Entering Hekate's Garden Video Guide

“Herbalist and psychologist Brannen (Keeping Her Keys) presents a wide-ranging botanical grimoire based on the traditions of ancient Greek goddess Hekate and her daughters, Circe and Medea. Brannen opens by reframing the mythology around the goddesses, suggesting that rather than being dark and evil sorceresses, they are empowered practitioners who use their extensive knowledge of the natural world for both “bane and blessing.” Brannen’s “pharmakeia” (“part art, part science, part intuition and part experience”) is made up mostly of spells and rituals, and covers the basics including banishing, protection, and spell building, as well as a variety of astrological, elemental, and magical correlations. At the heart of the guide is detailed information on 39 plants (among them dandelion, fennel, frankincense, juniper, lavender, and mugwort) explaining their physical and metaphysical properties, and how they can be incorporated into spells. For instance, moss can be added for slow-acting spells, and olive oil is best for “consecrating sacred icons.” Brannen mixes her recipes with poetry and explanations of Hekate’s influence as “Queen of Witches.” This’ll be a handy resource for witchcraft practitioners.” -Publisher’s Weekly Starred Review.

The Rise of Soul Medicine
The return of witchcraft, and the closely related rise of holistic medicine, demonstrates that people know that the current approach to healthcare fails us in many ways. The world is evolving, and witches and other healers, are leading the return of the true medicine. Of course, the true medicine never disappeared. It was being practiced all
along by witches and other healers, who learned to practice outside of the glare of the watchful eyes of the powerful. We also learned to adapt the useful parts of their medicine for our healing.

Desperate For True Medicine

We are desperate for the true medicine that can offer. This is why so many horribly damaged people turn to witchcraft for help. It is why my inbox is full of those in need of healing. If you are suffering, know that witchcraft, the true kind that draws you
inward to heal the shadow and retrieve the soul, may be your cure.

This is not the pseudo healing offered by a pill, nor is it found in a ball of white light. The only way out of hell is through it. Excessive clinging to the light not only avoids the darkness where healing resides but can burn us to ash.

The Healing Power Of The Shadow

Our personal underworld journey is where we find healing and from which we are reborn into our unique power. None of this is easy. Our journey will be unique. What works for another may not for you. We often must keep trying different treatments – from crystals to past-life regressions – to find the medicine that works for us. There is great beauty in this journey. Work with poison pharmakoi, such as aconite, to enter deep shadow healing.

We Practice Wild Medicine

Our minds have been deceived by the powers that be into believing that we must “cure” our uniqueness. Of ways of experiencing the world have long been feared by those in power. We have always been the wild ones they sought to control. No wonder that their medicine rarely works on us.

Our medicine is found in the darkness. It is the poison that heals, and the power of the
natural world. This medicine is not found in the halls of corporations, but by returning
to Hekate’s Garden where the keys to our healing are found.
