Call for Submissions: Hekate’s recipe book project
We are very excited to announce the launch of a new project!
As part of our Torchbearer training, a group of devotees are working together to create a devotional recipe book to propitiate Hekate. With support from Sorita, and Keybearers Gio and Sarah, we are compiling recipes that we use in our daily lives but that have significant links to the lore of the Goddess. Much is written of Her sacred associations, whether as stories, offerings or plants that grow in Her mythic garden.
Our purpose is to create a book that is both beautiful and functional but also, one that will spread knowledge of Hekate and Her worship in an accessible way. Every act of cooking and crafting with intention is an act of devotion and magic.
We would love for you to start thinking about the many ways you honour Hekate in your modern practice and how this has been informed by an understanding of ancient sources. Have you ever baked a Greek cheesecake or made a honey cake? Do you regularly cook intentionally with garlic and onion? Are there any drinks that you make that can be linked to Hekate? Have you ever crafted an incense, oil or salve with the herbs that grew in Her sacred garden? Or is putting together an herbal tea from loose ingredients something you do regularly? The recipes do not need to be complicated or lengthy. They should just be heartfelt and linked to Hekate.
Submit a Recipe to this book project!
While our collective is writing and compiling this book, we want it to be a wider reflection of the multicultural and widespread membership of the Covenant of Hekate. In other words, we want to hear from you. You will find a link to the submission form below. We ask you to share the recipes that you have created and imbued with your own special blend of magic inspired by Hekate. These should be recipes that you have created or modified and certainly ones that you have tried before and have used for ritual, offerings, or magic. So, start having a think about what you might like to share with us.
For nearly as long as humans have had fire, the hearth has been the focal point of every family or communal group. It offered protection and a place to prepare food, but also became a place of gathering and sharing of stories and fellowship. It also represents knowledge uncovered in the light of Hekate’s torches. Help us spread the light by sharing your recipes with us and thinking of it as much more than simply cooking. Think of it as an act of devotion.
We will regularly review all submissions. You can submit as many recipes as you like, but submission does not guarantee inclusion in the finished book. The deadline for submission is 4th January, 2027. This is for CoH members only, but please feel free to share the blog post with your sanctuary and other Covenant members.
Could you share this text via email with me? Then I can forward it to those who are not so active here 🤗 thank you 💜 mavra@chthonia.de
