Hekate : Liminal Rites

Liminal : relating to a transitional or initial stage of a process/occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold.

We all walk the liminal. Because, if we are true to ourselves, we are always at a crossroads.

If you understand the above…read the book above the above and research Hecate.

I was taught to pronounce her Hec – Ah – Tay. It may be wrong (?)

She is the Triple-Headed Goddess of the Crossroads and, once upon a time, her gifts and powers were seen as Good and Positive.

She carries TWO Torches to Light the Way and a Key to Open All Doors. And all Three Heads Face Forwards (?!?)

But – somewhere along the timeline she became associated with Black Magic. Suicides and Criminals being hanged at crossroads. EVIL and all that is DARK and Dangerous.

How can a Goddess who carries TWO Torches be dark?

Think of a crossroad.

Behind is Pitch Black. Her two flames light, and the key opens – the three ways ahead.

PAST. PRESENT. FUTURE?
