Hekataeon
Authored by: Jack Grayle
The Hekataeon by Jack Grayle is a remarkable grimoire presenting a complete system of self-initiation into the mysteries of Hekate, the Maiden-Serpent-Wolf who stands at the crux of the crossroads of all realms and realities. As such, it presents dozens of rituals, rites, spells, songs, scripts and sorcerous workings to ally oneself with the Lady of the Crossroads herself, as well as the witch-queens of late antiquity which embody her current of chthonic magic, to include Medea, Kirke, and Pasiphae. It also contains hymns to win the blessing of goddesses and gods such as Artemis, Selene, Persephone, Apollo, Helios, Hermes and Dionysus. Within its pages are consecrations for tools of art, by invoking powerful daimons such as Kerberos, Orpheus, the Fates, the Furies, and the Greco-Egyptian underworld spirit BAXYXSYXYX.
Through the labyrinthine path laid out in this work, the reader first becomes a Devotee, then an Adept, and finally a Hierophant of Hekate’s mysteries. In the end, the book itself is enlivened through these workings, so that with the final rite it awakens, and becomes the reader’s spiritual assistant, to guard, guide and aid in the arte forevermore.
