Hail to the keys, the crossroads, the torch, and our eternal moon.These are the gifts of Hekate. The keys of magick and mystery that she freely gives to those bold enough to claim them. Behold the power of her crossroads, the otherness of the witch. Dare we enter this space between worlds and beyond time? Follow her pale torchlight, if you will. For it is your choice alone. Lastly, to the moon above, forever watching over our witchery.

These are the gifts of Hekate’s Modern Witchcraft, as ancient as Circe and as eternal as the Witch-Mother herself. To the future, where we are free to practice as we so chose, living a life of sovereign power. And to the community of witches who follow this journey. Hail to Hekate, Keeper of the Keys!

Like the moon, Hekate has gone through phases. Haven’t we all? Here we are today when her keys are readily available to all those willing to claim them. Hekate has risen, bringing her witches along with her. Keeping her keys, we find truth, power, and kinship.

Keeping Her Keys

There is this image in my mind that has taken up permanent residency. It is of a woman, triple formed, with one well manicured hand dangling keys. Those keys look different every time I see them, and they appear different to everyone she calls. The appearance of the keys doesn’t matter for those keys are not at all keys, they’re only keys in our human perception. They are Hekate’s gifts of magick, mystery and wisdom.
