I was asked to write one chapter a month for the Moon Books blog. The day I was to submit my first chapter, I deleted it all. I was not satisfied with what I had written; I felt as if I had let Her down— that I was disappointing Her, the same goddess who had answered my prayers countless times. (I now realise that I was only disappointing myself.)
The book I had started to write was on the history of Hekate, it did not feel right to me as I was about to submit it. Deep down, I knew that this was not the book I wanted to write. There were other books published that covered the history of Hekate, many of which I mention at the end of my book, Hekate: A Devotional.
As I was deleting that original chapter, I closed my eyes and whispered my thoughts on the book to my Muse—to Hekate, She who is born of the Stars and Wonder. She whispered back to me… “My Child, write the book that is in your heart, the one that speaks the truth as to how you see me— how I reveal Myself to you.” And that is just what I did; I took the Fool’s journey and allowed Hekate to lead me on a trip of a lifetime.
Through that enchanted journey, Hekate has revealed to me a multitude of Her aspects and epithets. To this day, I am blessed by the presence of Hekate and the courage She instils in me to face the challenges in my life. I have loved and lost during the time after writing my devotional to Her; however, through it all, I have grown into a stronger woman.

The Wonder Of Unicorns
People nowadays believe that unicorns are creatures of myth and magic. However, these seventh dimensional ascended horses with light spiralling from their third eye are beings of light who vibrate at a higher level than we do. This is why we often cannot see them.
The Ever-Living One
I vividly remember when I first started writing my devotional to Hekate.
The Magic Of The Crow
Crows, black shadows flying overhead, omens of death and war. Feeders of battlefields, their cries signal dark times ahead and warn of evil prophecies. Or do they? Even though the crow is often seen as a harbinger of dark tidings, there is much more to the mythology and folklore of this amazing, intelligent bird than black luck.
Living Your Magic
One of the questions that I’m asked the most is ‘how do I do what I do? How do I live every day in my magical space?’
