Hekate: Queen of Witches, Guardian of the Dead

by Sage Keeley

Step into the Torchlight of the Goddess Who Walks Between Worlds

For over two millennia, Hekate has stood at the crossroads of myth, magic, and mystery. Known to the ancients as the Queen of Witches, Guardian of the Dead, and Keeper of the Keys, she is a goddess of thresholds—guiding souls through darkness, guarding sacred boundaries, and illuminating the hidden paths between life and death.

In Queen of Witches, Guardian of the Dead, Sage Keeley takes you on an extraordinary journey into the origins, history, and living legacy of one of the most powerful deities of the ancient world. Drawing from archaeological evidence, classical literature, and modern spiritual practice, this book reveals Hekate in all her complexity—as Titan and torchbearer, protectress and psychopomp, lunar goddess and mistress of magic.

• Her powerful epithets and their deeper meanings

• Her role in Greek, Roman, and mystery traditions, including the Eleusinian Mysteries

Step forward. The torches are lit. The goddess waits.
