“Cyndi Brannen brings a grounded and complete understanding of Hekate and witchcraft, as has rarely been seen before. Her joy and her craft shines with every word.” —Amy Blackthorn, author of Blackthorn’s Book of Sacred Plant Magic   A comprehensive overview of modern Hekatean witchcraft, Entering Hekate’s Cauldron is about doing witchcraft, specifically witchery centered on the beloved goddess Hekate, with her etheric cauldron as the source. This book is for anyone interested in deepening their spiritual journey as a witch. Entering Hekate’s Cauldron completes Cyndi Brannen’s trilogy, including Entering Hekate’s Garden and Entering Hekate’s Cave, which may be read in any order.

  Written in the style of a traditional Book of Shadows, the contents cover many of the common practices of modern witchcraft, ranging from personal development to spells, rites, and rituals. Beginning with foundational practices, such as setting up an altar and connecting to a spirit guide, the book then offers instructions for understanding and honoring Hekate. A deep dive into correspondences follows, including a guide to spellcrafting, connecting with animal spirits, crafting rituals, and performing initiations.
