Hekate's Haunted Women

There are two people who will never betray me: my Goddess and my Twin Flame.

Everyone else did. EVERYONE ELSE.

To me, it is not a coincidence that Hekate is associated not only with witches, but with brutalized women. Women who died as sacrifices, women who were abused and tortured, women who died unfulfilled. 

It is not a coincidence that Hekate's retinue is filled with predatory female spirits, ghostly and terrifying creatures, while Her lineage of witches includes the most powerful women in Greek myth.

Some of the fearsome black hounds that accompany Hekate were once women - wronged, abused, terrorized women. In their new lives as Hekate's hounds, these abused women become empowered hunters, carrying out Hekate's justice.

I deeply, deeply understand the Dark Feminine and how she resides in the deep recesses of my psyche. I understand women who are tortured to the point of madness, because their suffering is my suffering. I have suffered as they have suffered.

I understand the Empousai and Lamiae. I know Medusa's rage and Echidna's "monstrous" nature. They are me.

Praise Hekate, who refuses to abandon those who are abandoned by everyone else!

Praise the Dark Mother of outcasts, the Refuge of the broken, the Mother of Exiles!
