    About this audiobook

    Wherever you look, be it in the texts of Ancient Greece and Rome, Byzantium or the Renaissance, the Greek Magical Papyri or the Chaldean Oracles, you will find Hekate. The magical whir of the strophalos and the barbarous words of the voces magicae carry her message; the defixiones, love spells, and charms all provide us with examples of the magic done in her name. She was also associated with the magic of death, including necromancy and reanimation; as well as prophetic dreams, nightmares, healing herbs, and poisons. The temples dedicated to her and the important role she played in the mysteries of Eleusis, Samothrace, and Aigina all provide us with clues to her majesty. The popular shrines at the doorways of ordinary people, offerings left at the crossroads, and guardian statues of her at the entrance ways to cities and temples all attest to her status in the hearts and minds of those who knew her mysteries.

    In this book the authors draw from a wide range of sources, bringing together historical research which provides insights into the magical and religious practices associated with this remarkable goddess. In doing so they provide an indispensable guide for those wishing to explore the mysteries of Hekate today.

    • 5/5
      So much information it’s amazing. I feel much more prepared to start my worship after reading.
    • 3/5
      The narrator’s mispronunciation is really irritating!!
      Besides the incidences referred to in a previous review, she also pronounces “bronze” as “brontz”. Since she says it about a hundred times, it really distracts from the content of the book.
      I own this book and found it very interesting when I read it. I thought the audiobook would provide a deeper understanding, however, this narrator does it a great disservice.
    • 3/5
      The narrator MISPRONOUNCES a lot of the words which is a bit upsetting- Selene is the Luna Goddess and the E at the end of her name is over pronounced by the narrator. It’s pronounced (Cell-Leen) NOT (Cell-Leen-ie) !!!! Smh.
