The goddess energy, the current empowering our tradition of the witch cult is channeled through the Goddess, Hecate. Her titles are many; The Dark Goddess, Protectress of herds and sailors, Goddess of the Crossroads (which would draw a parallel towards Baron Samedhi of several Voudoo traditions, being the Lord of the Crossroads and the mysteries of Death) as well as the Sender of Nocturnal Visions (Dreaming visitation).

Hecate is depicted as a woman or hag with three heads, each facing a different direction.

It is said that Hecate is seen in all three phases of the moon. Mythology has painted a vision of the Witch Mother with two or sometimes all three heads being that of beasts.

Each animal represents an atavistic desire which manifests in her current of lunar energy.

This power would propel her towards the goddess incarnation of the witch cult and many lines of sorcery. The moon is represented as a significant feminine force, based and connected with the element water.

Hecate is rumored to be of Thracian origin although her base was within the Roman and Greek pantheons. Though daughter of two light based deities, Perses and Asteria, Hecate dwelled in the underworld along with Hades and Persephone. Her individual powers were discovered through the shadows deep within her own being. Residing with her as well was Thanatos (God of Death), Hypnos (God of Sleep) and Morpheus (God of Dreams).

Hecate is known as the Goddess of Witches, being that of Sorcery and the Cunning Craft.

The aspects of Hecate within Roman and Greek culture show Hecate mostly in a dark or hidden aspect, having three heads (two being animal) and three torches. The vehicle wherein she traveled was a chariot guided by several dragons.

Hecate, Diana, is based on the more balanced side of the lunar Goddess. She was the watcher of mountains, forests, childbirth and women. In her dark aspect she was known as the huntress or destroyer. The Magick Light of Hecate is the backwards or 'black' wisdom of Lucifer, the Morning Star.

Hecate is the Lunar Mother, to which dream and desire give birth to the flesh of manifestation. The Gnostic God Lucifer or the Morning Star is the God of the Sun, being of Solar energy. Lucifer's goddess counter part is the Arabian Al-Uzza, a warrior of the morning star. A combination of both lunar and solar energy, strength and vision.

The Zos Kia Cultus presents the 'All - Prevailing Woman' as a combination of both Hag and young woman. The combination equals experience and focus with beauty and grace.

The twin aspects of the Hidden 'I' as AOS termed it was a combative instance of innate sexuality, in which all must be transgressed and explored in order to reach a higher level of Will and focus. The divine Woman is both beautiful and Ugly, capable of transformation from a decrepit old woman to a lithe young woman. Beauty is in the eye of the holder, yet possible through all forms of vision. The Goddess and Woman must be respected as divine and beautiful, to which all areas of magickal work be dedicated. All works to Babalon, Hecate and Kali are soaked in blood yet lined with the softest silk.

Invoke your goddess with will and strength, facing the devouring fear instinct that emanatates from the Divine Woman. The Three torches which Hecate carries give light through the darkness which she weaves and wanders in. Light in which those of the Witches Sabbat Tradition dance in astral flesh under a waning moon.The Dark Mother is present at each dream Sabbat, watching above, granting her blessings under the Night of Pan.

The date of August 13th is sacred to Hecate, it is the traditional festival held in her honor which dates back to the Roman era. It is historically the same date as the celebration of Diana, who is said to be yet another aspect of the Goddess.The callings of Hecate are a channeling of lunar energy, to those knowing of their witch blood. A rite such as that following should be held on the eve of the Sabbat as well as August 13th. An example is as follows:

Begin with casting the circle, Widdershins (7) and banishing ritual.

"Harmony is born within the circle. We are joined within this rite as children of the Goddess, she who rides the night sky. Thy dance of shadows and dream casting visions. An eye which drips the blood of the moon, to which a cloaked night gives compassion. She who holds the spirits who traverse a sky of endless processions... Hark!

Come forth, manifest in the power zone of Yesod, in which the rays cascade with silver tones of life.A fire warms the earth in your honor, to that of amber visions so clear in their ecstasy.

Widdershins around a cackling fire, your many children dance, born of witchblood and invoking the sign of Hecate, Dark Goddess of the Moon. We call your essence down, just as we dance... in spirit... in flesh!! Oh Morpheus, Hypnos and Thanatos your sight burns with life.We see much through you, desires form

a transcendent path within night.Our spells weave through your arms which hold the sacred fire. So mote it be!!!"

Hecate
