Hekate and Healing Our Mother Wound: From Pain To Empathy Keeping Her Keys: At The Crossroads of Modern Life and the Deeper World

    • Spirituality

This episode explores the powerful archetypal Great Mother Goddess, a figure that spans many cultures, times, and traditions. Focusing on Hekate as one face of this primordial goddess, and others, including Kybele, Demeter, and Kali Ma, discussing how SHE can be a powerful ally for healing our personal mother wound. The mother wound is something that we all carry in different ways, from the consequences of early childhood trauma, to the collective denial of the sacred feminine. Associated with insecure attachment, the consequences of bearing this injury are significant, often infiltrating all aspects of our lives. This painful burden shows up as mistrust, self-denial, lack of purpose, and in many other distressing ways.

We live in a time when the goddess is returning, from reclaiming The Madonna to connecting with Hekate, is occurring within many, and in mainstream western culture. This comes after centuries of being diminished due to the ubiquity of rational thought (part of patriarchy).  Restoring The Great Mother, whether you call her Hekate or otherwise, includes recognizing diversity and that we are all in need of healing. Finally, heeding the voice of the Great Mother is an invitation to not only personal healing, but to help restore balance to the world.

This episode goes well with Chapter 12, Psychopomp, in Entering Hekate's Cave.



Mentioned: The Greek Magical Papyri, The Chaldean Oracles, The Goddess and The Alphabet.


Keywords: Great Mother Goddess, Hekate, Kybele, Demeter, Moon, Bull, Torch, Dagger, Anima, Animus, Fertility, Dark Goddess, Healing, Mother Wound, Mother Complex, Symbols, Archetype.
