Medea: Her Story, Themes, Correspondences, Rituals, Spells and More

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 3:57 pm By Cyndi Brannen

Medea is the eternal witch. Her archetype is one of the woman feared by men so much that they transformed her into a creature to be vilified. This is not the truth of Medea. As Hekate has risen, so has this eternal witch-daughter of hers. She meets us at the crossroads where she tells us the truth of her story. She tells us that time's up for all those who have robbed us of our power, and forced their pain upon us. Medea is a powerful ally, a witch ancestor who guides her descendants along their earthly journey. Not for the timid or weak, Medea's medicine is strong and fierce. Read more

Hekate and the Summer Solstice: Suggestions for Themes, Rituals and Correspondences

Last updated on: June 18, 2020 at 7:16 pm By Cyndi Brannen

The Summer Solstice is the time to acknowledge Hekate as the Keeper of the Keys of all creation and along our personal journey. Three contemporary ways to incorporate Hekate into solstice workings include a gratitude ritual, personal sovereignty work and seeking her assistance for shadow taming. Using plants, symbols, colors and other correspondences associated with Hekate adds strength to these workings. I offer suggestions including Dittany of Crete and Fiery Flower of Creation symbolism as examples of correspondences and symbols that can greatly enhance our rituals evoking Hekate on the Summer Solstice.

Hekate: Goddess of Our Time

Last updated on: June 18, 2020 at 7:29 pm By Cyndi Brannen

From pop culture references to this Goddess of the Underworld, to spiritual writers contemplating her archetypal meanings, Hekate has emerged as a Goddess of Our Time. More importantly, as the Witch Mother, Hekate has appeared to her chosen offspring in ways that can be startling and overwhelming. A common theme within this intimate experiences of Hekate is that she appears during our darkest moments. Hekate is primal power, the source from which all life flows. She comes in many guises, from the ancient crone to the mighty sovereign women. In all of these faces, she speaks of healing, power, and a call to return to her crossroads. Read more

Artemis, Wild Goddess: Her Story, Themes, Correspondences and More

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 3:03 pm By Cyndi Brannen

Artemis the solitary hunter, stalking her prey and yielding to no man has always been a symbol of sovereignty. She is, above all, the Mistress of Arrows, whether in her epithets linking her with Hekate as "far shooting" or when she took down Orion. Never cruel, Artemis always aimed for the heart lest her enemies suffer (well, most of the time but this is a blog and not a book) regardless of animal or man as her prey. Her arrows were always true, providing us with many lessons on how we should always aim for the heart. Read more
