Hecate’s Night

I have been planning a ritual (nothing strenuous) for Hecate’s Night.  Here’s some links:

And here is the invocation (based upon the work of Orpheus)

We call out to Hecate of the crossroads
Beautiful and lovely
Of Earth, Sea and Sky
Saffron robed Goddess
Who walks amongst the Dead
Daughter of Titans
Who rejoices in the company of animals
Dark Lady of the Night
Irresistible One
Unbridled Woman
Unconquerable Queen
Who holds the key to the many Worlds
Whose coming is announced by the howls of beasts
She who guides and protects
Mountain roaming midwife
Hecate we entreat you
Be present in our rite
Come with joy and kindness
Hecate we call to you
Come and be seated in this throne
Accept our gifts and share this feast

The book is out!

This is the anthology that I wrote and essay for; in fact it is the “What is a Hedgewitch” essay that helps to open the book! It is published by Pendraig in California, a small (but growing) Witchcraft Publisher. It is edited and compiled by Veronica Cummer and has such contributors as …

Raven Grimassi

Robin Artisson

Eric de Vries

Papa Toad Bone

… to name only a few.

Here is the little blurb:

Hedgewitch Craft takes its name from the practice of travelling beyond the boundaries, of going past the “hedgerows” that divide what is known from what is unknown. Hedgewitches utilize diverse techniques to undertake the night-flight into strange and sometimes dangerous places in order to gain spirit-allies, magickal abilities and knowledge, to heal and to commune with the Gods and the ancestors.”

From the ancient to the modern, from the philosophical and historical to the practical and mystical, these essays span a wide variety of paths and approaches.

My own copies are still on their way, that’s how new this book is, and I can’t wait!

Where can you buy this book? Check out Amazon; check out the Pendraig webpage for a… Continue reading
