I've decided to take part in a work that a friend shared. This is a look at the Goddess Hecate over thirty days. My entries will not be consecutive, but rather more of a way for me to look back and honor her.
This page will be available by clicking the link in the menu above labeled 30 Days of Hecate. Each entry will be linked below and entered as a new blog post. My goal is to provide a comprehensive study of the Goddess, and by doing so, further my study in my quest to become a Torchbearer for the Covenant of Hekate.
The posts will be as follows.
