In this blog post, I want to explore the dark side of EI; when people who think they have a developed EI end up using it badly or managing themselves and others badly. This largely involves busting some myths, and these myths come under two categories: Managing emotions and communicating with others. These are thoughts I’ve developed myself and things I’ve come across in my own journey, so this list is not exhaustive.

February sits in the quiet between winter’s stillness and the first promise of spring. It’s a liminal space — one foot in the dark, one foot reaching for light, and no goddess understands that balance better than Hecate Skotia. Crossroads Oracle - HecateBrimo.org This month’s path invites us to face what we often avoid: the hidden, the uncomfortable, the shadowed parts of ourselves that whisper in the quiet. Hecate Skotia, The Dark One , doesn’t dwell in darkness as punishmen

The Oracle of the Hekatean Path is widely used deck in our community. In my exploration of the connections between art, creation, and devotion, I had the opportunity to interview Kenn Payne, the creative mind behind this deck and he was kind enough to share every detail of the Oracle’s story with us. I hope you will enjoy discovering Kenn’s journey into creation as much as I did.! Can you tell us a little about yourself and your spiritual journey that led to creating the Orac

I'm a sucker for a DIY project. I'm the person who always wants to put my own spin on whatever project I'm doing. And creating magical journals/Book of Shadows/Grimoires is no different. Creating magical journals has been my new fun DIY project. Since becoming a devotee, I'm journaling - a lot. I've got a grimoire for spell work, a journal for dreams, one for astrology, tarot, and divination. I do these practices in different places so I have more than one. I like to record m

Her Sacred Fire, painting by Annalisa Corato - All Rights Reserved Art and Magic are intimately connected. Both use a symbolic language that, rooted in an ancient tradition, reflects the human soul across the centuries, speaking at the same time to the unconscious and to intuition, to what ancient philosophers called nous . Art and Magic transmute raw matter into creative power, connecting the material world with the divine one. They lift us beyond our horizon, guiding us tow

We begin the new year standing where we always return, at the crossroads. The quiet hum between what’s been and what’s yet to come. In that hush, Hecate Phosphoros lifts her torch, and suddenly, everything feels possible again. January is not about reinvention for its own sake. It’s about reigniting devotion, remembering why we walk this path and what our light serves. Hecate Phosphoros, the Light Bringer, reminds us that illumination is not blinding or constant. It’s the slo

As we look toward 2026, our goal is to bring Hecate’s timeless wisdom into the modern world — through stories, reflections, and insights that make her mysteries accessible to today’s seekers. Each of the following prompts invites you to explore how Hecate’s ancient presence moves through modern lives, cultures, and communities. Choose one that calls to you — or let it spark something entirely new. 🌙 1. Hecate in the Modern World: The Goddess at the Crossroads of Change How

Oneiromancy is the practice of divination through dreams. Interpreting dreams to gain insight into the future, hidden truths, or messages from the divine or the subconscious is a very powerful tool, especially during difficult times, when we are ill, or when we seek clarity about complex situations. Today, however, we are not talking about healing through dream incubation - which is a peculiar practice that deserve its own post (and probably more than one) - but rather about

Liminal times are powerful thresholds, moments when the world feels suspended between one state and the next. From Samhain to Yule to the Rauhnächte and the New Year, these transitions echo the essence of Hekate, Goddess of liminal spaces and sacred in between places. In this article, I explore why these turning points of the year feel so deeply connected to her and why they hold such meaning in my personal practice.

In this blog piece, I will provide some examples which show emotional intelligence in practice. I will outline some example scenarios which will show either a well-developed EI, or not. If you have been doing the exercises that I provided in part 1, then I will provide some assessment questions for you here at the end.

As we reach the final month of The Hekatean Path, I want to take a moment to thank you for walking this journey with me. Over the course...

In the guiding light of Hekate's torches, we find ourselves contemplating the profound virtue of Temperance, a quality not merely of moderation, but of a deep, resonant harmony within the spirit and mind. In the ancient tongue, this virtue was known as Sophrosyne, a concept far richer than its modern translation might suggest. It speaks of a sound mind, of self-control, prudence, and an inner wisdom that guides our actions and reactions. We invoke Hekate Enodia, the guardian

In Hesiod’s Theogony, Hekate emerges not as a dark witch-goddess, but as a powerful, benevolent deity who bridges worlds. Honored by Zeus and holding influence across land, sea, and sky, she embodies the balance between light and shadow, ancient and new, a goddess of thresholds whose roots may reach back to Thrace.

The first way we explored healing with Hekate was through Her Sacred Grove. Next was through Integrative Healing with Hekate. Thirdly in this series, we offer you a Hekatean Healing Amulet craft.

I’m new here. I'm new to this space, but not new to Hekate. I’ve been following Her since 2023 but became a devotee in mid-2025. I may be a beginner, but I bring curiosity, joy, and an eager willingness to learn.

Originally published in Noumenia News issue 61 by Marcel, Torchbearer Hello dear friends. As some of you may know, my religious practise and the holy days I celebrate are usually based on the Hellenic (Attic) calendar from antiquity. Nevertheless, the celebration of Halloween still has a place in my personal sacred year, so I took the opportunity to think about why and what might be a connection between two quite different parts of my personal devotion to Hekate as the Guide
