Some years ago, I have written in the Covenant of Hekate Facebook group that there is a plan to disappear Hekate from modern archaeology. I displayed some examples of what had happened in Hellas. The members, who weren't educated about these subjects, didn't believe this theory, but now, we have a new incident, following the same political line of canceling Hekate's cult.
There is a...
Eros and Psyche is a myth we see included in the book Metamorphoses of Apuleius, written in the 2nd-century a.C. Books four to six contain the myth and it was a common Platonic habit to put a myth when you didn't want to say something openly. The myth starts from point 28 of the fourth book and ends at point 24 of the sixth book.

If you have come to Athens, you have walked to ancient Agora. You have seen Acropolis, Theision and Monasteraki. If you bought souvenirs, then there is a great possibility of passing by Tripodon street or odos tripodon (road of three feet) as we say it. Today it is considered the oldest street...
The secret underground basilica is in the center of Rome. It was built around 50 a.C. and it seems that it was a church, a temple of Neopythagoreans, that ancient Romans didn't know its existence, as it was about 8 meters below their ground.
We see Sapho launching from the cliff of Lefkada, so we can assume that they were built it. Other symbols are centaurs, satyrs, medusa, nikes (...
Having seen the previous world of Montague Summers we will continue this journey to the world of lies and propaganda through the book of Grillot de Givry, Witchcraft, Magic and Alchemy. The first edition was published in 1931 and the one I use was published in 1971 and reissued in 2009 from Dover publications. The same publishing house of Montague Summers' books...
European Witchcraft is one thing and what is written and believed about European Witchcraft is another, totally different thing. This happens for two reasons. Either the educated people were totally ignorant and they feared Witchcraft or because they wanted to promote Christianity and thus everything else should be considered as an enemy. In some cases, we clearly notice that until our century, priests are totally afraid of Witchcraft and they...
This article is not relevant to Hekate's cult, but since modern witches like myself, use cartomancy to help themselves and others by understanding situations better and seeing the future in a way, I decided to write a blog post about the French system of playing card divination, which was very popular and valid in the 18th and 19th century.
Many witches, if not all, read the Tarot...
Each one of us has a place that helps him draw inspiration and raise his energy. For me, there are some very nice options in Athens. Archaeological places related to Hekate. I visit them often to pay my respects to the Goddess and raise my energy. It is impossible not to be around them after some days, at least for me.
Today, after the end of the quarantine for the corona-virus, I...
The ROHSF is an annual celebration for the Goddess Hekate, performed once a year at the full moon of May. Devotees from around the world perform a simple rite in their shrine or altar and they are united with the Goddess and one to another to a giant chain of flames. The ROHSF was quite popular, but now, it is not as popular as it was in the past. The rite remains very accessible, translated in many l...
People have worries and anxiety. The modern way of living is fast and that's not normal. Technology and modern society make us want everything fast and now, so we don't have the time to relax and wait, because everything around us presses us to move on, make it fast, set another goal, continue...
