Written as both an invocation and divine theurgic discourse this elegant and visceral volume is both a delight to the eye and a guide to the awakening soul. Both famed and feared in antiquity, Hecate remains the goddess of deep witchcraft, occupying liminal spaces between the living and the dead, between worlds, between will and act. Drawing upon her experience of Hecate in both ritual worship and personal gnosis, Shani Oates delivers here a holy book of theurgic craft, structured on the five points of the pentagram and informed as much by transcendental magic as by personal sacrifice, this is an oracular text prefaced by insights deeply rooted in the cabala of the western mystery tradition, in witchcraft and in reverence of the ever-present mystery of Her Being.
