The statues of gods (1)

Text
Chaldean Oracles 224*:
That even (the gods) themselves have advised how their statues ought to be made and from what kind of material, will be clear from the statements of Hekate to this effect: “But execute my statue, purifying it as I shall instruct you. Make a form from wild rue and decorate it with small animals, such as lizards which live about the house. Rub a mixture of myrrh, gum, and frankincense with these animals, and out in the clear air under the waxing moon, complete this (statue) yourself while offering the following prayer.”
