Hekate (Ritual & Meditation Music)

Written & Composed By : Shane Lint of Mimirs Well © 2021 Shane Lint - Mimir's Well USA. All Rights Reserved. Hekate (Hecate) is a goddess of Greek mythology capable of both good and evil. She was associated with witchcraft, magic, the Moon, doorways, and creatures of the night like hell-hounds and ghosts. Often depicted carrying a torch to remind of her connection with the night, in sculpture she has three faces for her role as the goddess of boundaries and the guardian of crossroads. According to Hesiod in his Theogony, Hekate (Hecate) is the daughter of Perses and Asteria, making her the granddaughter of the Titans Phoebe and Coeus. Euripides, on the other hand, mentions her mother is Leto. Other writers claim her as the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, Aristaion or Night. The goddess was frequently associated with Demeter and even assimilated to her in some cults. The goddess had unusual rituals performed in her honor in the Greek religion, which include the offerings of food - given at crossroads, road junctions, and any other sort of boundary or threshold - known as 'the supper of Hekate. These took the form of small cakes of eggs, cheese, bread, and dog meat, which were lit with miniature torches or, alternatively, a dish of red mullet, which was usually prohibited from offerings to the other gods. Hekate was also offered the sacrifice of dogs, especially puppies. The dog connection may be the fact that dogs were known to eat the dead if left unburied; they also howl at the moon, of course. A further canine connection may be with the Egyptian god Anubis who guided souls to the underworld, and the Greek three-headed hound of Hades, Cerberus, may be an earlier form of Hekate. The offerings to the goddess were made each month during the night of a new moon. The goddess was especially appealed to by sorceresses for aid in their magic and spells and appears on surviving examples of curse tablets. #MimirsWell #MimirsWellPodcast #MimirsWellMeditation #Hekate #Hecate #GreekGoddess #GreekMythology #Witchcraft #Meditation #PaganMeditation #GreekMeditation #GreekPaganism #Wicca #HekateMeditation #HecateMeditation #DarkAmbientMusic #RitualMusic
