The Sanctuary of Hekate Althaia was conceived as a meeting place for like-minded people
who are interested in study, self-betterment and service and are
looking for
healing or advice, dialogue, companionship or the occasional group ritual.
My life is
a quiet life, my days spent largely alone and in silence. I practice yoga and
meditation on a daily
basis. I try to
spend a lot of time
outside; my summers in tending my large, rather wild garden and in the
winter
you might come across me somewhere deep in the woods.
I avoid undue amounts of time on social media,
preferring to read as
much as possible and occasionally I paint or draw when
I feel
moved to do so.
I have
always been enthralled by Divinity in all her manifestations,
never being particularly
affiliated with any one particular deity up until Hekate introduced
herself
into my life. Since
then I have been trying to get to know her better: (1) by
research and study of academic texts and ancient classics in
philosophy,
history, mythology as well as magic and theurgy; (2) through travel to
select
archaeological sites and museums, and (3) through that deep
understanding which
comes from direct experience through ritual and meditation.
And, although I feel like a beginner, I nonetheless look back on 60
years of
life experience and will gladly share any knowledge or ability with
fellow
students.
We are all familiar with the old adage:
"When the student is ready, the teacher will come." - it goes both
ways: "When the teacher is ready, the student
will come." We
all learn from each other.
