Season 6 Episode 2: Hekate, the Goddess of Magick
In this episode I delve into a little bit of the origins, lineage, mystery and history of one of the most well known goddesses of magick, the amazing Greek goddess Hekate. We look at her role as the goddess of the crossroads, necromancy and witchcraft. I also find some spells in the Greek Magical Papyri that relate to her and end on a telling of the Homeric poem to Demeter, in which Hekate informs Demeter of Persephones abduction.

Start of Season 5!
The season will be another season of me finding spooky and gothic horror tales due to time and brain powers not being great atm. I don't want to end the podcast but I also am struggling so stories are easy.
Starting in the episode we have a long one. The classic tale of loneliness, desolation, loss and wilderness, The Wendigo by Alganon Blackwood.
Content warning, language representation of native peoples. Emotional trauma, loss, isolation.
