Night of Hekate

WHEN?:: Sunset 16th to Sunrise 17th


WHAT??:: This is the night when Hekate roams the Earth with her hounds. It is also the night when new initiations are made for Witches who are called to her service or wish to follow her. A traditional offering to Her, also called Hekate's Supper, is honey left on the doorstep in a small bowl. Hekate then blesses those inside. Hekate's Supper was also held at crossroads and She is known as the Goddess of Crossroads.

Hekate, the ancient Greek name for the Triple-Moon Goddess, traditionally represented the three aspects of women: Maiden, Mother, Crone, signifying mind, body, spirit, and birth, life, death. She is now best known in her Crone aspect, represented by the Dark Moon. She is often seen holding a lit torch (enlightenment, wisdom, clarity of vision), keys (knowledge, unlocking the mysteries), and a rope, reminding us to be free of slavery and also the cord of rebirth. Her Sacred Hounds represent protection. Snakes symbolize wisdom and knowledge, especially of the healing arts, as well as the art of prophecy.

She continues to be known as the liberator of women. She is a mighty Goddess and one whose strength can be a model for our lives today, especially as we are Gathering the Women to Sisterhood, and strive to dismantle patriarchy.
