How you pronounce Her name?

Proclus emphasizes that language has the ability to mirror a higher reality. For the neoplatonics, we should give much importance on the names, as those are connected with higher elements of the universe. So, let's move to pronounciation: Ἑκάτη

First symbol is daseia. You breath out to make a heavier vowel, on our case, E.

E,ε – like e in end (v)

Κ,κ – c in cat (c)

Α,α – like a in at (v)

Τ,τ – t in tell (c)

H,η – like e in be (v) 

The intonation is on α, as you see in the tonic mark.

Theurgy and Philosophy are two different methods which lead to the union with God.
