  O Great Lady I call unto thee, in silence words not able to be spoken.....cannot formulate to words your Essence
              O Dark Hooded figure of the night
     By the Flame of your torch lead lost souls unto their rest
                             Old One,  Time
                  whose effects not one of us may escape
              Teach me to grow old wisely
      Knarled one who holds her staff

                  Silence...      Black.         Darkness.

                                 
Queen
      
Queen ...Queen     ...death
          
Until this vessel is old and grey       

                                I am yours

Queen Hecate is an ancient Greek Goddess, predating Olympian deities of classical myth.  Her power is three-fold: in heaven, upon earth  and in the underworld.  Moving at will between all three.  Her associations with the Moon, of three-fold power, suitable for Her honor and worship. 
In modern times Hecate has became associated with only the Dark of the Moon due to her underworld association.
