Vol. 1 Issue 3, “Therobromos”
As the sun begins to shine less each day, the howling of animals announces the arrival of our issue 3 of “Katabasis: A Journal of Hekatean Devotion & Scholarship” as Hekate Therobromos, She who commands and drives the feral heart. Frightening sounds, smells of filth and sight-seeing through hellish landscape are not gentle as Hekate guides Her devotees through the hardest parts of being human in this world right now. The snake, the horse, the lion, the dog…and the unseen virus has forced us to see true reflections and confront the ugliness of society.
In this issue we share insights from familiar voices and welcome new visions from Hekatean practitioners. Our occultic bard Harper Feist brings forth terrifying imagery of Hekatean dread with her poem “ΘΗΡΟΒΡΟΜΟΣ (Heralded By Monsters)”, and oracular prose is revealed by Hekate Herself through poetess Christine Berger in “Queen of Darkness”. Ancient PGM magick is adapted and utilized for Covid by Inara Cauldwell in “Papyri in Pandemic Times” and copy-editor, witch extraordinaire Lucera A.F. shares a deeply spiritual and personal experience of Hekate as “filth-eater” in “The Affliction, The Fury and The Filth”. Artists in this issue include evocative photography by S.A. Bradley, mixed media madness by Harper Feist, magickal imagery from the highly talented Roy G. Biven, and breath-taking cover art by Poquis…all must be seen with naked eyes to be believed.

Volume 1 Issue 2, “BRIMO”
Anger with agency, action of Will and the fiery light of Hekate fill the pages in this issue of “Katabasis: A Journal of Hekatean Devotion & Scholarship”. Brimo is the terrible epithet applied to so many Goddesses, specifically Hekate…and the all-female contributors in this issue are fierce forces of nature to match. Things happen when women become angry, and the empowering relationship with Hekate motivates to transform this into beautiful devotional poetry, terrifying art and inspired knowledge.
This Beltane issue of Katabasis melts together ideas and praxis of long-time devotees Setjataset (“Hekate’s Fire”) and Fawn Hexe (“Whirling Wheels”). Katabasis also presents Hekate inspired devotional poetry by Harper Feist (a series titled “ΤΙΤΑΝΙΚΟΣ (TITANIC)” and Inara Cauldwell (“She Is”), with a hymn by Genaia de Carrefour.
