Hekate: Goddess of modern witchcraft

Who is hekate?

Hekate is an ancient goddess of crossroads, thresholds, and magic. Her roots are deeper than her connection with ancient Greece. She was honored on the dark moon through rituals known as Hekate's Suppers. An important threshold goddess, statues to her were placed at boundaries, such as temple gates and entrances to towns and homes. In the earliest texts referring to her, including Hesiod's Theogony, she is said to govern "land, sea and sky," and holding precedence among the gods. 

Triple Goddess, Queen of Witches, Crossroads Guardian

Hekate's 3,000 years of history intersects with modern witchcraft. She calls us to claim the keys she offers, helping us to walk in the shadows, navigate the everyday realities, and ascend into the mystical.
