Hekate – Patroness of witchcraft, liminal spaces, herb-craft, and necromancy.
Hekate is the only child of the Perses and Asteria, and it is from these Titan parents she received her power over the heavens, the earth, and the seas. She is often depicted as a tri-form, or a three-bodied goddess, and is associated with dogs, horses, boars, cows, serpents, torches, keys, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants (especially the yew tree, aconite, belladonna, dittany of crete and mandrake), borders, door-ways, graves as entry points to the land of the dead, and sorcery.
"Hekate Einodia, Trioditis, lovely dame,of earthly, watery, and celestial frame,sepulchral, in a saffron veil arrayed,pleased with dark ghosts that wander through the shade;Perseis, solitary goddess, hail!The world's key-bearer, never doomed to fail;in stags rejoicing, huntress, nightly seen,and drawn by bulls, unconquerable queen;Leader, Nymphe, nurse, on mountains wandering, hearthe suppliants who with holy rites thy power revere,and to the herdsman with a favouring mind draw near."
Each circlet is strung in stones of solary citrine, lunary moonstone, chthonic black agate, visionary obsidian, and blue goldstone of the midnight firmament, and has been prayed over and charged on the altar of Hekate from the new moon on February 28th, 2025 - the full moon March 14th, 2025.
Wear this circlet to connect with liminality; in devotion to this goddess of the heavens, the earth and the seas; and to empower one’s operations of necromancy, herb-craft, witchcraft & mediumship. Lay it upon the earth, at one’s shrines, or wrapped about statues and icons to demarcate working ritual space in which to perform divination, operative spellcraft, and to better commune with one’s spirits.
Circlets are now available for pre-order, and orders will close on Friday, February 7th. Circlets will ship on March 21st, 2025, once they have completed their moon cycle at the feet of Hekate. These will be charged with holy waters, oils, incense, and chants over a 21-day period.
Circlets measure approx. 41" total length/20.5" diameter - they will hang at approx. the top of the ribcage.
