Video Interview with Diana, Torchbearer of the Sanctuary of Hekate Drakaina.
Diana is not only the Torchbearer of the Sanctuary of Hekate Drakaina but also an experienced practitioner working with the restless souls. This "job" that she accepted to do in honour of Hekate - opening the gate to Hekate to the restless dead - is in my opinion extremely important but also very difficult, not just to do but also to understand. This is why I asked her to organize this video interview so you can hear directly form her what her background is, how she started to work with the restless spirits and how she is creating her own practice with the guidance of Hekate.
If you are interested in learning more from Diana or if you have questions for her, please write everything down in the comment section. If we receive many questions we can organize a second interview or maybe a live event with her.
If you want to follow in her steps and dive into the study of the Restless dead this is a short list of books she recommends (and how to source them):
Restless Dead by Sara Iles Johnston (still available)
Lifting the Veil by Janet Farrar and Gavin Bones (she bought it second hand)
Hecatean Magick by B. Morlan (sometimes available on amazon and second hand)
The Goddess Hekate by S. Ronan (sadly not available)
The Rotting Goddess by J. Rabinowitz (not available)
Finally, before sharing with you the link to the interview, I want to thank Diana for her time and availability and to invite you all to check out her social accounts:

Disclaimer: this is my first video interview ever so please be patient if the recording is not very neat. If you like this format, I promise I will work on my technical/zoom skills more XD
