I can’t wait to get this book. Hekate has been calling to me very strongly. She inspires me more than I have been in quite some time. I want to learn of and experience her as much as humanly possible. Thank you for this writing.
Hekate is. Many might be I just know for me Hekate is. You described so many things in my soul with your words to her. Thank you. Look into Seude’s dogman star album, Hekate is weaved through out it.
