“O many-named Goddess who brings glory to humans, Whose children are fair, O Bull-eyed One, Horned One. Nature, All -mother, who brings forth both Gods and humans, You roam around Olympus and traverse the wide and fathomless Abyss, From you are all things, and in you, Eternal One, do all things end.” ”

The 2024 - Program for the 10th of March (Coming soon!)

This year the Hekate Symposium will be hosted as an online Webinar – which means that you can participate from wherever in the world you are. In Ancient Anatolia “equality meals” were offered in the name of Hekate and Zeus, and with this in mind, tickets to this event are being offered at prices to suit all budgets, including a ‘by donation’ option, with no prejudice – all ticket holders will be treated as equals.
I entreat thee, Key-bearing Mistress of the Nightwandering Souls
To bring forth your wisdom from amongst the stars
To bring down your starfire from the darkness between
