 In this video I will present the new anthology by the Temple of Ascending Flame, dedicated to Hecate, Goddess of Witchcraft and the Crossroads, one of the main deities of the temple. We will take a look at the list of contents and I'll show you sample pages from the book, the book itself and I will present the links where you can get a copy. Hecate is the Goddess of Witchcraft, Lunar Magic and Necromancy. She appears with torches in her hands, accompanied by howling dogs, serpents and ghosts of the dead, terrifying retinue that roams the land under the cloak of the night. Her powers are many and her cult involves both life and death, mystical transformation through the ultimate rite of passage and rebirth in the womb of the earth. She is benevolent and generous, both to nature and her worshipers, as well as ruthless and responsible for own nocturnal atrocities and rites of malefica. In ancient times she was believed to endow witches with the power over the forces of nature, reveal secrets of herbs and poisonous plants and introduce her followers to the mysteries of lycanthropy and shapeshifting. In the draconian tradition she is the guardian of the mystical point of crossing, where all worlds, planes and dimensions meet an intersect. Initiation into her path involves the descent into inner darkness, the personal underworld where knowledge of ourselves and our universe lies concealed, waiting to be rediscovered. In rites of draconian magic she is the guide through mysteries of witchcraft and the first initiatrix on the path, the one who meets the aspiring initiate at the crossroads of the worlds, leading us into the womb of Lilith, through the gates of the nightside. She shows us these parts of ourselves that we are not aware of, that which has to be confronted and embraced in our personal initiatory process. And she is an excellent guide for those practitioners who take the first steps on the path. In this anthology you will find many different portrayals of Hecate, which will introduce you to the magical mythology of this ancient goddess. It includes descriptions of personal noses revealed through the work of authors featured in this book, as well as references to her appearance in ancient lore and magic of old times. Like the other anthologies by the temple of ascending flame, all this is written from the perspective of the draconian initiate, involving a modern approach suitable for the practitioner of the left hand path. The essays and rituals presented here are also accompanied by serges and artwork, which you can use in your work with her. Now let's take a look at the list of contents. The book starts with the introduction, which provides the historical and mythological background of the goddess, explaining the purpose of the book. Then the articles discuss a variety of subjects.
