Einodia era originalmente una Diosa menor en Tesalia, que más tarde fue identificada con Hekate y tomado su nombre como epíteto también de Artemisa. Fue probablemente su rol como guardiana de las puertas (Propylaia) lo que propició la sincretización de ambas diosas hacia el siglo V, pues sugiere que guardaba las entradas y las vías principales hacia las ciudades, casas y santuarios, vigilando a todo quien entrara y protegiendo a los habitantes. De acuerdo con la arqueóloga Ca

The new moon is a great time energetically to take moment, clear what needs to be cleared, be grateful and offer thanks. To give myself a way of Honoring Hekate with moon cookies that you've made is a beautiful way to connect with the Hekate during her sacred time, the Deipnon (the night of the New/Dark Moon). For some, this is a time to honor Hekate clean altars, offer charity to those in need, and reflect. It's also a time to cleanse the home and yo-self of negativity and i

A few months ago, I found myself working on Hekate’s genealogy. While compiling the information I have about her family in the schema you see above (please note that is not complete yet...) I began to consider these connections from a new perspective. Hekate, often depicted as the goddess of thresholds, crossroads, and liminal spaces, carries a legacy that extends far beyond her commonly understood domains. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, Her genealogy places Her firmly among

Recently I was kindly invited to give a small talk in Sorita's space, Meeting in the Circle. This was a fantastic discussion with very insightful questions and thoughts from the company present and I am inclined to bring the topic to the wider community. Where is Hekate "based" ? Painting by Pavel Skepevski This is a question that often comes up in the minds, in one way or another, of devotees and experienced priesthood alike. Our devotion starts with a single epithet sometim

In this blog, I am finally applying religious aspects and Hecate’s symbols to EI. This is about giving people a toolkit to work on their EI. Perhaps Hecate has provided a symbol for you. Or perhaps you know what you need to work on, and you select a symbol to remind you, and keep you focused on your journey. I want to start with the obvious; the liminality. The beach symbolises the liminality between the realms of earth and water. Emotionally and psychologically, this is a sa

April’s air feels alive like threads being pulled through the loom of the world. We’ve found our voice, and now Hecate calls us to use it in harmony with others. The solitary torch has power, yes, but when joined with many, it becomes a constellation each flame feeding the next. This month, we walk with Hecate Enodia — Of the Paths . She is the traveler and the guide, the one who meets us at every turning, every crossing. In her presence, we remember that no path is walked a

I wrote this post for the Sanctuary of Hekate Potnia Theron’s blog as an answer to one of the most common questions I get about my path. I then realized that this topic resonates with many devotees, so I decided to share it on the CoH blog as well, hoping to help others who walk on the threshold between Hekatean theurgy and Druidry. This is not meant to be an exhaustive explanation of the common ground I find between theurgical and druidic perspectives. It is just a brief exp

The Spring Equinox was considered in ancient times the birthday of the Cosmos: the moment when the Universe renews itself. It is therefore the perfect time to give birth to a talisman, aligning yourself with the higher spheres of the planets and drawing down blessings for the new you and the new season. Talisman of the Cosmos This amulet is inspired by the Italian writer Marsilio Ficino and his book De Vita (III, 19), published in 1489. In the third book of De Vita, Ficino su

March arrives like a breath after the deep work of winter, the first winds that stir the soul awake. After walking with Hecate Skotia through the Shadow, we emerge ready to speak , not the rehearsed words we think others want to hear, but the truth waiting beneath our ribs. This month, we honor Hecate Angelos , the divine messenger, the one who moves between worlds carrying sacred communication. Angelos reminds us that every word is a spell, every sound carries intention, and

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...
