After 35 years

Another year past
A new year ahead

Love is the law
Love under will

The past is done
I keep the lessons
but close the gate on the
past that no longer
serves me

To both heal and
Be healed I come to the work

My skills and talents
I dedicate to the Mother
of All; Hekate!

Reveal to me your mysteries
That I may minister to Thy Children
The outcast, the forgotten, the wanderers

Light your torch
That I may see
your way; Hekate!

I give myself to you
For there is no-self

Hekate! Now until the last.

Typically, acupuncture needles are retained for 30-60min for one treatment. A group setting allows a doctor to treat several patients an hour, and thus lower the cost per...
