Wishing you and yours a beautiful, blessed and bright Winter Solstice!
The Hekate Triformis Symposium – Glastonbury 2012
Just a quick announcement for regular readers who are interested in the Goddess Hekate, or share a passion for all things magical. In May 2012 there will be a small conference in Glastonbury (Somerset, England) at which people from all over the world who share a passion for the Goddess Hekate will be gathering for two days of lectures, workshops, ritual and devotion to the Triple Goddess of the Crossroads.
I will be one of the speakers, as well as being involved in the organisation of this unique event and am excited beyond words at the prospect of sharing the experience with other Hekate Devotees, Priests, Priestesses and people interested in learning more.

Sacred Fires x 3
When in May 2010 I released a simple ritual called the Rite of Her Sacred Fires honouring the Goddess Hekate to coincide with the release of the Hekate Her Sacred Fires project being published, I had no idea just how positively it would be received. The ritual has been and continues to be performed by people all around the world, many of whom does it as a Full Moon practice every month to honour Hekate. In the first year there were about 3000, maybe 4000 people who participated, and in 2011 a few more. The ritual has now been translated into 13 languages – see www.sacredfires.co.uk for details.
In 2012 the Rite of Her Sacred Fires, being on the Full Moon of May, will also be very near to the festival of Beltane, celebrated by contemporary Pagans and Wiccans all around the world. To celebrate I will be hosting a small symposium in Glastonbury (Somerset, England) with talks, workshops, rituals and much more on the 5th and 6th of May. Tickets will be limited as larger venues in Glastonbury have all been fully booked more than a year ago, so it will be important to book promptly to secure a place.

If successful we hope to grow this into a larger yearly festival, and year one will be very much orientated towards learning and community!
