The shattered pieces of ourselves find refuge deep in Hekate’s cave. Call upon the Mistress of Souls to guide your way to where she safeguarded these soul fragments until you were ready for reunion.

Soul retrieval requires a deeper descent into Hekate’s Cave than all other forms of death walking. We must traverse the river of the dead to reach this crossroads. A perilous journey for the bravest seekers of truth. The reward is a blissful reunion with our missing soul fragments. To once again be whole.

Hekate and Soul Retrieval

Soul retrieval is performed to reunite us with pieces of our soul that take flight when we experience trauma. I’ve long been a student of soul retrieval, teaching the essence of the technique and in my personal practice. Hekate is the Mother who guides us back to our missing pieces.

It begins with letting all that which longs to die within us do so with grace and grit. During this phase, those who have harmed us, the ones who took advantage of our weakness, die to us as well.
