Of all the Goddesses of
Witchcraft, Hekate is the best known today. This workshop looks at the origins
and history of Hekate, her spheres of influence, sacred animals, relationships
with other gods, association with mystery religions, connection with the dead, and
her role in regard to famous witch-priestesses from antiquity such as Circe and
Medea. Through the examination of primary evidence including ancient religious
and magical texts, sculpture, visual art, magical gems, curse tablets, and
binding spells, the figure of Hekate will be illuminated. Participants will
also experience a ritual devoted to Hekate in order to establish and strengthen
their own relationship with the goddess.
