This week, we’re diving into the shadows and torches of the mighty goddess Hekate, or as she’s briefly invoked in Practical Magic, “Mighty Hektate, make it right.” You’ll also find her presence woven through Alice Hoffman’s novels, guiding the Owens women through darkness, transformation, and choice.

Joining us is Vincent Higginbotham, author of How Witchcraft Saved My Life: Practical Advice for Transformative Magick and co-author of Thrifty Witchery: Magick for the Penny-Pinching Practitioner, both published through Llewellyn. Vincent’s story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and the kind of magick born from survival. Through his devotion to Hekate, he’s learned that vulnerability is power and transformation can bloom even in the deepest dark.

Together, we explore Hekate’s many faces — torchbearer, keyholder, and guide of the crossroads — and what it means to walk her path in modern witchcraft. We’ll also curb some of Kristina’s hesitations about getting to know the great goddess herself (because sometimes the dark can be surprisingly welcoming).

All that and more, her history, her lore, her presence, the mighty queen of land, sea, and sky.

We’re talking all about Hekate.
