Hekate: Midnight Queen of the Dead

Have you ever been down the crossroads? This week we approach the boundary between the living and the dead to visit Hekate, The Night Queen of Magick and Guardian of Lost Souls. While her association with darkness, magick and the dead is well known, we explore her ancient Phrygian origin, important overlaps with the Goddess Artemis and the mythology of where she gained her dog and polecat companions. In the extended show we discuss the Furies, her likely Ancient Egyptian origins and settle in for a reading of Crowley’s Cry of the 27th Aethyr and associated commentaries about the goddess.This week show we discuss:Hekate in the PGMPhrygian OriginsMother AsteriaFather PersesWhere did Hecate get a Polecat?Goddess of The UnderworldThe Witch MedeaArtemisLuciferOrphic Hymn to HecateBoundariesIn the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we discuss:The Furies!Hekate the Archon?Egyptian HekaHequetIsis and NepthysTHE CRY OF THE 27th AETHYR, TALLY HO!Crowley’s Invocation to HekateEach host is responsible for writing and creating the content they present.Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitMusic By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoSources:Hesiod’s Theogony:https://www.theoi.com/Text/HesiodTheogony.htmlEncyclopedia Britannica - Hecatehttps://www.britannica.com/topic/HecateTheoi - Hekate:https://www.theoi.com/Khthonios/Hekate.htmlThe Vision and the Voice: The Cry of the 27th Aethyrhttps://www.sacred-texts.com/oto/418/aetyr27.htmCircle for Hekate:https://www.amazon.com/Circle-Hekate-History-Mythology-manifestations/dp/1910191078Support the show
