Hekate's History Part 1: Before The Greeks To The Romans

  • Hekate's history is as complex as our personal experiences of her. From the Neolithic cave of The Great Mother through to the Roman depiction of her as the nefarious Queen of Witches, Hekate has travelled throughout the centuries, leaving a trail of mystery and magic behind her.
    In this first part, I discuss Hekate's etiology in The Great Mother, through to how the earliest Greek writers portrayed her, in religious and fictional sources, and practices associated with her (notably honoring her through a special supper/ritual on the dark moon), to first-hand records from magical practitioners, to the channeled text where she is understood as World Soul. I end up with how Hekate, and her frequent companion Artemis, were reinvented by the ancient Romans, and how the influence of the various solar god cults (such as Apollo) may have been involved in her transition to a rather nefarious figure.
    Throughout the 1500 years of history I cover, there are themes that emerge from the different ways Hekate was understood, such as being associated with the underworld journey, thresholds, magic, misfits, and children (which is often overlooked today).

    Dear Cyndi, I just finished reading "Entering Hekate's Garden" and was completely charmed by it. There is so much practical information, but it feels poetic in a real sense. I connected to the book emotionally and imaginatively, it feels like a modern classic. Brava on a job well done.

    I really appreciate your way of expanding on Hekate .
    Many people like to take a theme and put it In a container and label it in a way that makes sense to them. But this also limits it . There is so much going on here and you have revitalized my love for this by realizing there is more than I can understand. This in my opinion gives Hekate more life . Thank you 🙏 you are doing an amazing service for us.

    Thank you for this video. Reading circle for Hekate by Sorita d'Este helped a lot learning of her history. You did well summing it up in a video. I can't wait for your new book! I own all your others & have to say I frequently use Hekate's garden to plan ritual & workings. It's an amazing work. I can only imagine what it will be like going into her cave with you. XX

    Dearest Cyndi. I have found you and Hecate after 3 decades of wandering off the path of Hecate. I am pretty sure I’m a current day embodiment. I’ve been called the death doula and many things in between and have lived mostly in solitude learning from many spiritual guides. But now I feel like I am home. Your second book is the one for me. Blessed Be. Thank you.

    I’ve red some interesting words from a well-known person that all the well-known and not so famous gods and goddesses around the world, once live on earth with humans, but most of them left with this REASONS: 1. People in leadership positions or any of an authoritarian figure position or GREEDY PEOPLE in general may start to constantly use them for their own gains. 2. Pollutions. 3. Too many wars between different lands. *Ever since I’ve red that one, it always marked in my mind, and always thought a lot of WHAT IF, such as WHAT IF there are no pollutions and everyone just makes their efforts to get along with one another, I wonder if ever that was true, then how would the world be like with this immortal gods and goddesses around them.

    What are your feelings on Hekate as Dhumavati? Also do you feel that the triple goddess form is Mia perceived but is a modern app located for the story of Persephone and it’s a three faced vision of Hekate Demeter and Persephone?

    • @CyndiBrannen
      @CyndiBrannen  Год назад +2

      I feel that Hekate, Dhumavati, and the others are all expressions of the sacred feminine. As mortals, we apply names, create stories, and the like, to help us make sense of what is essentially far greater than our grasp.

    I swear diving into this massive rabbit hole into a sink hole I've found.... Soul contract for psychologically self gaslighting that it's all going to be ok. And mom's love was and always will be "CONDITIONAL" fine then if you're going to walk away and leave me when I'm just as stubborn as she was ... Hopes she lightens the key ring at least ...... She Hecate/Diana almost all of these aliases have lurked around me as far back as I can remember all too familiar and origin story to a tee I'm literally recognizing after almost a decade of having become an orphan an my support system I thought I had crumbled and left me wounded in the swamp ditch to die but literally my body shutdown for a little bit and I managed to break on through to the other side and find my way back pretty sure she got me back cause I remember being heavily depressed and manic and calling out for help then finding myself gazing back at myself in the mirror always random keys I have and find and keep and lost and so forth and also my black mastiff ophelia that I rescued was a runt and my hellhound.... I'd heard of Diana and Gaia and so forth but not until recently of Hekate I've always favored a force of feminine that wasn't to be reckoned with always loved the named Lilith and weird fixation on anomaly esque snakes and lizards and animals and always feeling lost and alone searching for an idea of a home I never had that I'll never find then the rawest offer of a place with hades and more duties to bare with tact ...... Just way too much similarities with her for me it's achingly bitter that it's taking me this long to come full circle when my favorite game was always hide and seek and I loved hiding in the dark 🌑 .... The damn foxes won't stop taunting me and have impeccable timing so I feel A day maybe even a lifetime of owed reckoning isn't far from home .... My experience when Mom shows up quiet and organized something is going to happen...... We're all getting time outs and spankings now jk
