Season 6 Episode 2: Hekate, the Goddess of Magick
In this episode I delve into a little bit of the origins, lineage, mystery and history of one of the most well known goddesses of magick, the amazing Greek goddess Hekate. We look at her role as the goddess of the crossroads, necromancy and witchcraft. I also find some spells in the Greek Magical Papyri that relate to her and end on a telling of the Homeric poem to Demeter, in which Hekate informs Demeter of Persephones abduction.

The season will be another season of me finding spooky and gothic horror tales due to time and brain powers not being great atm. I don't want to end the podcast but I also am struggling so stories are easy.
Starting in the episode we have a long one. The classic tale of loneliness, desolation, loss and wilderness, The Wendigo by Alganon Blackwood.

Are we are back with some Japanese tales. Staying with the demon side of things we hear the tale of Mimi-nashi Hoichi who has an encounter with an august assembly and then discuss the demons that appear in the story.
I also talk about some other demons, or spirits - yokai, known as the Hi no Tama. You will hear me cock up some Japanese translations in this and I didn't edit them out cus it's fun that way.
Enjoy the tales

So who is this Lucifer anyway and why are they not in the Bible? I delve into the mythological origins of Lucifer and how they snuck into and out of the bible from their origins as a Greek and maybe Roman god.
Forgive my mispronunciation of Alcyone and Halcyone in this not sure what came over me. I got Halycone correct once and then messed it all up….whoops, it should be “Al-see-yon” and “Hal-see-yon” as far as I am aware.
