A poster for hekate 's sickle festival xxxiii the power of the witch

Hekate Sees All...Knows All... and is All.


Sickle is all about its namesake:

Hekate, Goddess of the Crossroads, Goddess of Witches.


Many who follow Hekate will tell you that she is all of the gods wrapped up into one - her face shifts and changes with the seasons and as needs arise. Each year, we do something a little different, exploring difference sides of Our Lady Hekate, digging a little deeper into her magick and mysteries each year. As the Goddess of Witches, this is the perfect time to honor those who have made big impacts on the Pagan community!

I call Hekate of the Crossroads, worshipped at the meeting of three paths, oh lovely one.

In the sky, earth, and sea, you are venerated in your saffron-colored robes.

Funereal Daimôn, celebrating among the souls of those who have passed.

Persian, fond of deserted places, you delight in deer.

Goddess of night, protectress of dogs, invincible Queen. 

Drawn by a yoke of bulls, you are the queen who holds the keys to all the Kózmos.

Commander, Nýmphi, nurturer of children, you who haunt the mountains.

Pray, Maiden, attend our hallowed rituals;

Be forever gracious to your mystic herdsman and rejoice in our gifts of incense.
