โ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ฐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐.โ

The Offering (Deipnon):
โขAt nightfall, carry the offerings (prepared on Day 2) to a crossroads, threshold, or outdoor space.
โขLay them down quietly for Hecate and the spirits. Do not look back after leaving them. (To look back was to doubt her power to receive and guard it).
โขPour out honey-water (water mixed with a spoon of honey) onto the ground as libation.
โขOn returning home, light a final candle at the altar and say:
โ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
