Join us for this exciting virtual Zoom lecture on the goddess "Hekate" Thursday, March 11, 8 p.m. with Dr. James Rietveld. Pay What You Wish: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/138021585277Hekate (aka Hecate) is popularly known as goddess of magic, of the crossroads, of the night, of entranceways, of witchcraft, of ghosts, of necromancy, of poisonous plants, of the light, and, for those who followed the Chaldaean Oracles, even worshipped as the Cosmic Soul itself. Often depicted holding a key or pair of torches, and in triple form, Hekate is earliest observed in Hesiod's Thogony as a goddess of great honor with domains in sky, earth and sea, worshipped as household protector.Later Hekate became known as Mother of Angels and the Cosmic World Soul, inhabiting the fringes, the liminal places, the realms that defy the conventions, she straddles the world of Olympian and Titan, being both, yet neither.Divergent stories mask her origins, allegedly springing from the witches of Thessaly in Asia Minor, with Classicist and archaeologist alike, trying to unearth what resides beneath all the traditions. Where does Hekate come from and why is she the mysterious goddess that still kindles out curiosity today?Join us as we follow Hekate, holding her torches into the underworld of Greek myth and legend and, perhaps, deep into the underworld of humanity’s subconscious as well.Dr. Rietveld is a professor at California State University, Fullerton, CA and Cal Poly, Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology and Religion. His specialties include the History of Christianity in the Early, Medieval and Byzantine periods, New Testament Studies and Greco-Roman religions. He received his PHD from Claremont School of Religion and is the author of two books.
