et wer-et) - great beauty

• Heneket ka.k (He-ne-ket ka-k) - Sustain my spirit

• Neb senet (Neb sen-et) - all my days

Next If you would like to call her in: Iri-nefert Hathor, Nefer-hetepet weret,

Em-khak neferu, Ankhet kau en Heret.

Henk-ef en Heru, iw.f hna.i em akhet.

Rough translation: Come in peace, Hathor, great of favor,

With beautiful offerings, life of the house.

Join me as a companion, be with me in the horizon.

4. Water Blessing: Dip your fingers in the bowl of water and bless the room.

5. Mirror or Turquoise Invocation: Gaze into the mirror or touch the turquoise, visualize Hathor’s presence, and say:

• “Goddess of beauty and protectress of homes, bless this sacred space with your presence. Grant me (state your specific desire).”

6. Closing the Ritual: Thank Hathor for her attention:

• “Senebty Hathor, Heryt-nebet nefret.

Ha ankhi, djed en etj.

Renpet neferet, em hotep.

Shesep en ra, seneb en pa.” Translation: Farewell Hathor, Mistress of every beauty.

Remain in life, stable and established.

A beautiful year, in peace.

Receiving the sun, health to the body

7. Extinguish the Candles: Gently blow out the candles, affirming that her spirit remains though the lights dim.

Post-Ritual Reflection:

• Spend a few moments in quiet contemplation or meditation, absorbing the energies invoked and considering any insights received.

Such a ritual not only honors the goddess but aligns the practitioner with her attributes, ensuring that the invocation is both respectful and potent.
