Season 1, Episode 8: Hekate: The Torch in the Dark

Standing at a crossroads? Between who you were and who you're becoming? Hecate is with you.

In this episode, we explore Hecate—the torch-bearer, the key-holder, the goddess of liminal spaces who teaches us that wholeness means holding all phases simultaneously, not choosing between them.

We're recording this between Winter Solstice (December 21st) and Chinese New Year (January 29th, 2026), in the final weeks of the Wood Snake year before the Fire Horse gallops in. This liminal time between shedding and forward motion is Hecate's domain—the threshold where transformation happens.

What we cover:

• Hecate's true mythology (before patriarchy made her "just the crone")
• Why crossroads are initiations, not destinations
• What it means to claim your keys and your sovereignty
• How to hold the torch for others while walking your own path
• The maiden-to-mother threshold and teaching from the in-between

Plus: A guided Hecate practice for standing at your inner crossroads.

If you're in liminal space right now—if you're neither one thing nor another, if you're shedding but not yet ready to run—this episode is for you.
