Accurate, personal, and a must-read
To be honest, I almost passed this book by because of its home-spun appearance. I was afraid that it was just another pseudo-spiritual, misinformed New Age compiliation by people who don't really know the subject. I went ahead and bought it anyway, and I am so glad that I did! Do not let the apparent simplicty of this book fool you. Although written in everyday language, the content is among the best I've seen on the subject of Hekate. It is well-researched, and avoids (and actually debunks, much to my delight) many of the most common misconceptions of this amazing deity that even many pagans are guilty of perpetuating.My only peeve is with Part II, the personal essay portion of the book. I loved hearing the multiplicty of voices and perspectives, but it's obvious that the essays were published exactly as they were submitted; there are numerous typos, grammatical errors and other issues that could easily have been remedied with even a simple editing job. These errors detract from what are otherwise very engaging pieces.This charming and informative book should be essential reading for anyone interested in Hekate. As a scholar of religion with a personal appreciation of Hekate, I've already done much research on Her and therefore did not really learn anything "new" in Part I ("Hekate's History"), but the rest of the book definitely gave me new things to ponder. It was spiritually uplifting and thought-provoking...which is, I suppose, the point. Although academically sound, this is much more than a book for academics. It is a book for practitioners, and anyone interested in developing a relationship with Hekate would be wise to read it.

Good book. Very interesting with a lot of personal experiences.
I really like this book- some of the reviews I read about it stated the spelling was really bad, but this book is from England- I lived there & learned a lot of words are spelled differently(which I probably wouldn't have known if I wasn't there) I like reading about people's personal experiences, and with so many in one book it's nice to read all of the different stories.

Refreshing and Modern Take on Hekate
I recommend this book to all who want to know more about and the modern experiences of others with Hekate. The book is refreshing and honest in approach. I enjoyed not reading suppositions on fragments of history or the overly *sweet* impressions of Hekate dancing with fairies. I found the personal write-ups to be about real people, candidly told without frills. With the plethora of 'How-to' books on the market, its nice to have a book that talks from the first person and relates the all too human moments of revelation.
