The Sacred Space Conference

Hekate, the Goddess of Witchcraft (Pharmaka) and the Crossroads, is one of the Great Ones most involved in the rebirth of Paganism as a magical tradition. In literature, She is first mentioned in Hesiod in the 8th century BCE and is the most important deity in the Chaldean Oracles, which were of critical importance to the Neoplatonic philosophers through the 6th century CE. This class explores Hekate from a Hellenic and Hellenistic standpoint with an emphasis on cultic practices. It includes a pathworking to encounter Hekate on the inner planes.
