It brings together essays, prose and artwork from more than fifty remarkable contributors from all over the world. Their stories and revelations are challenging, their visions and determination in exploring the mysteries are inspirational, and their enthusiasm for the Goddess of the Crossroads is truly entrancing and sometimes highly infectious.Hekate is a Goddess of great antiquity. She is primordial, powerful and sometimes animalistic - and yet, she is also sophisticated, modern and capable of adapting to different cultures. She is the Torchbearer, the Cosmic World Soul, the Guide and Companion. She is Mistress of the Restless Dead, who rules over the Heavens Earth and Sea. She is the Keybearer and so much more. Her devotees today, as throughout the ages, include philosophers, poets, sorcerers, theurgists, witches, root-cutters, enchantresses and ordinary people.In her introduction, the author and priestess Sorita d'Este brings together an exciting wealth of material on the history and development of how the goddess Hekate has been seen through the ages. As well as a fascinating discussion of her possible origins and mythological connections, the introduction also includes a timeline providing glimpses into her portrayal through the ages, with extracts from literature and examples of amulets, coins and art. The spectrum of material covered in this anthology is as diverse as the forms of Hekate herself, emphasising her role as lightbearer, keybearer, initiatrix, world soul, child's nurse, mistress of crossroads and serpent mysteries.Her devotees describe her role in traditional witchcraft and initiatory Wicca, healing and paganism, her approachability through her angels and trance oracles, her assistance in overcoming traumas and helping the dead continue their journeys. From the reestablishment of the ancient worship of the great mother goddess as Hekate in Thrace (Bulgaria) to meteorites and pilgrimages, Hekate's presence around the world and beyond is vividly described and illustrated by her torchbearers.

It's the 15th Anniversary of this wonderfully brilliant tome from Raven Digitalis. Originally published as Shadow Magick Compendium, this revised and expanded edition is filled to the brim with bits of lore, history, meditations, and exercises that the Witch can employ to embrace their own inner darkness. Practical and grounded in its approach, this book is still intimate enough to remind the Witch as well as the casual reader that darkness exists as a positive force we can actively embrace. Through facing the darker aspects of ourselves, of society, and of the world, can we truly embrace the totality of our power.Within these pages, the reader will be introduced to concepts such as the role of thoughts and emotions in the Witch's craft, incorporating invocation and godform assumptions into one's practice, retrieving parts of one's soul, and workings to find and commune with one's spirit animal. Also contained herein are folkloric and magickal associations of a wide spectrum of flora and fauna, making this a useful resource in writing spells or rituals that may align with the shadowy current of the world.

Raven Digitalis, who's fast becoming a recognized and highly influential voice in the Wiccan/Pagan community, returns with a unique and dynamic spellbook reflecting his signature approach to magick and spirituality.
