Highly Recommended

This slim collection of prayers, poems, and insights will be of value to any who feel themselves drawn to devotion of The Goddess of the Crossroads and Keyholder of the World.

This book is all about Ms. Croft's UPG and I really liked it. Full of songs, prayers, and poems there is very little about the book that is factual information, instead, it's about how she honors and worships Hekate and I loved it.

Hekate is so versatile and varied that we get hung up on the information about her and oftentimes we don't get enough of our practice with her, Ms. Croft's book doesn't. Easy and light to read I can tell you I will be referring back to it and maybe even using a few of her prayers even as I continue to build my own.

Definitely recommend it to any Hekate devotees out there.

An excellent devotional, and stellar resource for modern pagan devotees. I don't entirely vibe with the author's phrasings and view of personified deity, so that last star didn't quite make it, but it's about personal connection at the end of the day.

This book is a thoughtful collection of dedications to Hekate. It is very clearly informed from a ritualistic background and as a folk practitioner, I would need to adapt a lot of this. Still beautiful and I will be rereading it for sure.

Nice short introduction with an extensive bibliography to find more information. Well balance between UPG and common practices (modern and traditional).
