Entering Hekate's Cauldron: Spells, Spirits, Rites and Rituals

Finishing up the manuscript for my new book, coming out this summer.

Hail Hekate, Witch Queen,

Mistress of the Moon,

That rises and sets in her Cave,

Home of her eternal

Cauldron.

Dark Mother, grant me entrance

Into your secret lair.

Shine your torchlight

To the inner chamber

Where your Cauldron

resides.

I come, as your witches have

since before time,

Seeking the keys

Of Knowledge.

Of the Craft.

Of Mystery.

To enter Hekate’s Cauldron,

To be reborn

Into the Witch

I have always been.

The journey of book writing always starts with a spell setting the energy of the words yet-to-be-born. About two years ago, I wrote the incantation above, and crafted the frame and then added the keyword charms (paper cupcake plates) to create the vision board talisman that began what’s become Entering Hekate’s Cauldron: Spells, Spirits, Rites and Rituals.

Like with any spell, this talisman evolved into what it needed to be, which is a Book of Shadows full of witchery centered around Hekate, from magickal crafting to an initiation ceremony. Blending my personal practice with tried-and-true workings from my teaching of hundreds of students, Entering Hekate’s Cauldron offers guidance whether you are completely new to the craft or a seasoned witch.

The cauldron is the center of witchcraft, from burning herbs to cleansing, there are so many ways to invoke the power. As a symbol of Hekate’s magick and mystery, come swim in it’s waters, breathe it’s sacred smoke, and explore the spirits contained within.

This is a book about doing witchcraft, rooted in Hekate and expanding into all areas of practice, from working with spirits to unlocking the power of sigils. Now that I’m finishing the almost-final round of edits, here’s a sneak peek at the contents:

I’ll be hosting a special launch retreat for Entering Hekate’s Cauldron during the midpoint between the summer solstice and the autumn equinox. More info coming soon, including how you can sign up. Make sure to pre-order your copy.

A little treat: any orders in the Keeping Her Keys Shop come with an Entering Hekate’s Cauldron Altar Card with a ritual from the book on the back. You’ll get one with a purchase of the Hekate’s Wheel set, pictured below. Behind them are a few of the books that inspired me as I wrote Entering Hekate’s Cauldron.

Freely sharing this sacred smoke for awakening your own witch power and connection with Hekate’s Cauldron.

There’s a section dedicated to Honoring Hekate on The Dark Moon, the central practice of Modern Hekatean Witchcraft.
