Re: Strophalos of Hecaté or Hekate's Wheel

I've been holding off responding to this thread as it seemed we were going off topic from the Strophalos in discussion and was wondering if maybe we didn't need to create a new thread again. But then I got to thinking if maybe that wasn't part of the issue when talking about the Straphalos, trying ...

Re: Hekate & Her Mysteries

When I first head the term I was equally unfamiliar with it. What was interesting was I was not doing it for human dead at the time but animal dead which was interesting. Honestly, that's really rather unsurprising (to both of us, I imagine), given the wildly variable nature of nomenclature, especi...

Re: Hekate & Her Mysteries

I've switched the order of things around a bit on this one. Just felt I needed to. Works for me. A Spirit Keeper is a Psychopomp role. Basically the person agree's to assist the spirit of the deceased as they transition while they drop their earthly garb. it might be for a short time or it could be...

Re: Strophalos of Hecaté or Hekate's Wheel

I think for me it's the fact the twisting is not even just religious. It's like looking at Artemis and even Hekate and using the word Virgin. Virgin in ancient Greece didn't mean that they had no sexual relations it meant they were beholden to no man. Yet today, nearly every time you read or discus...

Re: Hekate & Her Mysteries

What you say there about sort of being adopted by the power of the sea sort of applies to Artemis and her influence over animal life in the sea's. Figure she is not per say "Of the sea" her self but as Mistress of Animals she is holding influence over the catch of the sea's. The fertility...

Re: Hekate & Her Mysteries

For me it just tied in to her holding dominion over the seas. In that capacity I'd not expect her to be dressed in the garments of the land but of the sea's and oceans. Being on the rocks was sort of like how Sailor's envision Mermaid's I suppose but she didn't have the mermaid tail. Which when I s...

Re: Strophalos of Hecaté or Hekate's Wheel

I know for me it helps me understand "context" better if I try to look at the larger picture. Paganism is abused with pseudo history or selective history as it is. Then add in that when people cite things they take quotes but never really dig into them or look at just what is actually bei...

Re: Hekate & Her Mysteries

She's definitely taken on some interesting appearances over the years. Perhaps once of the strangest was a watery appearance. In that instance she sort of reminded me of Calypso from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. She had lots of sea weed and shells upon her and while she was not entirely on t...

Re: crazy ride with Elubatel

It will indeed, but this is a good way of essentially testing the waters and increasing your "purchase" within the sphere of the angels one chooses to work with. Coming to understand the Heavens is a solid means of accessing them more readily.
