The Temple of Hekate: Exploring the Goddess Hekate Through Ritual, Meditation and Divination

by Tara Sanchez Narrated by Polly Lee

Overview

The Temple of Hekate is a vibrant and exciting collection of modern rituals and practices exploring the mysteries of the Goddess Hekate. In this book Tara Sanchez draws together her knowledge of ancient practices and literature, merging it with her personal experiences and ideas.



Thoroughly modern, but steeped in history, this is a book of rituals, meditations, divinations, and other techniques through which the listener is invited to explore the magick of this ancient goddess of the crossroads, sorcery, and witchcraft. The listener is introduced to essential practices such as keeping a magickal journal; setting up the altar, ritual purification, and sacred space; preparing incenses; and making a ritual robe; as well as more advanced practices such as ritual gestures, sacred vowels, and dream incubation.



Other techniques covered include knot magick and phylacteries, psychic development, and the use of banishing rituals. The exercises in this book present the beginner with everything they need, and the experienced practitioner with a new and fresh perspective. Divination is a very popular area of study amongst those interested in modern witchcraft and magic, and this book presents a unique Hekatean approach to using and interpreting the Major Arcana of the Tarot.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This book was recommended to me by the author of Her Sacred Fires, Sorita De Estes who also has a Youtube channel by that name. I am extremely pleased by the content of this book. Even though a few of the chapters review various forms of exercises relating to the basics of ritual preparation predominantly of Greek antiquity origin (setting up altars, various info on the elements, winds, Hecate incense formulas, the bulk of the book is written in an almost scholarly format including footnotes concerning who the Goddess is, various origins possibilities, many great devotional exercises and even ancient hand gestures relating to Hecate. It is one of the few credible books on Hecate in my opinion. mainly because most of the book is NOIT the authors opinions and assumptions. Sanchez pretty much sticks to actual historical/cultural/ mythical information which is well documented by her research. I especially value the exercises and authentic devotional practices meant to enhance and further develop your own relationship and interaction with the Goddess Hecate. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is sincerely interested in this Goddess. - michele braun, Amazon reviewer
