Hi. I'm new to the forums. I've been going through Keeping Her Keys by Cyndi Brannen, and I like it, and I've also been reading Liminal Rites. I wanted to know of any other suggestions to help me deepen my practice with Hekate? Spells, rituals, etc. Thanks!
Some book recommendations for you to dig into:
The Hekatæon by Jack Grayle (a very good book for deepening practice),
Hekate Soteira_ A Study of Hekate's Roles in the Chaldean Oracles and Related Literature by Sarah Iles Johnston (good University level for historical info),
The Rotting Goddess - The Origin of the Witch in Classical Antiquity's Demonization of Fertility Religion by Jacob Rabinowitz (another good one for university level history on Hekate),
Witchcraft Medicine: Healing Arts, Shamanic Practices, and Forbidden Plants by Claudia Müller-Ebeling PhD. Christian Rätsch PhD. Wolf-Dieter Storl PhD. Translated by Annabel Lee (A brilliant book on historical herbal magic with a rather large emphasis on Hekate),
Hekate: Keys to the Crossroads~ Edited by Sorita d'Este (This one gives diverse experiences of practitioners who have worked with Hekate for many years and gives a good view of how she manifests for different people in different ways).
I know I only added one specifically for deepening practice, but all of them will add to it. The more you understand the history and how those who came before us worked with Hekate, the better you can understand your own connection to Her. I hope these recommendations help you out. You can find some of these books in the library section here. I'll add that Hekate- Liminal Rites is one of my favorite books on Hekate. I'm glad that you are starting out with good material. I'll also add that anything on Her by Sorita d'Este is worth picking up.
