The Rites of Hekate, from the Dirt to the Divine

In this deeply personal exploration of Hekatean magic, Dr. Lenni George charts a solitary practitioner's three-decade journey with one of antiquity's most misunderstood goddesses. Moving beyond the limited portrayal of Hekate as merely a witch's patron, George traces her evolution from a powerful pre-Olympian deity honoured by Zeus himself to her diminishment under patriarchal religious restructuring, and finally to her resurgence in contemporary practice. George develops an original system of Hekatean practice spanning the axis from "dirt to divine." Drawing on sources from Hesiod's Theogony to the Chaldean Oracles, from the Greek Magical Papyri to Renaissance grimoires, this is neither an academic treatise nor a beginner's guide, but a rigorous practitioner's account of walking with a goddess. George offers a compelling vision of Hekate as Cosmic World Soul, psychopomp, and guide through the mysteries that lie between worlds.
